I believe Dr. wakefield. Lets face it, someone in the governements position with such authority and leadership would have to pay millions in compensation if they were wrong. Who would admit to being responsible for damaging, injuring some millions of children because of a lack of research, carelessness.

I have a son who is Autistic, I’m not amused. May God almight let the truth be known.

Nigel, I am very moved by your efforts on behalf of your brothers—my son is an only child and he does not have any siblings to advocate for him as you are doing. But I do think that concerns like those HCN raised need to be addressed and responded to even as parents and families advocate for ways to help autistic persons, like your brothers and my son. Thank you very much.

Nigel, would you mind answering the question I posed elsewhere?

The MMR in question was approved for use in the USA in 1971. It was approved for use in the UK in 1988 (due to the fact that the Merck MMR has a much safer mumps component). Why is it in the over thirty years of existence this MMR vaccine has only been a problem over twenty since its creation?

Firstly, I’m a brother and not a parent. Secondly, I wrote the petition to highlight the suffering of my two little brothers, and their experiences. They are in almost constant pain. The money used for this trial could have been spent treating them and some of the many thousands of other children who have similar conditions.

You’re quite right that parents don’t have a choice – the single vaccines were withdrawn. Neither do GP’s who are paid bonuses for giving the MMR.

Leaving out eating metaphors, I just want to see my brothers PROPERLY investigated and TREATED.

All the best,

Nigel.

The petition is from a brother and concerned parents of sick children and doctors. You should read all the comments. A little information on duplications and people leaving their names off.
Fortunately the facilities offered by the petition site are a little more sophisticated than to allow duplications to be a problem. Duplications occasionally occur as people enter their names and comments but these are checked and deleted regularly. A final, and very thorough, check will be made before the petition is presented. ALL of the anonymous entries are identifiable by those of us monitoring the petition as ALL petitioners (whether anonymous or not) are required to provide their email address, which is visible to us but is not visible publicly. These will be made available and visible to the GMC panel (under the guidelines of the site providers) when the petition is presented to them. At this stage ALL entries will be identifiable as unique. Also note that many people have signed on behalf of entire families and in some instances entire companies We are not talking about all autism but a ’sub-set’ group of very sick children who were damaged by the MMR vaccine and there is treatment that can help them. To have this treatment it has to be acknowledged the damaged done. Doctors are now too frightened to treat our children properly because of the harm one journlist had done without looking at all the facts.
The three doctors on trial were the only doctors to listen to the children, and parents and the only doctors to help the children. I was part of the MMR litigation and have the expert reports from both sides. I am not allowed to make these public or the drug trials but I can tell you that win or loose the government and drug companies did not want this information out.

Some parents take the first food offered. Some others search for nutritious evidence based meals. Then there are those who drink the Neurodiversity Kool-Aid.
