MMR doctor ‘failed to act in interests of children’
Dr Andrew Wakefield, the expert at the centre of the MMR controversy,
“failed in his duties as a responsible consultant” and did not act in the best interests of children involved in his research,
the General Medical Council (GMC) ruled today.
Wakefield also acted dishonestly and was misleading and irresponsible in the way he described research which was later published in The Lancet medical journal, the GMC said.
Maybe at last people will see the damage this one person managed to make to the research into the true causes of Autism. He set back research in this area by a number of years as funds and resources were diverted in investigating any possible links.
I assume the GMC can still sentence him to be hung, drawn and quartered in the interests of Medical Science.
