" Justice Mitting ruled on the appeal by -, saying

that the GMC “panel’s determination cannot stand. I therefore quash it.”

He said that its conclusions were based on “inadequate and superficial

reasoning and, in a number of instances, a wrong conclusion.”

Wakefield's Co-Author Completely Exonerated

In a stunning reversal, world renowned pediatric gastroenterologist Prof.

- won his appeal today against the United Kingdom’s

General Medical Council regulatory board that had ruled against both him

and Wakefield for their roles in the 1998 Lancet MMR paper, which

raised questions about a link to autism. The complete victory means that

- has been returned to the status of a fully licensed

physician in the UK, although he had already retired in 2001 ­ six years

before the GMC trial even began.

Justice Mitting ruled on the appeal by -, saying that the

GMC “panel’s determination cannot stand. I therefore quash it.” He said

that its conclusions were based on “inadequate and superficial reasoning

and, in a number of instances, a wrong conclusion.” The verdict restores

-’s name to the medical register and his reputation to the

medical community. This conclusion is not surprising, as the GMC trial

had no actual complainants, no harm came to the children who were

studied, and parents supported - and Wakefield through the

trial, reporting that their children had medically benefited from the

treatment they received at the Royal Free Hospital.

While - received funding to appeal the GMC decision from

his insurance carrier, his co-author Wakefield did not ­ and was

therefore unable to mount an appeal in the high court. This year,

however, Dr. Wakefield, who now conducts his research in the US, has

filed a defamation lawsuit against Deer, Fiona Godlee and the

British Medical Journal for falsely accusing him of “fraud.” The suit is

currently underway in Texas, where Wakefield now lives. The ruling today

bodes well for Dr. Wakefield’s suit against Deer, on whose reporting the

entire GMC hearing was based.

In 1998 the Lancet published a case series on twelve children receiving

treatment for bowel dysfunction at the Royal Free Hospital in London. The

paper called for further study of a possible association between bowel

disease and developmental delay, including cases of autism. It also noted

that eight of the children’s gastrointestinal and autistic symptoms began

shortly after they received the MMR vaccination. The verdict today raises

questions about whether or not the Lancet should have retracted the paper

after the GMC decision, as the reasons for its retraction have now been

contradicted by the judge’s decision.

The thirteen original co-authors of the 1998 Lancet case series were

members of the Royal Free’s Inflammatory Bowel Disease Study Group. In

2004, under pressure from the British medical establishment, ten of the

co-authors signed a letter retracting an interpretation of the paper that

it proved that vaccines caused autism, which the paper never actually

claimed in the first place. -, Wakefield and Dr.

Simon Murch were subsequently brought up on misconduct charges before the

GMC. The proceedings resulted in - and Wakefield being found

guilty and being “struck off” the medical register, while Dr. Murch

retained his status as a physician. Wakefield was then vilified by

corporate media and by bloggers eager to repeat scandal and engage in

industry protectionism, rather than investigate the complicated facts of

the story.

Today, almost 14 years after the paper was published, the high court

determined that - was innocent of the wrongdoing alleged

by the GMC. Judge Mitting reported that the GMC, “on the basis of

sensible instructions, does not invite me to remit it to a fresh Fitness

to Practice panel for redetermination. The end result is that the finding

of serious professional misconduct and the sanction of erasure are both

quashed.”

British parents from the group CryShame, which includes parents of the

Lancet 12, issued a statement saying that they “welcome with immense

relief the end of the eight year ordeal of Prof - and the

quashing of all substantive charges against him in the High Court, and

wish him their heartfelt congratulations at finally clearing his

name.”

“Though justice has finally prevailed for Prof. -, the damage

done to him and his colleagues has been incalculable,” said Mark Blaxill,

chairman of the Canary Party. “The UK government must investigate the

corruption in the GMC, which has severely damaged the reputations of

good, honest doctors. Most of all, it’s outrageous that Dr.

Wakefield has been vilified by government officials, vaccine

manufacturers and physician organizations, and that the media has

accepted these unfounded accusations uncritically.”

“It’s time that we started treating responsible parents as reliable

witnesses to serious adverse reactions to medical procedures such as

vaccination,” said Larson, president of the Canary Party. “The

work that - and his colleagues at the Royal Free Hospital did

with the Lancet 12 was medically necessary and above reproach. No patient

complained, and the charges against the Royal Free team came only from a

freelance journalist writing for a Rupert Murdoch newspaper. Meanwhile,

the findings reported in the Lancet paper have been replicated in

numerous scientific publications and reported by thousands of parents all

over the world.”

“It is quite obvious to me that Murdoch, Deer and

GlaxoKline orchestrated the smear attack on Dr. Wakefield,”

said Ginger , executive director of the Canary Party. “A judge has

now ruled that the GMC hearings were a farce. Parents are waiting for

journalists to find their spine and start some honest reporting on the

character assassination of doctors that is blocking medical treatments

for vaccine injured children, and the role that GSK and Merck may be

playing to protect their profits on the MMR vaccine. The Canary Party

honors and stands by doctors of integrity like Prof. -, who

continue to fight and defend their hard-won reputations for going the

extra mile to investigate and improve the chronic, difficult-to-treat

cases that now permeate our society.”
