Some of Andrew Wakefield’s atrocities: -patent on vaccine to replace MMR not disclosed -paid $665K by attorney to do study on kids w/invasive tests like spinal tap done per atty’s instructions, details not approved by IRB/ethics committee -falsified data Yet published in Lancet

My question: how did this unethical sleazeball enjoy such lack of oversight by multiple peer review processes, both internal & external? This is a broader issue of lack of accountability and free pass given to some showboat docs vs heavy handed discipline of others System fail

He literally took blood from kids at a birthday party, causing them to cry & vomit, & no one reported him?!? Yet I spend extra time to change a dirty diaper that male colleagues not expected to change. If I fail to satisfy on non-medical things w/ with family, earn complaint

I am most happy to do what makes families feel respected, listened to. Yes, I can clean poopy bottoms of my patients But, I resent having to clean up the messes made by privileged “colleagues” w/in healthcare, who are given free passes & their abuses create public health crises

If we had consistent ethical oversight of everyone, the Andrew Wakefields would be stopped early & not rewarded for flagrant violation of multiple ethical standards with prestigious publication. This is the danger of *wink wink* old boy network

I would bet (something valuable) that Andrew Wakefield’s complete disregard for ethics did not begin with that one Lancet study. Where did he learn that was acceptable? Who knew and looked away? What bullying behavior was tolerated, rewarded? Why was this bad apple in the barrel?

To me... Wakefield is just an idiot without a conscience. Palevsky, though. That guy has gone completely to the dark side.

I'm glad they aren't allowing babies. Small mercies I guess. Calling it a serious event made me laugh though.

They must know how bad it would look if some unvaccinated babies caught measles from the event.
