	Dr. Andrew Wakefield at Thoughtful House
		Wakefield resisted pressure to stop his research on the possible links between childhood immunizations, intestinal inflammation and autism, leaving the Royal Free School of Medicine in 2001.
		He is involved in many scientific research collaborations in the U.S and abroad, investigations centering on the immunologic, metabolic, and pathologic changes occurring in inflammatory bowel diseases such as autistic enterocolitis, links between intestinal disease and neurologic injury in children, and the possible relationship of these conditions to environmental causes, such as childhood vaccines.
		During the course of his work on childhood developmental disorders, Dr. Wakefield was increasingly convinced of the need for a research-oriented, integrated bio-medical and educational approach to these disorders, in order to translate clinical benefits for affected children into measurable developmental progress; this is the driving aim of Thoughtful House.

	BBC NEWS \| Health \| Profile: Dr Andrew Wakefield
		Dr Andrew Wakefield was the lead author of the controversial study, which suggested there may be a link between MMR and autism and bowel disease.
		Andrew Wakefield was born into a family of doctors in 1957.
		At the same time, Dr Wakefield was paid to carry out another study to find out if parents who claim their children were damaged by the MMR vaccine had a case.

	Dr Wakefield
		Wakefield said that it was the parents who saw the connection between the vaccine and the changes in their children “The parents were right,” he said.
		Dr Wakefield continued public backing for his hypothesis that the MMR triple jab could be responsible for rising rates of autism among children has made him a hero to many parents seeking a reason for their children's distressing condition, but rendered him virtually a pariah to most of the medical establishment.
		Now, at the eleventh hour, just before Andrew Wakefield was to have his day in court and publicly defend himself against nearly a decade of baseless charges by those seeking to silence him, the doctors in charge of the GMC have put their collective tails between their legs and run.

	What happens to MDs who won't play ball?
		Andrew Wakefield, a consultant gastroenterologist whose research has linked the vaccine to autism and bowel disease in children, said last night that he had been asked to resign because of his work.
		The row became a crisis last January when Dr Wakefield told The Telegraph that he had seen almost 170 children with a similar story and claimed that the Department of Health's contention that MMR had been proven to be safe did not "hold up".
		Dr Wakefield was at that meeting, supporting the parents' plea, but last week he had finally to acknowledge that the hostility towards him inside the hospital and its medical school had made his position there untenable.

	spiked-health \| Column \| Andrew Wakefield: misguided maverick
		The core of Dr Wakefield's case is that, in some children, the MMR immunisation provokes inflammation of the small and large bowel - enterocolitis - and that this causes toxins to leak into the blood stream.
		The launch of Dr Wakefield's paper criticising the introduction of MMR in Britain in January 2001 (in a journal with a circulation of 350) was staged by the medical research charity Visceral, of which Dr Wakefield was then a trustee and is now an employee.
		The notion of a subgroup of children vulnerable to MMR is not advanced in the February 1998 paper - it represents a fallback position adopted by Wakefield in response to the weight of epidemiological evidence that MMR could not be a factor in the vast majority of cases of autism.

	Melanie Phillips's Articles
		From the moment that surgeon Andrew Wakefield first published his explosive theory suggesting a link between autism, bowel disease and the measles, mumps and rubella triple jab, the government and the medical establishment have been determined to discredit him and thus destroy his research.
		The report claimed Mr Wakefield had failed to tell the Lancet he had also received legal aid funds to carry out a separate study, as part of the legal case being brought by parents of autistic children against the MMR manufacturers.
		But surely Mr Wakefield is being accused of a conflict of interest which did not occur at the time, in order to create the false impression that he and his colleagues deliberately skewed their selection of children for investigation in the Lancet exercise to support a crack-brained theory.

