    I have a preprint of Brian Deer’s forthcoming book about Andrew Wakefield and have started reading it. Let’s just say that May will not be a good month for the old fraudster.https://twitter.com/DakaBlink/status/1221078879961403393 …

    Research fraud catalyzed the anti-vaccination movement. Let’s not repeat history. How Andrew Wakefield’s shoddy science fueled autism-vaccine fears that major studies keep debunking. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.vox.com/platform/amp/2018/2/27/17057990/andrew-wakefield-vaccines-autism-study …

        Sad but not entirely true. He was fired from his lucrative gig as medical director of the quack clinic Thoughtful House after he was struck off and his @TheLancet paper retracted 10 years ago. True, he did find other grift eventually, but times were bad for him for a while.

        I need to pick up that book! I wonder if he had any idea or care that his fraud would lead to so many deaths.

        Yeah. The sad thing is, at one time Lyons-Weiler was a reasonably competent scientist.

        This is a well written piece and in my opinion, deserves wide circulation. What has however not been yet robustly examined is why @TheLancet published such a clearly rotten “study” in the first place. Should there not be some work done to address that question? @CoyneoftheRealm

        Have heard editors were victims of their own snobbery. He went to posh school, son of doctors, attended top medical college and was practising at prestigious Royal Free Hospital in London. Don’t know if true but having worked in the British health system it sounds plausible.

        He’s been out in Hollywood dating and doing documentaries. While stripped of his medical license, he’s probably making more money now pedaling snake oil and standing behind his antivaxx garbage. Oh & Jenny McCarthy? Says her son never had autism to begin with.
