Autism/Vaccine Proponent Andrew Wakefield, Banned from Medicine in Britain
As a follow-up to our post on the death of the vaccine/autism litigation last week, we report the following news: Dr. Andrew Wakefield, the chief proponent of the now discredited junk science behind the MMR vaccine/autism link, has been banned from practicing medicine in his native UK.
Wakefield has moved to Texas and set up an autism clinic.
A brief synopsis of the whole sorry history of the MMR vaccine/autism scare is encapsulated in this prior post and comic strip which is eloquent in its brevity and accuracy.
