Telling Dr. Wakefield’s story

Telling Dr. Wakefield’s story

We have all heard the say- ing “there are two sides to every story.” Well now we will have a chance to hear the other side of the story about the MMR vaccine and autism by Dr. Andrew Wakefield in his new book, “Callous Disregard.” Dr. Wakefield, while studying infectious diseases and inflammatory bowel disease, encountered parents of autistic children. He listened to their stories and investigated their claims — their children got the MMR and then they fell ill with bowel issues, along with developing autism. And for pursuing this issue and being an honorable man, he has been vilified and persecuted until he was driven from his home country and lost his medical license. The message was clear, and the end result was predetermined from the outset. Don’t question vaccines — ever — because if you do, look what will happen to you.

I doubt many people know that Dr. Wakefield’s original study has been replicated in five different countries.

In the U.K. and here in the U.S. the media has crucified him, while lapping up the information being fed to them by the government/pharmaceutical companies.

Dr. Wakefield actually listened to the parents who said they gave their baby the MMR and then something happened to them. They stopped acting normally, they stopped talking, and they fell ill. They were eventually diagnosed with autism. This happened to my son.

Dr. Wakefield truly cares about children like my son. Unlike all the medical organizations and public health agencies that are in lockstep with pharmaceutical companies and only concerned with vaccination rates that translate into billions for the pharmaceutical industry. Speaking of vaccinating, for being the most vaccinated, our children are the sickest. We have epidemics of asthma, allergies, diabetes, learning, behavioral and neurological problems. And, our infant mortality ranks 42nd out of 120 countries. That’s horrible.

Dr. Wakefield stated, “These parents are not going away, the children aren’t going away, and I most certainly am not going away.”

His research will continue. Read his book and get the other side of the story.