	AutismConnect - Andrew Wakefield may not now face misconduct charges
		Dr Wakefield has been strongly backed by the parents of autistic children allegedly damaged by the vaccine, who refused to condemn his actions when interviewed as part of the inquiry.
		It was also claimed Dr Wakefield's research had not been valid because he failed to disclose a £50,000 grant from the lawyers of parents attempting to sue MMR's manufacturers for their children's disorders.
		The GMC investigation into Dr Wakefield started in late 2004, when The Lancet publicly rejected his findings because he failed to reveal he received £55,000 in legal aid to carry out separate research for parents who claimed their children had been harmed by the jab.

	Respectful Insolence: Surprise, surprise! Andrew Wakefield was paid by lawyers to undermine the MMR vaccine
		ANDREW WAKEFIELD, the former surgeon whose campaign linking the MMR vaccine with autism caused a collapse in immunisation rates, was paid more than £400,000 by lawyers trying to prove that the vaccine was unsafe.
		Wakefield now runs a business in Austin, Texas, two of whose employees are listed as receiving a total of £112,000 in fees, while a Florida physician, who appointed the former surgeon as his "director of research", was paid £21,600, the figures show.
		Even if Wakefield had been totally correct in his original finding, the simple fact remains: he accepted a large sum of money from people who wanted him to reach the conclusion he did; and he omitted to tell the scientific community that he was receiving the money, and from whom he was receiving it.

	washingtonpost.com: Charismatic Doctor at Vortex of Vaccine Dispute
		By the time Kessick came to see Wakefield with her son William, he had already begun to theorize about a link between the rising numbers of children with Crohn's disease, an inflammatory intestinal disorder, and the introduction of the MMR vaccine a few years earlier.
		Wakefield went on to publish a series of papers seeking to reinforce his thesis and saying that he and other researchers had discovered measles viruses in the bowels of autism victims.
		Wakefield said his funding and responsibilities were curtailed to the point that in 2001 he left the Royal Free.

	Inflammation
		Timothy Buie and Dr. Andrew Wakefield have been working tirelessly to determine the cause of inflammation in children with autism; they have focused their academic lenses on the malfunctioning of the gastrointestinal tract.
		In 1998, Dr. Andrew Wakefield and his colleagues at the Royal Free Hospital reported a novel inflammatory bowel disease in children with developmental disorders such as autism; the condition later became known as autistic enterocolitis.
		Wakefield, who is recognized by many in the autism community worldwide as an authority on autism, told parents involved in his research, "I realise now that everything that has happened to me was inevitable from the beginning.

	Dr. Andrew Wakefield - articles re: Lancet "conflict of interest" charge
		The vilification of Dr Andrew Wakefield in recent days has been a side show to the important issue of whether the mumps, measles, and rubella triple vaccine (MMR) poses a risk to a small sub set of children.
		Andrew Wakefield, the scientist who first suggested a possible link between the triple vaccine and autism, has been villified by the scientific establishment.
		Dr Wakefield has been "discredited" because he was taking money from the Legal Aid Board at the time of his report...The board was paying him to discover, on behalf of parents hoping to sue for damages, whether the jab was harmful to their children.

	who is this man dr andrew wakefield
		Wakefield says these parents were told by their physicians that there could be no possible link between their children's autism and their bowels.
		Millions of children are vaccinated with MMR every year, and public health officials say breaking up the vaccine into its three components would result in less coverage, and a return to the days of widespread childhood disease.
		Wakefield's been urged to do more research, have a larger sample, to work with double-blind tests, to do more standard research to confirm his theories.

	Autism Vox » Who’s harming whom?: Misconduct charges brought against Andrew Wakefield
		The Daily Mail noted that, after Dr. Wakefield’s research was published, “uptake of the vaccine for children aged under two [fell] from around 92% in 1995/96 to 82% in 2002/03.” Outbreaks of measles have occurred in areas of the UK where very low amounts of children received the vaccine.
		Wakefield now resides in the US and is a researcher for Thoughtful House in Austin, Texas.
		The GMC charges fail to identify Dr Wakefield’s most important offence: this was not that he produced poor-quality science, but that instead of substantiating his improbable hypothesis, he embarked on a public campaign against MMR that could not be justified scientifically.

