Callous Disregard: Autism and Vaccines: The Truth Behind a Tragedy
Andrew J. Wakefield (Author)

IN UK - don't see it on Amazon.co.uk yet


Conspiracy - or ruthless pragmatism? How the vaccine apparatchiks and
medical self-interest groups deal with dissent.

The subject is autism; the suspect is childhood vaccines. This is the
account of how a doctor confronted first a disease, and then the medical
system that sought and still seeks to deny that disease, leaving millions of
children to suffer and a world at risk.


"Do not judge me too harshly Dr. Wakefield, but when I die I am taking my
son with me. You see, I'm all he has. I'm the only one who loves him."


- A mother's plea in 1997


In 1995 Wakefield came to a fork in the road. As an academic
gastroenterologist at the Royal Free School of Medicine and the University
of London, Wakefield was presented with a professional challenge and
confronted by a moral choice. Previously normal children were, according to
their parents, regressing into autism and developing intestinal problems -
many parents blamed the MMR vaccine. Trusting in his medical training,
parental narrative, and above all, the instinct of mothers for their
children's wellbeing, he chose the hard road.

Walk that road now, here; some already have - the parents of affected
children. Many will, either as parents or grandparents, as the worldwide
tsunami of childhood developmental disorders break hearts and bankrupts
educational and healthcare infrastructures.

Wakefield provides the facts, an explanation of the problem that confronted
him and his colleagues 15 years ago. He does this in a detailed forensic
analysis of the lies, obfuscation, cover ups, and the dystopian science and
medicine that panders to commercial interest at the expense of your
children.



About Dr. Wakefield


Dr Andrew Wakefield, MB, BS, FRCS, FRCPath, is an academic
gastroenterologist. He received his medical degree from St. Mary's Hospital
Medical School (part of the University of London) in 1981, one of the third
generation of his family to have studied medicine at that teaching hospital.


He pursued a career in gastrointestinal surgery with a particular interest
in inflammatory bowel disease. He qualified as Fellow of the Royal College
of Surgeons in 1985 and in 1996 was awarded a Wellcome Trust Traveling
Fellowship to study small-intestinal transplantation in Toronto, Canada. He
was made a Fellow of the Royal College of Pathologists in 2001. He has
published over 130 original scientific articles, book chapters, and invited
scientific commentaries.



In the pursuit of possible links between childhood vaccines, intestinal
inflammation, and neurologic injury in children, Dr. Wakefield lost his job
in the Department of Medicine at London's Royal Free Hospital, his country,
his career, and his medical license.



He is married to Carmel, a physician and a classical radio presenter. They
have four children, James, Sam, Imogen, and Corin, and a black mongrel
called Bella.
