Jenny Allan,
So it WAS you! I think you must remember that you and I have had disagreements on here before after I tried to tell the facts about the life-threateningly violent persecution I have experienced for the last forty years at least. Several refused to believe me, which is a bit rich on this website where almost no-one has been believed that their children have been vaccine injured, and I try to take your side. I was told, in effect, that I didn't belong here because I'm a vaccine injured adult, and you would only stand alongside "parents" and I asked, "So where does that leave Andy Wakefield?" So you don't need to say They might come for me next, they already have, and still are. I have no support, and no protection because, unlike Dr. Wakefield I'm not in the public eye. He himself said the CDC whistleblower's life was at risk until he was "outed", yet no-one here makes any attempt to protect me and my sons.

Happy Birthday Dr. Wakefield. In my opinion you are one of the true heroes in our battle to save our children and I would love to see you get a Noble Prize.

Happy birthday Dr. Wakefield ! Thank you for being a man of courage and resolve. Thank you for fighting for our Sam who will be 14 in a few weeks and became nonverbal at 18 months. God bless you!

Happy Birthday, Dr Wakefield. A truly honourable man.

I hope I live long enough to see you vindicated in the mainstream media. It will happen one day.

Happy Birthday Dr Wakefield

As they say Birthdays are good for you ,the people who have the most live the longest..

Hope you had a nice day.

Pharma For Prison

MMR RIP

There are not many good things about autism, but I would put in the list, A. That it took me down the path that taught me to save myself from American dental destruction (mercury poisoning) and B. it enabled me to retrieve my husband from Alzheimers Disease and C. that I could feel close to those high souls such as Dr. Andrew Wakefield . Happy Birthday Dr. Wakefield ! - name engraved on the white marble wall of the museum of Autism - Cherry Misra

Thanks Kim but I cannot find it in my heart to condemn scientists and clinicians threatened with the loss of their livelihoods and reputations, for caving in to the enormous pressure put on them, by powerful government agencies, and pharmaceutical companies.

"If his colleagues had a smidgen of his courage, the autism epidemic may have been halted years ago."

Sorry -I cannot agree with this. My Grandson was under the care of Royal Free Clinicians Professors John Walker-Smith and Simon Murch, both of whom stood in the GMC 'dock' with Dr Wakefield under trumped up charges of 'conspiracy' to inflict unnecessary invasive procedures on children in order to conduct research, rather than clinical need. I cannot fault my Grandson's care which almost certainly saved his colon if not his life. We have always been certain the MMR vaccine was to blame. Proper ethical permission was obtained beforehand to obtain 2 extra samples for research. Parents had the option of refusal; their children would still have received the hiighest standards of care. All 3 doctors were found guilty, but Professor Murch was permitted to keep his licence, being junior to Professor Walker-Smith.

It's not widely known in the UK and US, but doctors under threat of GMC disciplinary action can surrender their licences to practice medicine voluntarily, with no further actions taken. It took enormous courage for Professor Walker-Smith, who had already retired as a clinician and in frail health, to subject himself to 3 years of a GMC 'Kangaroo Court'. He described the stainless steel fitted chamber as a 'torture chamber' in his memoir. Two years later in the London High Court Professor Walker Smith was completely exonerated by Lord Justice Mitting, with some harsh words for the GMC. Professor Murch, was left in a kind of 'no man's land' limbo. I pray his career did not suffer too much. His clinical care of my Grandson was exemplary.

One of the pathologist co-authors of the Lancet early report, wrote to the British Medical Journal, following a Brian Deer BMJ 'hatchet job' on the pathology. Editor Fiona Godlee, who long ago surrendered her own medical licence, then attempted to smear all 13 Lancet authors, in an attempt to have all scientific research papers with Dr Wakefield's name on them withdrawn. She got nowhere. University College London, which includes the Royal Free and several other hospitals in its portfolio had had enough.

The position with Dr Wakefield is very different, since his contract precluded him from clinical contact with patients. His position at the Royal Free was purely as a researcher and the GMC, could not normally be involved with disciplinary action against him. Research misconduct is dealt with by another separate organisation in the UK. This was the reason for dragging the two clinicians before the GMC, charged with conspiracy, in order to 'snare' Dr Wakefield.

There are plenty of persons to blame, Prime Minister Tony Blair (suspected of getting single measles, mumps and rubella jabs for baby son Leo), Government Medical Secretary John Reid (now lord), Professor and David Salisbury, in charge of immunisations. I'm sure John Stone can supply more. I am not blaming Brian Deer, but rather those who employed this dispicable man as an 'attack dog'. The BMJ quite ridiculously published several articles by Deer, a man with NO medical or scientific qualifications whatsoever

Dr Wakefield. Have a very happy birthday. History will record you as one of the 'good guys'.

Blessings.
