sir, did you not have a financial interest, though? did you disclose you were being paid by a law firm? i disclosed in the relevant paper that i was an expert in mmr vaccine litigation. yes. you didn t disclose you were being paid, though, for a possible lawsuit against the vaccine makers, that you had were developing a patent for an alternate vaccine. the purpose of this paper was nothing to do with the litigation. these children were seen on the basis of their clinical symptoms for their clinical need and they were seen by expert clinicians and their disease diagnosed by them, not by me. sir, you re attack the motives of a journalist, though, and others who oppose you and yet you re you yourself have a financial stake in the research that you were doing. no, i didn t. the grant that was given was not given to me, it was given to the medical school to conduct a research program. not to me personally. if your research was not a fraud, if your research was valid, why h ....
Give them in different schedules. could there be something new that s possibly causing this uptick in autism. and i think the question is going to remain out there, despite what s happened today. you know, the smallpox vaccine when it was given, it causes an immune response to the body. it was a really profound immune response. more powerful than all the vaccines we give today, yet autism rates are higher now. so why wasn t it happening when we gave these really, really powerful vaccines so many years ago? the report out today by this journalist, deere, it indicates he had a wakefield had a financial motive. what was the financial motive? a couple things. one, he had filed a patent application for an alternate measles vaccine several months before the paper came out. which he did not disclose at the time. it was precisely the vaccine that you would have wanted if you stopped using the three in one mmr vaccine. it was just for measles. so that s one very obvious thing. he also was ....
Around the world. sir, that s not true. you ve been offered the chance to replicate your study and you ve never taken anybody up on that. you ve had plenty of opportunity to replicate your study. you just accused me of giving you a falsehood. i am telling you this work has been replicated in five countries around the world. then why has it been completely discredited from health officials around the world? i suggest you to your investigation properly before making such allegations. okay? if you look up the name gonzales, if you look up creeksman, you will see the work has been replicated independently by other doctors around the worrell. they fail to mention that in these allegations and deere has not mentioned that at any time s that honest? deere says patients were recruited through anti-mmr campaigners and your study was funded for planned litigation. you did have a lawsuit against manufacturers of the mmr vaccine, didn t you? didn t you have a financial conflict of intere ....
Have you answer questions. brian deere has talked to the parents has talked to the parents of the patients who were in your original study and he discovered that not one of the 12 cases you claim to have studied was free of, quote, misrepresentation or alteration. in no single case could the medical records be fully reconciled with the descriptions, diagnoses or histories published in the journal. some of the parents in your original study say what you claimed about their kids medical histories was not true. are those parents now lying? that is false. he has not interviewed the parents. that is absolutely not true. so you re saying no parents say that what you ve said about their children s medical histories is false? no, they don t. what i have said and what has been reported in that paper by me and my colleagues is exactly what we saw. i want to read you some of the other specifics from the report. three of nine children reported with regressive autism according to mr. dee ....
Companies, researchers around the world, it would be the most brilliant conspiracy that had ever been hatched, and andrew wakefield s setting himself up as this one renegade or this band of renegades sort of fighting against this is i think laughable. sanjay, does he have any credibility? i think this is a pretty big deal what s happened today. but he hasn t had really credibility within the scientific world for some time. as you ve pointed out, he s been stripped of his medical license, the paper has been retracted, the co-authors all essentially left the paper. there is so much distrust of big pharmaceutical companies, a lot of people watching this will say we re all in the pockets of big phrma or that there is this conspiracy. that s what i was going to say. i don t know it s going to change people who are still going to be very concerned about vaccines. and the reality is if we had a great answer as to what causes autism, i think that would change this debate altogether. bu ....
