There are three rules to being a good honest professional when it comes
to vaccines and they are, a) See no evil, b) Hear
no evil, c) Speak no evil.
Break any one of these rules and you are on a slippery slope to professional
suicide. Not only will big pharma try to destroy you, so to, will every
newspaper known to man, your governing body and even your own friends and
colleagues. Play to the rules and you will become rich and successful. So
why is it that there are some professionals, who despite being discredited,
professionally dissected and left on the scrap heap by the medical
profession and their peers,still continue to speak out time and time again
against vaccines and the pharmaceutical companies who manufacture them?
In an article I read this morning
Catherine Bennett wrote:-
"The continuing resistance by a certain kind of mummy to vaccination is selfish, ignorant and downright dangerous"
She carried on writing a very biased, unbalanced piece of work, with no evidence supporting her claims. She continued:-
"Not until many non-vaccinations later, in 2004, did the Lancet admit that the Wakefield paper was "fatally flawed". At the same time, 10 of its doctor authors carefully retracted its "interpretation" of a possible link between autism and MMR. This followed Sunday Times journalist Brian Deer's demolition of Wakefield's methodology and his shocking discovery that the doctor had not disclosed two glaring conflicts of interest. Before recommending single vaccines to parents on the back of the Lancet paper, Wakefield had patented a single measles vaccine. The GMC has yet to conclude its investigation into his alleged misconduct."
This is when you have to step back from this biased and ill informed
piece and say hold it right there.
Firstly, Brian Deer from the Sunday Times, also, forgot to mention a few
conflicts of interest himself. No parent has ever complained about Dr Andrew
Wakefield, it was in fact Deer himself that made the complaint to the GMC
three days after he published his first article in the Sunday Times.
Secondly, Brian Deer's boss who commissioned his articles was none other
than Paul Nuki who is the son of Professor George Nuki who in 1987 sat on
the Committee on Safety of Medicines when the CSM was considering Glaxo
Smith Kline and French Laboratories MMR vaccine Pluserix for approval.
However, it caused very high levels of adverse reactions and was withdrawn
by the manufacturers on very little notice in late 1992 leaving the
Department of Health in an embarrassing position.
On the Child
Health Safety website it backs up this with evidence and carries on to
state:-
So while Catherine Bennett and the rest of the world say what a brilliant journalist Brian Deer is and what an awful doctor Dr Wakefield is and how his studies are flawed and how he is about to be struck off for professional misconduct it is always worth reading the other side to all this. Maybe readers may like to see Dr Wakefield's complaint about Mr Deer to the UK Press Complaints Committee and see the truth of what Brian Deer really did and how he conducts himself. How he, according to this complaint, appeared to deliberately twist the facts to try to damage Dr Andrew Wakefield. Catherine may be interested to know that Dr Wakefield's case has been almost completely proven, so he may in fact not be struck off at all."Large numbers of British children were injured and legal aid claims had already started from as early as 1990, six years before Wakefield became involved and contrary to The Sunday Times´ false claims that this was all a scam set up by Wakefield and solicitor Richard Barr."
Catherine Bennett was truly insulting of parents who have children who cannot be vaccinated through ill health or allergies Children with an allergy to egg are sometimes advised not to have the MMR vaccination because of the vaccines contents which includes very small traces of chick egg proteins, if they do have the vaccine, then doctors advise that they need to be monitored Children who also have a allergy to gelatin are advised not have the vaccine. However, many families may not know that these children have these allergies before vaccination. Ms Bennett was also insulting to all the Autistic children and their families who suffer daily, many of these became Autistic, like little Ben Zeller, as a direct result of the MMR vaccination.
However, Catherine's worst insult was to the amazing doctor who not only has had his career ruined by a peer of hers but has gone on to suffer years of suffering and humiliation. He lost his research funding, his professional credit and has been forced abroad to work. Professionals like Dr Wakefield are dwindling fast, many now discredited and financially ruined, having faced complaint after complaint to their governing bodies, professionals who have had their friends and peers turn their backs on them. These professionals have ignored the three rules golden rules to success, they are professionals who do see the truth, who do hear the cries and they are the professionals who have the guts to speak out and risk everything to do something about it. Long may professionals like Dr Andrew Wakefield, Lisa Blakemore-Brown Psychologist, Dr Jayne Donegan, Dr Andrew Moulden, Dr Peter Mansfield, Dr Sherri Tenpenny, Dr Rebecca Carly, Dr Mark Geier, Professor Gordon Stewart and Dr Harold Buttram fight on and continue to speak out about vaccines, adverse reactions and the children who suffer. They are not like the three wise monkeys because they speak the truth and are not afraid of the consequences.
