Andrew Wakefield, Director of “Vaxxed”
Andrew Wakefield, Director of “Vaxxed” - “Vaxxed” is about a corrupt organization that systematically sought to hide a risk of autism that was identified, putting millions of children in harms way and leading us in a state of ignorance about the true levels of safety for the MMR vaccine.
He pursued a career in gastrointestinal surgery with a particular interest in inflammatory bowel disease. He qualified as Fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons in 1985 and in 1996 was awarded a Wellcome Trust Traveling Fellowship to study small-intestinal transplantation in Toronto, Canada. He was made a Fellow of the Royal College of Pathologists in 2001. He has published over 130 original scientific articles, book chapters, and invited scientific commentaries.
In the pursuit of possible links between childhood vaccines, intestinal inflammation, and neurologic injury in children, Dr. Wakefield lost his job in the Department of Medicine at London's Royal Free Hospital, his country, his career, and his medical license.
