BMJ had secret financial ties to Merck during publication of articles

attacking Wakefield

(NaturalNews) When a corrupt medical group wants to discourage dissidence

from within, it targets a high profile figure to disgrace. This

intimidates others from doing the right thing if it disrupts the lies and

profits of Big Pharma.

Dr. Wakefield was a high profile scapegoat, smeared with lies from

the media and medical journals to protect the UK from vaccine injury

payouts while maintaining high profits for the vaccine industry.

Dr. Wakefield's Research

Dr. Wakefield arrived at Royal Free Hospital in London to coordinate

and record research that had already started for seven children. This

number increased to twelve and consequently was called the Wakefield 12

two years later. The gastroenterology treatments and study had started on

the original seven and was headed by Dr. -.

Parents of those twelve children took them to the Royal Free Hospital

because of its reputation for Pediatric Gastroenterology. Their family

doctors had failed to diagnose and/or treat their kids. The kids were

suffering terribly from bowel disorders and exhibiting autistic behavior,

pushing the parents to the limit. These were not mere tummy aches and

diarrhea.

After Dr. Wakefield joined them, he published his findings in a paper for

the 1998 British medical journal Lancet. A few years later,

Wakefield's Lancet paper's conclusion was intentionally twisted by

journalist Deer in order to launch a government/vaccine industry

attack on doctors Wakefield and -.

Claims that Dr. Wakefield and his team concluded that MMR vaccinations

are totally responsible for autism are completely inaccurate.

Wakefield's Lancet paper simply advised that measles,

mumps, and rubella vaccinations should be done separately instead of all

at once until further research is done on the safety of MMRs.

The parents had voluntarily mentioned that their children's unusual

and intense bowel disorders as well as autistic behaviors occurred

shortly or immediately after the kids received their MMR vaccination. Dr.

Wakefield simply included the parents observations in his Lancet

report.

Dr. Wakefield also included the medical fact that the same viral strain

of measles was found in all of the children's intestinal tracts in his

journal report. These discoveries were made after the MMR (measles,

mumps, rubella) shots were given to those twelve children and their

symptoms were apparent.

Wakefield's Published Findings Confirmed by Others

The viral measles discovered by the Wakefield/- team of

doctors were not wild virus measles. They were of the type prepared for

MMR vaccines. Recently, even the London Mail reported similar results

from other studies of children with autistic behaviors and strange,

severe bowel disorders.

One study was in Dublin, Ireland in 2001. The other report was from

Wake Forest Medical School in the USA in 2010. In the USA study, 70 out

of 82 autistic children were found with the same unusual bowel disorder,

autistic enterocolitis, and the same non-wild measles strain.

You'd think this would create a public vindication and restore Doctors

Wakefield and -'s right to practice medicine in the UK. But it

hasn't. That's the tragedy. The vaccine industry/government conspiracy

succeeded.

The Point Man for the Conspiracy Against Wakefield and

-

Deer is a self professed independent investigative journalist.

He is not independent, according to Age of Autism He has over a

decade's history of working for different vaccine industry front groups,

both in America and Great Britain. And he doesn't really investigate. It

appears he fabricates.

Yet, he is the author of articles condemning the Wakefield Lancet

1998 paper, publishing in both the London Sunday Times and the

British Medical Journal (BMJ) starting in 2004 and continuing into

2010. Deer also filed a formal complaint to the GMC (General

Medical Council), the group responsible for medical licensing in the

UK.

Not one of the parents filed any complaints anywhere. They all praised

the Wakefield/- team for the understanding and relief that

medical team had provided. But they complained bitterly about being

denied their testimony on the Wakefield/- team's defense in

the GMC hearings, which Deer attended daily for several

weeks.

The Lancet was compelled to publically retract Wakefield's

paper. The GMC removed both Doctors Wakefield and - from

medical practice in 2010. The BMJ and Deer defend their lies to

this day by accusing Wakefield of lying. Screaming sensationalism seems

to get the mainstream media's attention over calmly delivered

facts.

For more on Deer's nasty aggressive manner against the Wakefield 12

children's parents, who speak their version of events, see the short

version of the documentary " Selective Hearing " here:

http://naturalnews.tv/v.asp?v=B04E6...

The full documentary is viewable from the sources section below. It is

compelling.

So how does one sociopath vaccine industry shill hack journalist manage

to pull this off? He was supported by friends in high places.

Big Pharma's Vaccine Hit List

The pharmaceutical industry has hit lists, and apparently is

one of their hit men to stir up trouble with the help of vaccine industry

supporting medical journals and public media publications. A lawyer in an

Australian class action suit against Merck's Vioxx spoke of threats from

Merck to intimidate critics or cut off research funding.

The attorney read the following from a Merck internal memo: " We may

need to seek them out and destroy them where they live. " There was

also memo content that mentioned " neutralizing or discrediting "

doctors who spoke out against them. Merck is a major provider of MMR

vaccines in the UK and USA.

Following the Money

High Court Judge Sir Nigel wouldn't permit parents who wanted

to testify on Wakefield's behalf. Nigel's brother is a board member of

the publishers of the Lancet who is also on the Board of

GlaxoKline (GSK). GSK is a pharmaceutical giant also heavily

involved in vaccine manufacturing.

GSK now has Murdoch on its Board. He's the son of Rupert Murdoch

and editor of the Sunday Times . This was Deer's first platform to

launch attacks on Wakefield. The Murdoch family has strong financial

interests with GSK.

Deer used Medico-Legal Investigations to gather information for his evil

spin. This private company seems to be a front group for Big Pharma,

since their only source of funding is the Association of the British

Pharmaceutical Industry.

Reuters is a news agency rivaling the Associated Press (AP). The head of

Reuters is a Merck Board member. Miriam Stoppared's husband,

Hogg, was Chairman of GSK in 2004. Miriam is feature writer for the

Daily Mirror.

Dr. Kumar, the chairman of the GMC Fitness to Practice Panel that

ruled against Wakefield would not answer questions about his known GSK

holdings. He declared that there is no such thing as vaccine damage and

parents who claimed such should be treated with scorn.

There have been allegations of financial connections between Merck and

BMJ and its editor Dr. Fiona Godlee. It's certain Merck funds award to

BMJ's selected MDs and researchers. Both the BMJ and Lancet

journals serve as advertising forums for Merck and

GlaxoKline.

Meanwhile the UK medical system, which is completely supported by

government financing, can breathe a sigh of relief for not having to be

held liable for vaccine injury complaints by parents of MMR shots or

other vaccinations.

After all, purchased and promoted vaccines are already paid for. They

don't want them to go to waste. And no need to add the expense of

awarding compensation for vaccine injury if it's been declared they don't

exist.

Regarding the Wakefield case, Fiona Godlee recently announced: " Many

other medical frauds have been exposed but usually more quickly after

publication and on less important health issues. "

Really? How important is childhood measles or mumps?

What is important is evidence from several international sources have

determined a causal link to unusual bowed disorders and autistic

behavior. The real fraud is denying this research. The real crime is

profiting heavily while causing enormous suffering for millions of

children and their parents.
