BREAKING NEWS: Statement From Dr. Wakefield: No Fraud. No

Hoax. No Profit Motive.

BREAKING NEWS: Statement From Dr. Wakefield: No

Fraud. No Hoax. No Profit

Motive.

AUSTIN, Texas, Jan. 13, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Dr.

Wakefield issued the following statement today on the recent

British Medical Journal articles:

" The British Medical Journal and reporter Deer recently

alleged that my 1998 research paper was 'a hoax' and 'an elaborate fraud'

and that my motivation was profit.

" I want to make one thing crystal clear for the record – my research

and the serious medical problems found in those children were not a hoax

and there was no fraud whatsoever. Nor did I seek to profit from our

findings.

" I stand by the Lancet paper's methodology and the results which

call for more

research

into whether environmental triggers cause gastrointestinal

disease and developmental regression in children. In fact, despite media

reports to the contrary, the results of my research have been duplicated

in five other countries (to see citations to studies, visit

" It is not unexpected to see poor reporting and misinformation

coming from Deer, the lead reporter of the recent BMJ coverage. But

to see coverage in other media that cites Deer's shoddy journalism in the

BMJ as a final justification to claim there is no link between vaccines

and autism is ludicrous. The MMR is only one vaccine of the eleven

vaccinations on the pediatric schedule that has been studied for causing

developmental problems such as autism. That is fact, not opinion. Any

medical professional, government official or journalist who states that

the case is closed on whether vaccines cause autism is jumping to

conclusions without the research to back it up.

" I continue to fully support more independent research to determine

if environmental triggers, including vaccines, are causing autism and

other developmental problems. The current rate of autism is 1 in 110

children in the United States and 1 in 64 children in the U.K. My goal

has always been and will remain the health and safety of children. Since

the Lancet paper, I have lost my job, my career and my country. To claim

that my motivation was profit is patently untrue. I will not be deterred

- this issue is far too important. "
