Callous Disregard: Autism and Vaccines: The Truth Behind a Tragedy
Preorder - out in MAY
IN US http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/IS...4/wellwithinA/ 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. |

Shouldn't that be "the account of how a doctor working for a solicitor trying to cobble together a court case and misrepresenting data to support his paymasters got found out"? "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 Actually an unverified claim of a conversation supposedly between this unidentified woman and Wakefield. 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. Follow the science or go for the money? We now know which he chose. Wakefield provides the facts, Will he provide the facts about Unigenetics and how their discredited results completely failed to support his hypothesis? Will he explain the facts about why he did not make this information public? He does this in a detailed forensic analysis of the lies, obfuscation, cover ups, I doubt it, he has far to much to lose by suddenly discovering honesty now. Dr Andrew Wakefield, MB, BS, FRCS, FRCPath, is an academic gastroenterologist. He was. |

... Preorder - out in MAY IN US http://www.amazon.com/ Callous Disregard: Autism and Vaccines: The Truth Behind a Tragedy Andrew J. Wakefield (Author) The subject is autism; the suspect is childhood vaccines. Based on what? if that were the culprit then everyone would know and "fix it". Callous disregard for truth on yours and his words. 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. How did he know it was not genetics? Now you are saying that no one knows about autism except a discredited Doctor. Just how is a world "at risk"? |

Are you confused? 1st you say it isn't genetics, then you say ir is part genetics, then something else. Ok, then why isn't it do to the type of corn the people eat or feed their kids, or maybe the milk or formula they give them to drink? Identical twins are not all that identical, there are a ton of differences, both may have the some of the same genes but the mixtures are what shapes them. Heck it could boil down to the water and the amount of water they drink since the "unknown" is unknown it makes no sense to stake ones life on what the unknown "is". |

There are instances of identical twins with only one twin having the disease. Such instances are not observed with truly genetic diseases, like Down syndrome. That's incorrect. There are a lot of genetic diseases where all people who have a gene (technically an allele which is term for variant of a gene) for a disease who don't get the disease. For example, there are people who have the alleles for cystic fibrosis who have perfectly functioning lungs. Another example is Marfan's syndrome. People can have the allele for these diseases and not have the disease. So when a disease is genetic, that means that the disease is affected by particular alleles, and which alleles a person has influences the likelihood that a person will get a particular disease. In addition, in the case of Down syndrome, the accomplishments of people with Down syndrome range from unable to complete first grade to college graduates. People with Down syndrome have a variety of physical problems, like heart disease and decreased muscle tone, but not all people with Down syndrome get these problems. Another example of a genetic disease is type II diabetes. If someone has the alleles associated with type II diabetes, that person may or may not get diabetes. Whether or not the person gets diabetes depends on many factors, including the other genes the person has, the person's sex, number of kids (in the case of females, both biological and adopted), weight, exercise, diet, lifestyle and other diseases the person has. Other diseases that are genetic, but not everyone who has the particular genes get the disease include cystic fibrosis, depression, schizophrenia, autism and autism spectrum diseases, type I diabetes and other autoimmune diseases, asthma, ADHD, type II diabetes, alcoholism and drug dependence, heart disease and most cancers. James D. Watson, who came to visit the lab in which I was working in Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, knows a bit about the subject. He wrote a book called, _DNA:_The_Secret_of_Life. I thoroughly enjoyed the book. You might find the book helpful to understanding genetics. There are also many other excellent books out there about genetics for the general public. (Maurice Wilkins and Rosalind Franklin did the ground-breaking work that led Watson and Francis Crick to discover the structure of DNA; Watson, Crick and Wilkins received the Noble prize for this work.)
