es-conclusion. htmlThe longest and most complex disciplinary hearing ever held

by the General Medical Council will reach a conclusion on Friday.Dr

Wakefield, the gastroenterologist who in 1998 raised the possibility of a link

between autism, bowel disease and the MMR jab, will learn whether he has been

found guilty of ethical breaches in research methods.Since June 2007, Dr

Wakefield and two colleagues have faced an unprecedented inquisition that has

cost in excess of £1million. The verdict has been postponed four times.While Dr

Wakefield, 52, believes the GMC should vindicate his professional reputation, in

an exclusive interview with The Mail on Sunday he said he fears a ‘political’

verdict.‘My lawyers feel confident that we have answered all the charges against

us,’ he said from his home in Austin, Texas. ‘If there’s any justice, we should

be cleared. However, there’s the political backlash to consider. I fear the GMC

will want to make an example of us.‘The issue was not about me, but about how to

crush dissent. I scare the establishment because I care and I am diligent. I

think they’re terrified because they’ve not done adequate safety studies. I’ve

been treated in the standard way in which people who raise these kinds of

questions are treated.‘It’s extremely challenging, but if I fail to stand up to

the bullies, the price to be paid is enormous.’[Non-text portions of this
