Are legal professionals seeking to sue drug companies behind for that bogus vaccine autism study? There are numerous news about Dr. Andrew Wakefield along with the dirty vaccine study.
Here’s section of a CNN story. What I find most disturbing is really a sentence that I’ve bolded at the end.
Vaccination rates dropped sharply in britain after its publication, falling as low as 80% by 2004. Measles cases have gone up sharply during the ensuing years.
Inside the United States Of America, more cases of measles were reported in 2008 compared to another year since 1997, based on the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Above 90% of those infected had not been vaccinated or their vaccination status was unknown, the CDC reported.
„But perhaps as necessary as the scare’s influence on infectious disease is the energy, emotion and funds which have been diverted faraway from efforts to be familiar with the authentic factors that cause autism and how to help children and families who live with it,“ the BMJ editorial states.
Wakefield has been not able to reproduce his results in the face of criticism, and also other researchers have been unable to match them.
Most of his co-authors withdrew their names from the study in 2004 after learning he had had been paid by way of a law office that meant to sue vaccine manufacturers — a critical conflict of interest he didn’t disclose…
…According to BMJ, Wakefield received more than 435,000 pounds ($674,000) through the legal professionals.
A law office that intended to sue vaccine manufacturers paid the doc almost seven hundred thousand dollars to finance a study so that they could begin suing manufacturers? This might be probably the most cynical ambulance-chasing I’ve have you heard of.