	AutismConnect - THE DEPARTURE OF DR ANDREW WAKEFIELD
		Most of you reading this will know who Andrew Wakefield is. He is the man who first suggested, back in 1988, that there could be a link, in some cases, between the combined MMR (measles, mumps, rubella) vaccine and autism and a specific bowel disorder which he calls autistic enterocolitis.
		Of course, Dr Wakefield has always been at great pains to emphasise that he is not anti-vaccine at all.
		On the one hand, Andrew Wakefield, who, in direct response to parents' pleas, is prepared to lose his job in order to solidify the evidence backing up his theory that the MMR jab somehow triggers autism in a small number of children.

		Andrew Wakefield’s Response to NEJM Autism MMR Study 12/14/02
		I also posted Dr. Wakefield’s article to provide those who are skeptical with the understanding that there is some hard science that refutes the traditional paradigm’s assertions that vaccines are safe and not proven to cause harm or disease.
		Wakefield was terminated from his academic position at one of the leading hospitals in England last year for his stance on vaccines; he is clearly a man of high integrity.

		Wakefield himself points out, in his testimony before a US Congressional committee in June 2000, many problems with this study, not the least of which is that it tested the wrong hypothesis and its conclusions are therefore invalid.
		Wakefield has found measles virus in the guts of over 170 autistic children, and Dr. Kawashima from Japan has confirmed that the virus found comes from the MMR vaccine.
		Scott Montgomery, a colleague of Dr. Wakefield's, has found that children who are given the measles vaccine in temporal proximity to mumps infection have an increased risk of bowel disease.

	JABS Forum - Andrew Wakefield speaks out
		It is 7 am and Dr Andrew Wakefield has come off the phone to his wife.
		When the Daily Express broke the news to Dr Wakefield in Texas, he replied: "If this is really the case, I would be disappointed because I am keen for a hearing to go ahead so the issue can be publicly aired in order that the truth might emerge.
		Dr Wakefield has always vehemently denied the claims, maintaining that the grant was for separate research.' The debate became even more heated over the question of whether Leo Blair had been given the MMR jab, and his parents' refusal to confirm or deny it.

	WITCHUNT! the attack on dr. andrew wakefield
		Mr Wakefield received funding to see if there was any evidence to support possible legal action by a group of parents who claimed their children were damaged by the vaccine.
		The number of confirmed measles cases in England and Wales rose from 56 in 1998 to 438 in 2003, although the provisional figure for 2005 was back down to 77.
		The Independent reports that Mr Wakefield will face four charges: that he published inadequately founded research, failed to obtain ethical committee approval for the work, obtained funding for it improperly, and subjected children to "unnecessary and invasive investigations".

	Left Brain/Right Brain » Andrew Wakefield backs down
		When 13 doctors from London’s Royal Free hospital, including Andrew Wakefield, announced the research in the Lancet at a heavily-promoted press conference in February 1998, it triggered a slump in immunizations and a rise in outbreaks of infectious diseases.
		Wakefield’s response was to launch libel suits against Brian Deer, Channel 4 and The Times during which time he was steadfast, as his wife describes:
		And now it seems like its going to be an ‘annus horribilis’ for Wakefield – the man who once claimed that there would be an established proven link between MMR and autism in 2002 – as Brian has now received news that, contrary to the claims of his wife, Wakefield has indeed, ‘run away’.

	Scotsman.com News - MMR vaccine - Expert says MMR autism link will be proved this year
		In a recent study, Dr Wakefield and his colleagues established that children with bowel disease were much more likely to have measles virus in their gut cells.
		Dr Wakefield added: "There are several papers coming out next month and the month after which confirm a link between the mechanism of the bowel and the brain.
		Dr Wakefield also believes that as the evidence against MMR grows and increasing numbers boycott the vaccine, health officials risk legal action from parents denied the single measles jab.
