  William Wakefield - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Colonel William Wakefield (1801-1848), married 1826 to Emily Sydney, the fifth child of Edward Wakefield and Priscilla Bell, he was the leader of the first colonizing expedition to New Zealand and founder of Wellington.
Reading William's subsequent accounts of the deals he made with the Maori and also other accounts, such as that written by his nephew, Edward Jerningham Wakefield, who accompanied him on the expedition as acting secretary, every effort was made to fulfil these conditions.
William was quite clear that he had bought and paid for the land on behalf of the New Zealand Company but it soon emerged that despite his efforts the Maori had not fully understood the nature of the deal.

 Andy Wakefield story, from the Washington Post
After opening with Wakefield's familiar claim to "listen to his patients" [although, as an academic gut surgeon, Wakefield had no patients], Frankel recounts a version of the story told by Rosemary Kessick, who runs a Wakefield fan club called Allergy-Induced Autism.
Frankel describes Wakefield in traditional manner ["tall, square-jawed and soft-spoken"], and describes him as once having been "a golden boy in the medical world".
The report then discusses the "single jabs" issue, sparked by an unsubstantiated claim by Wakefield at the press conference that these might be safer than the triple MMR, before moving on to the failure of the intended MMR lawsuit after the Legal Services Commission "pulled the plug on funding".
