Dr. Wakefield’s study was a case report, the foundation of “where medicine begins”
When parents came to Dr. Wakefield and his colleague Dr. John Walker-Smith reporting unexplained bowel problems in their children who were recently vaccinated with MMR, the two doctors merely reported on this honestly for the betterment of science. And contrary to popular belief, their research was later corroborated by others within the field who conducted their own follow-up studies implicating the MMR vaccine as associated with novel inflammatory bowel disease.
“My father used to say to me as a neurologist, ‘If you find something on physical examination of the patient that you have not anticipated in the clinical history, you have not taken an adequate history,’” stated Dr. Wakefield. “And the history the mothers gave is that they took their children to have, in this case, the MMR vaccination… and beyond that point their child disappeared. They were not anti-vaccine. They were at the front of the line. They took them [to get vaccinated] on time. They were not looking for excuses, they wanted answers.
“Their child was normal. After the MMR, they had a very high fever, they screamed, they then fell asleep for three days, they had a seizure. And when they woke up, they were never, ever the same again. Speech, language, interaction, socialization — gone.”
Leading gastroenterologists all confirmed Dr. Wakefield’s observations and findings
As honest physicians, Drs. Wakefield and Walker-Smith weren’t content with the medical establishment’s ironic dismissal of all these observed symptoms as being “just autism.” The children whose parents had voluntarily sought out Dr. Wakefield for help most definitely experienced inflammatory bowel disease following vaccination with MMR. And for bringing this inconvenient truth to light, Dr. Wakefield paid a huge price: He instantly became an establishment target.
“What we found working with the world’s leading pediatric gastroenterologist, Prof. John Walker-Smith, is that these children had an inflammatory bowel disease,” explained Dr. Wakefield.
“I was accused of performing colonoscopies on these children, doing lumbar punctures — I never investigated these children. I was responsible for bringing this team together and conducting the investigation of these children. I was not responsible for their clinical care — that was performed by an outstanding group of gastroenterologists who confirmed, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that these children have an inflammatory bowel disease and that has now been replicated around the world.”

Dr. Wakefield’s research was later vindicated, and the case against him ruled a fraud, but the mainstream media never reported this
So how is the mainstream media continuing to get away with lying about Dr. Wakefield and his important research into MMR? The same way it gets away with everything else — repeating that lie over and over and over again until it’s crystallized in the minds of the gullible that Dr. Wakefield is a fraud, when he’s really a lone voice of truth in a sea of liars.
“What has happened in the meantime is a sideshow, and it’s been to divert attention from what is gross regulatory failure to protect individuals, to protect governments and to protect industry from past liabilities and future profits,” warned Dr. Wakefield about the mainstream media’s relentless crusade to destroy his reputation and character.
“What was never reported in the newspapers is that after we went to the GMC and had our licenses removed, Prof. John Walker-Smith took his case to the English High Court — the only time that this case had ever been heard before a proper judiciary — what did they find? Justice Mitting on General Medical Council:
“[There were] ‘fundamental errors,’ there was distortion of evidence, inadequate analysis, inadequate and superficial reasoning and explanation, inappropriate rejection of evidence, ‘flawed’ and ‘wrong’ reasoning, and ‘numerous and significant inadequacies’…. Universal inadequacies and some errors… go to the heart of the case. They are not curable. The panel’s determination cannot stand. I therefore quash it.”
“These are the same charges against me. I was unable to appeal or continue my appeal because of lack of funding — it would have cost me 500,000 pounds.”
