Callous Disregard

Autism and Vaccines - The Truth Behind a Tragedy

By: Andrew Wakefield

Narrated by: Gildart Jackson

Andrew Wakefield reveals the inside story of the vaccine-autism connection, and his controversial research.

As Andrew Wakefield states in his prologue, “If autism does not affect your family now, it will. If something does not change - and change soon - this is almost a mathematical certainty. This book affects you also. It is not a parochial look at a trivial medical spat in the United Kingdom, but dispatches from the battlefront in a major confrontation - a struggle against compromise in medicine, corruption of science, and a real and present threat to children in the interests of policy and profit. It is a story of how ‘the system’ deals with dissent among its doctors and scientists.”

In the pursuit of possible links between childhood vaccines, intestinal inflammation, and neurologic injury in children, Wakefield lost his job in London’s Royal Free Hospital, his country of birth, his career, and his medical license. A recent General Medical Council ruling stated that he was “dishonest, irresponsible and showed callous disregard for the distress and pain of children.” Maligned by the medical establishment and mainstream media, Wakefield endeavors to set the record straight in Callous Disregard. While explaining what really happened, he calls out the organizations and individuals that are acting not for the sake of children affected by autism, but in their own self-interests.

Great Read

Being the parent of a 27 year old on the spectrum I have known his story a very long time. I believe Dr Wakefield’s desire to help is far more important than putting a lid on the connection. Dr W, I love how you compared yourself to Ralph Nador!!! BTW, you share your birthday with my 27 year old!!! I call that a GREAT OMEN!

Truth is coming and there is finally someone here in America that is going to see it gets delivered. You need to get in touch with RFK Jr. You two would be dynamos!!!!

Andrew Wakefield is a hero.

Anyone who has ever heard of Wakefield or the ‘Lancet 12’ MUST read this book. This book goes into great detail about the study and the trial by the GMC.

Eye opening account re: Mmr / autism report

I enjoyed listening to Wakefields account of this issue. Addressing each false accusation got a little old but I understand why he addressed each one. Worth the read!

Critical

This book is critical when it comes to vaccines and you should be a must read by everyone

Excellent!

If you are curious of what actually happened to Andrew Wakefield, this is the book for you. It provides great insight into the corruption of certain aspects in medicine.
