More InfoBritish Medical Journal, Deer and Fiona Godley   Wakefield filed a defamation lawsuit yesterday in County, Texas (Austin) against freelance reporter Deer, the British Medical Journal (BMJ) and Fiona Godley, editor of the BMJ.

  Last year the BMJ published a story

written by Deer and edited by Godley that accused Wakefield of falsifying data in a 1998 paper that hypothesized an association between a new type of bowel disease, autism and the measles, mumps

and rubella vaccine.  Wakefield and , the most respected pediatric gastroenterologist in Britain at the time, who co-authored the paper, had their medical licenses suspended for their refusal to recant their hypothesis.
