- CuriosidadesDirector Andrew Wakefield was main author of the study printed in the scientific journal "The Lancet" in 1998, which started the controversy between vaccines and autism. This study was later retracted by The Lancet, and Wakefield lost his medical license as a result. Dr. Wakefield, however, was not the only one found guilty. Co-author of the study Dr. J.A. Walker-Smith was also found guilty and stricken from the medical record by the same ruling of the General Medical Council (GMC) in Britain in 2010, although he had retired from practice in 2001. In contrast to Dr. Wakefield's insurance carrier, Dr. Walker-Smith's paid for an appeal, and in 2012 the High Court under Justice Mitting cleared Walker-Smith of all charges, concluding that the GMC's ruling had been flawed by "inadequate and superficial reasoning, and, in a number of instances, a wrong conclusion." Mr. Justice Mitting even called for changes in the way the GMC's hearings are conducted, saying "It would be a misfortune if this were to happen again."

Del Matthew Bigtree: So I had sent you what William Thompson has said is the fraud of the CDC, all that data that was missing. Did you get a chance to really look it over?
Rachael Ross: It's... uhm... it's really unbelievable, how blatantly the data were switched around. It made me question whether or not this organization that's been mandating how I practice medicine... well, if they're lying about this, and leaving data out of this particular study, *what else am I being lied to about?*

The point that the film makes --
What we need to know NOW is how often, and how many kids are harmed, and in what manner. Vaccines work, to some extent, and vaccines harm, to some extent. So it's time for a double blind study between the vaccinated and unvaccinated, that includes the entire range of vaccines. Incredibly, this has never been done.
What parents need to know are the rate and severity of all side effects, vs the rate and severity of possible diseases. Then an informed decision can be made.
Having no answer to that question is not acceptable.
Naysayers to this film have an almost religious faith in vaccines, and ignore the data points of harmed kids, and even the key data point of the documentary: a top scientist says they not only forged data, the data shows a connection between the vaccine and autism. The more scientific approach would be to include these key data points in building an overall perspective on the issue.
Don't rely on religion. Rely on science and logic.
Naysayers also seem to get caught up in what they've read or been told or read regarding Dr. Wakefield. For example, they will say he authored a study that claimed a link between MMR and Autism. They can't even get that right (but it's understandable, if you get your information solely from wikipedia.) The actual study -- yes you can read it -- states the opposite, that no link was proved. (Surprise!) (One should also note that the study was designed by 14 scientist, not one scientist with an agenda, and also that the data was not faked or forged, only the process was criticized.)
It's bizarre that mis-reported criticisms from a case series from twenty years ago should have any relevance to a current documentary on a CDC whistleblower, but that's what people do.
The documentary is eye-opening, hard to watch at times, shocking, and makes no scientific claims that haven't been vetted as true.
The beauty of the documentary is that it represents a turning point -- there will be many more to come, as concerned parents demand answers, real studies, and ultimately (in the very long run) individualized vaccines that can be given with confidence, rather than the current system of roulette, some percentage of children will be irrevocably harmed, but that's all right, because there will be too few to matter.
It's not too few to matter if it's your child.
