This is an account of one of the worst and most extensive examples of official misinformation and manipulation ever perpetrated in healthcare world-wide prior to the Covid crisis.
SITE SUMMARY
The series documents the deliberate elaborate intentional and systematic fabrications perpetrated by three editors of the British Medical Journal in 2011. These editors publicly accused a doctor, Andrew Wakefield, of committing fraud in a scientific paper published in the Lancet medical journal which implicated the MMR vaccine in causing autism in children.
Why this, why now
Many people have been shocked to learn of false claims made by governments, some health officials, medical organisations and professionals concerning the supposed Covid 19 pandemic and the unsafe vaccines promoted as “safe and effective“ which were neither and of the billions of dollars, Euros, pounds and other currencies squandered and the vast profits made by the super-rich whilst the world was made poorer.
….
But what people do not know is how any of this was made possible nor the extent of official misinformation about health generally and how long misinformation has been promoted and used at all levels in healthcare world-wide to mislead and manipulate – in this case – entire countries.
This story starts forty years ago and brings us to the present day and the severe physical and mental harms still being done to children, who would otherwise be normal kids, and to adults and all their families, worldwide – for profit.
What is it all about?
The fraud allegations against Andrew Wakefield were and remain baseless fabrications – pure invention with no facts or evidence to back them up.
The BMJ had commercial agreements with MMR vaccine manufacturers which the three editors failed to disclose when they made their false fraud allegations against Andrew Wakefield.
The three editors’ allegations were claimed to be justified by a BMJ
commissioned article. The article claimed falsely Andrew Wakefield fabricated the results of investigations into 12 children in order to implicate the MMR vaccine in causing autism. The BMJ article claimed every element and aspect of the Lancet paper was fabricated by Wakefield.
The truth however is that the Lancet paper faithfully reported the results of investigations carried out by 12 specialist expert medical professionals at The Royal Free Hospital, London, England into 12 children. The children developed bowel disease and suffered developmental regression with nine diagnosed as autistic, two more as having autistic symptoms and one who suffered catastrophic regression within a short time of vaccination but had no autistic symptoms.
Family doctors, hospital doctors and parents had linked these problems to the administration of the MMR vaccine in eight of the twelve cases.
Andrew Wakefield was the co-ordinating author, who wrote the paper on behalf of his 12 colleagues based on the findings they had made when treating the children concerned. So there were 12 authors in addition to Andrew Wakefield.
The BMJ article was designed to claim falsely that an association between MMR vaccine and developmental regression and bowel disease in children was a fraud when it is not.
Hi Tess and all,
Here is some information you will not have known and it is only being brought to light now on Euripides Substack.
