| In doing so he threatened some of the world’s most powerful interests. With his colleagues in London, England, he later published the early clinical findings in 12 children suffering from autistic regression and bowel symptoms in the eminent medical journal The Lancet. This paper and Wakefield’s recommendation for single vaccines lit the fuse of the ensuing vaccine wars. Never in the field of human endeavor has so much been said by so many about a paper that has been read and understood by so few. No medical article in world history has received more attention, been subjected to closer regulatory scrutiny, and had more opprobrium heaped upon it than this Early Report. No paper has been misinterpreted and misrepresented more than this important but relatively humble contribution to the medical literature. The paper was right The children suffered from a new disease syndrome – one now replicated around the world. Desperate efforts have been made to erase these children and their stories from the medical and scientific record. But they will fail. Why? Because, as Dr Wakefield puts it, “Nature can’t be deceived; maternal instinct is a most powerful force – we would not be here without it.” Callous Disregard - delayed by legal process - is long overdue. In the certainty that justice will not be served, at least in the short-term, Callous Disregard tells the story behind one of the greatest health scandals of all time. Read about the reactions of those forces denying this scandal and come to your own conclusions. Buy the book at
