Callous Disregard: Autism and Vaccines: The Truth Behind a Tragedy
As Andrew Wakefield states in his prologue, “If autism does not affect your family now, it will. If something does not change—and change soon—this is almost a mathematical certainty. This book affects you also. It is not a parochial look at a trivial medical spat in the United Kingdom, but dispatches from the battlefront in a major confrontation—a...more

English physician Andrew Wakefield's research showed a link between the MMR vaccine, bowel problems and potentially autism. As a result he lost his license to practice medicine in England. This book tells his side of the story, declaring how government defends the pharmaceutical industry over children.

I was able to see Dr. Wakefield speak last week and bought the book at the event. I'm glad that he is still out there working for the truth over established norms.
Vaccines are meant to cause an extreme reaction in the body; that's just how they work. I'm interested to see how he lays out his conclusions and how he was railroaded by the British Medical Board. After seeing his presentation I am already convinced he was railroaded.

The book is great for setting the record straight. Now I need to read "that paper".
Very fascinating and sad at the same time. Still gathering my thoughts.
