Dr. Wakefield has Medical License Revoked

Author: mom_to_one, 05 25th, 2010

Several weeks ago we reported on the retracted study of Dr. Andrew Wakefield, which cited vaccination as one of the main causes of the steep increase in the number of autism cases. It appears that the saga of Dr. Wakefield isn’t over yet. The General Medical Council of Britain revoked Dr. Wakefield’s license to practice medicine today due to the falsified study. In addition to the autism study, the board found Wakefield guilty of more than 30 other professional infractions.

In the wake of the study, which was originally published in 1998, numerous parents refrained from giving their child the MMR vaccine. This trend led to a resurgence of measles and, subsequently, several deaths. Despite the retraction of the study by the journal it was originally published in, Dr. Wakefield stands by his findings.
