QUESTIONS FOR BMJ EDITORS:

1. Do the BMJ editors stand by their 6 Jan 2011

editorial " Wakefield’s article linking MMR vaccine and autism was

fraudulent " alleging Wakefield alone and unassisted

committed research fraud?

This relates to a 1998 Lancet medical journal " early

report " calling for more research into a finding of a new bowel

syndrome in children exhibiting autistic symptoms?

2. The editors claim " Wakefield altered numerous facts

about the patients’ medical histories in order to support his claim to

have identified a new syndrome " and base this substantially on a

comparison between early general family doctor records and what was

reported in The Lancet early report.

Do the BMJ editors dispute that:

it was impossible for that to be done by anyone as they have alleged

it could not have been done by Dr Wakefield

those experts carried out their own investigations afresh none of the other 12 expert specialist medical professionals at The

Royal Free Hospital London worked from or even saw those " patients’

medical histories "

Dr Wakefield faithfully reported the data and results provided by his

other 12 expert professional colleagues

3. If these matters are disputed, can the BMJ produce the data

and results provided to Dr Wakefield by his 12 colleagues and demonstrate

where The Lancet early report diverges.

4. If the editors cannot produce evidence, do they now retract

their editorial and the paper by Mr Deer upon which it is based and

which they also published.

5. Can the editors confirm that neither they nor Mr Deer had sight

of or access to the " prospective developmental records " of the

12 Lancet children [the " Red Books " ].

These were used as part of the basis for detailed clinical histories

investigating afresh early signs of disintegrative disorder.

6. Do the editors agree that family doctors would not have

considered " disintegrative disorder " nor looked for early

signs.

7. If the editors still stand by their story how do they account

for the fact that those 12 specialist expert medical professionals read

and reviewed the Lancet paper before submission for publication, approved

Wakefield's report of their work and put their names to the

paper.

8. Do the editors accept that by accusing Dr Wakefield of fraud

they are accusing all the other 12 experts.

9. Do the editors also accuse the authors of the following papers

of fraud for claiming to have found the same or a closely similar

condition in autistic patients:-

Balzola F, Barbon V, Repici A, Rizzetto M. Panenteric IBD-like

disease in a patient with regressive autism shown for the first time by

the wireless capsule enteroscopy: another piece in the jigsaw of this
