Scared UK Docs Won't Charge Wakefield

"The General Medical Council has indicated
that it will not proceed with charges against Dr
Andrew Wakefield, who first suggested a link between
the triple jab and autism. 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. Last night the families claimed the
investigation had been used to discredit his work and
prevent further study into the risks of the vaccine." -

BL Fisher Note:

It has been eight long years since British
gastroenterologist Andrew Wakefield, M.D. and
colleagues from the Royal Free Hospital in London
published an article in The Lancet urging further
scientific investigation into the possible link between
MMR vaccine, inflammatory bowel disease and autism
in some children. Ever since, Wakefield has been
subjected to a vicious personal and professional
smear campaign at the hands of public health officials
and medical doctors in Britain, the U.S. and Canada,
who have no tolerance for scientific investigation into
the biological mechanisms for vaccine injury and
death.



Britain's General Medical Council (GMC), which
is the equivalent of a self annointed Medical Supreme
Court, has publicly been conducting an "investigation"
for the past two years into whether Andrew
Wakefield should be convicted of "professional
misconduct" and have his medical license taken
away. For the sin of trying to prevent healthy
children from regressing physically, mentally, and
emotionally after MMR vaccination into autism, the
GMC has been determined to make sure he cannot
find ways to help autistic children recover from MMR
vaccine induced autism.



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. Just like a common street
bully, who blindsides an innocent with a sucker punch
in the dark, doctors inside and outside of government
and industry are too chicken to stand ground and
fight in the light of day. The GMS has apparently
figured out it won't stand a chance fighting Wakefield
under the bright lights of the media it has duped and
exploited in order to hide the child victims of one-size-
fits all vaccine policies that end up targeting the
genetically vulnerable for sacrifice.



It does not matter anymore what the GMC and
doctors in charge of the mass vaccination system in
the US and countries around the world do or do not
do to Andrew Wakefield. His legacy is already written
in the hearts and minds of the people whose children
he has saved and will save from a lifetime of pain.

MMR row doctor who defied Government 'in the clear'

Daily Mail, U.K.

July 15, 2006


By SUE CORRIGAN and SALLY BECK


The doctor at the heart of the MMR vaccine
controversy may not face charges of misconduct
despite a 20-month investigation which has
devastated his professional reputation.



The General Medical Council has indicated that
it will not proceed with charges against Dr Andrew
Wakefield, who first suggested a link between the

triple jab and autism.


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. Last night the
families claimed the investigation had been used to
discredit his work and prevent further study into the
risks of the vaccine.



Dr Wakefield first suggested a link between
the triple vaccine for measles, mumps and rubella and
autism and bowel disease in 1998, after carrying out
tests on 12 children admitted to the Royal Free
Hospital in London with serious bowel disorders. He
proposed that parents be offered three single
injections.



The Government denied there was a problem
with the vaccine and it became a politically sensitive
issue after senior Labour figures, including Tony Blair,
refused to disclose if their children had received the
jab. Dr Wakefield was ostracised by the medical
establishment and has since moved to America.



In late 2004 the GMC announced it was
launching an inquiry into allegations of serious
professional misconduct against Dr Wakefield and two
former colleagues. It centred on claims that autistic
children admitted to the hospital with serious bowel
problems were subjected to "unnecessary and
invasive", tests.

Smear campaign



However, the children's parents are
understood to have staunchly defended the doctor's
actions, praising him as the first to take their
concerns seriously.



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. Dr Wakefield has consistently argued that
the grant was for separate research.



Nearly two years later the GMC has not drawn
up any formal charges against Dr Wakefield and no
date has been set for a public hearing, at which
scientific arguments for a link between MMR and
autism would have been aired. GMC spokeswoman Jo
Wren said there is now "no guarantee", there will ever
be a hearing.



New figures released last week revealed that
more than one in 100 children in the UK suffer from
autism - far higher than previously thought.



Last night Rosemary Kessick, the mother of an
autistic boy whose treatment is part of the
investigation, accused the GMC of allowing itself to
be used as part of a deliberate Government campaign
to smear Dr Wakefield and prop up public confidence
in MMR.


"Hundreds of autistic children with the serious
bowel disease first identified by Dr Wakefield have
been unable to get any treatment in the UK, and the
drawn-out GMC investigation has played a major role
in this disgraceful state of affairs," she said. "It is
deeply disturbing that Dr Wakefield's research findings
and personal integrity have been so damagingly called
into question on the basis of draft charges that may,
in the end, simply be dropped."



Last night Dr Wakefield confirmed that no
charges had been filed to date
