Dr. Andrew Wakefield on Imus in the Morning
By Anne Dachel
The current De Niro/Tribeca hysteria in the media needs to be resolved, and the only way to do that is to call Dr. William Thompson to testify before Congress.
Listen HERE:
IMUS IN THE MORNING, April 12, 2016, Andrew Wakefield, Director of “Vaxxed”
Dr Andrew Wakefield, MB, BS, FRCS, FRCPath, is an academic gastroenterologist. He received his medical degree from St. Mary's Hospital Medical School (part of the University of London) in 1981, one of the third generation of his family to have studied medicine at that teaching hospital.
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.
WHAT WAS SAID ON DON IMUS TUES.
Andrew Wakefield stated we cannot trust any study coming from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention....
Andy said that he and others involved with the film were told nothing about why "Vaxxed" was pulled from Tribeca. He said that a film festival that censors certain films then becomes "a propaganda machine.
The discussion focused on the Mumps, Measles, and Rubella vaccine. He explained how when the three vaccines were combined, they interacted with each other and the science was "completely ignored." This vaccine was linked to meningitis in Japan and other places. When single shots were given, it didn't happen.
Andy called for individual vaccines, instead of the current dangerous MMR combination. He reiterated that his original Lancet article never said vaccines cause autism or bowel inflammation . He had called for more studies to resolve this issue.
Six months after Dr. Wakefield made the recommendation for single doses of the MMR vaccine, the British government removed the option of separate vaccines. He went on to say that the same thing happened here because Merck had the monopoly on the combined vaccines, the MMR, and not on separate dose vaccines.
The audience was told to go to the VaXxed website for information on where "Vaxxed" is going to be shown.
Imus asked about William Thompson being called to testify before Congress.
Andy said, "With the Flint [MI] water contamination and the subsequent cover-up, within a month of that being exposed in the media, there was a hearing of the [Congressional] Oversight Committee, and the responsible authorities are being held accountable. It has been months and months and months since Thompson first came forward and said, 'I want to be subpoenaed, I want to come before Congress, and I want to tell my story. And it has not happened because the politicians have not been sufficiently embarrassed because the media has refused to take this on, to describe this story--WHY? Because their sponsors, I believe, from the pharmaceutical industry, want the lid kept on this very, very tightly."
Another example of interpreting studies the way you want to when it suits you. Most of the time, people are pretty cautious to draw conclusions about research articles. "It suggests this, but more research is needed," is a really common ending to an article. When such research is presented on morning TV, the TV docs are always cautious about overstating what the research means.
But when Dr. Wakefield says that, apparently it means something different. It certainly doesn't mean that more research is needed, because they most definitely aren't doing that. Nope. It means he linked autism to vaccines.
Seriously, when I read the article he published (yes, unlike most people who claim to know what he said in the article I actually did read it), I really wanted him to draw a strong conclusion. He didn't.

Very encouraging to hear that IMUS is "back in the game" .. asking serious questions .. of serious guests ... such as .. Dr Andrew Wakefield .. on that never-ending subject .. are vaccines as "safe and efficient" as public health bureaucracies insist they are .. or .. far more likely .. have vaccines contributed largely to the epidemic of childhood autoimmune disorders that now plague children born within the last two decades?
IMUS had "gone AWOL" on this subject for too long .. enough to make me stop listening to his show
GLAD TO HAVE THE IRRASCIBLE .. CRANKY .. IMUS BACK!!!!
