Wakefield on his impending verdit from the GMC (Gross Monetary Corruption)

[Guest guest]

Why the vaccine lobby had to silence meA Statement from Dr Wakefield MB,BS., FRCS., FRCPathThe General Medical Council versus Dr Wakefield, Professor -, and Professor Murch.In a further effort to silence my concerns over vaccine safety, the UK’s General Medical Council [GMC] will erase mefrom the UK’s Medical Register on Monday May 24. My colleagues face the possibility of similar sanctions.In reporting their findings the GMC panel sought to deny that the case against me and my colleagues is related to issuesof MMR vaccine safety and specifically, the role of this vaccine in causing autism. This is not in fact the case. Efforts todiscredit and silence me through the GMC process have provided a screen to shield the government from exposure onthe Pluserix MMR vaccine scandal.Early in the course of the proceedings, GMC officials removed the appointed chairman Dr Kumar, a general practitionerfrom Merseyside. They appointed instead Professor Angus McDevitt from Dundee who had serious conflicts of interestin his role in the Pluserix MMR vaccine scandal. McDevitt was chosen even though he could not be considered animpartial, independent or objective GMC panel chairman.Pluserix MMR was introduced to the UK in October 1988 even though exactly the same vaccine supplied as “Trivirix”had already been withdrawn as unsafe from Canada in November 1987. It was later also withdrawn from the UK onseven days notice in September 1992 by Kline Pharmaceuticals acting on legal advice. It was unsafe and causedhigh levels of adverse reactions in children.It has emerged through a government whistleblower and secret documents that the government, knowing of thevaccine’s risks, protected the vaccine manufacturers from liability for damage. Pluserix MMR was rushed through thelicensing process without adequate safety testing. It appears to be the government that is now liable for compensationclaims from parents of Pluserix-damaged children. Freedom of Information documents confirm the first claims for legalaid were being made by parents as early as 1991, seven years before I published in The Lancet and raised publicconcerns about harm to children.This matter, which sparked the real MMR scare in the UK - in contrast with my response to parental fears - must beforced out into the open through a public inquiryIn 1988, McDevitt was part of a committee - the Committee on Adverse Reactions to Vaccination and Immunisation(ARVI). It was responsible for assessing the safety of MMR prior to its introduction in the UK. The ARVI committeefailed to adequately heed warnings from Canada about the dangers of the Pluserix MMR vaccine.McDevitt took part in ARVI meetings that discussed warnings about the dangerous Trivirix MMR vaccine, made by Kline Beecham, that was withdrawn in Canada for causing meningitis. At the same time, exactly the samevaccine was rebranded as Pluserix and licensed in the UK. The vaccine then had to be withdrawn in a dramatic volteface four years later when the rate of MMR-associated meningitis was found to be far higher than previously claimed.The full extent of other serious adverse reactions is not known publicly although attempts were made to ascertain thisby Jack MP in 1992.McDevitt was specifically brought in by the GMC to replace Kumar because of his vaccine expertise. When challengedon McDevitt’s appointment by my lawyers, the GMC initially resisted removing him from the panel despite the fact thathe had not disclosed his obvious conflict of interest. McDevitt has also received research grants from a large number ofdrug companies including manufacturers of the MMR vaccine.Media inquiries caused the GMC sufficient embarrassment that they were forced to remove McDevitt, and re-insertKumar. Kumar also had undisclosed conflicts, sitting on two medicine licensing authority committees and owningshares in GSK, manufacturers of Pluserix. Their current denial that the issue has anything to do with MMR vaccinesafety, should be viewed in the light of these facts.My book Callous Disregard, available on Amazon.com and at Callous-Disregard.com, exposes the scandal. The bookis not currently available in the UK. Press copies are available through Skyhorse Publishing, NY.Skyhorsepublshing.com Tel: 001 212 6436816 ext 236
