Callous Disregard: Autism and Vaccines: The Truth Behind a Tragedy

As Andrew Wakefield states in his prologue, â€œIf autism does not affect your family now, it will. If something does not changeâ€”and change soonâ€”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 confrontationâ€”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 â€˜the systemâ€™ deals with dissent among its doctors and scientists.â€

In the pursuit of possible links between childhood vaccines, intestinal inflammation, and neurologic injury in children, Wakefield lost his job in Londonâ€™s Royal Free Hospital, his country of birth, his career, and his medical license. A recent General Medical Council ruling stated that he was â€œdishonest, irresponsible and showed callous disregard for the distress and pain of children.â€ 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.
