Andrew Wakefield in The Pathological Optimist (2017)
In the center of the recent Tribeca Film Festival scandal surrounding his film VAXXED: From Cover-up to Controversy stands Andrew Wakefield, discredited and stripped of his medical license for his infamous study suggesting a link between the MMR vaccine, bowel disease, and autism. THE PATHOLOGICAL OPTIMIST takes us into the inner sanctum of Wakefield and his family from 2011- 2016 as he fights for his day in court in a little known defamation case against the British Medical Journal. Wakefield attempts to clear his name as the media-appointed Father of the Anti-vaccine movement. Director Miranda Bailey weaves a delicate portrait of a man who is THE PATHOLOGICAL OPTIMIST utilizing a never-before-seen, full access look at the man at the center of one of the biggest medical and media controversies of our times.

    Not a documentary, more of a puff piece

    Wakefield is given all the space in the world to garner sympathy and espouse his unscientific ideas without anything close to resembling an examination from this woefully poor filmmaker. Don't waste your time on this tripe.

    Thoughtful and interesting.

    Having always felt really uncomfortable with the mass hysteria that follows Wakefield it's good to see a movie that at least puts some of the other side over. If he had an incentive to make his (the group's) research come to an answer where he might profit, the other side does times about a 1000. A great film to counterbalance the stifling of a rounded debate, not helped by universities denying Wakefield access to state case.

    Definite must see

    SO disappointed in DiNero and Tribeca for caving into pressures to quash Wakefield's story

    Are you brainwashed?

    Popular folklore suggests that the people of North Korea were so successfully brainwashed that they believe that Kim Jong Un's father, when he was leader, beat Tiger Woods at a round of golf - including several 'hole-in-ones'. Whether the North Korean's fell for this story or not is hardly the point. The big questions are "Are you brainwashed?", "Why are you brainwashed?" and, "Who benefits from my brainwashing?".

    It would surprise many to be told that the brainwashing inflicted on the West is far worse than that inflicted on the North Koreans. It can be very harmful to those unable to see the damage being done, and especially harmful to the career of anyone who dares to speak out.

    The Pathological Optimist is one such story.

    8/10

    NOT A Documentary

    This is a puff piece intended to allow Wakefield and his dreadful wife to drone on about how poorly he was treated.

    There is NOTHING new here to add to what is already known.

    A quick web search confirms that :

    • he created a fraudulent paper, tying vaccinations to autism


    • that fraud has led to a very significant drop in vaccinations worldwide and thousands or likely millions of unnecessary deaths as a result


    • he had undisclosed financial reasons for lying about vaccinations and he should be jailed for the deaths and harm he has caused


    Special shoutouts to Jenny McCarthy and Oprah for assisting him in killing all of those people.

    Yes, Oprah, that TV demi god. She helped to kill millions of people. Sweet, eh?
