Sqad...forgive me but all that I have read rather backs up what I have said about Wakefield :::
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrew_Wakefield
As a result of his dishonesty ( the GMC's findings, not my opinion ) Wakefield is barred from practising as a physician in the UK, and is not licensed in the US.
The GMC panel ruled that Wakefield had "failed in his duties as a responsible consultant", acted both against the interests of his patients, and "dishonestly and irresponsibly" in his published research.
He has even been accused of wide-spread fraud, in that he intended to set up a new venture on the back of an MMR vaccination scare that would profit from new medical tests and "litigation driven testing"
But even now, as recently as February 2015, he publicly repeated his denials and refused to back down from his assertions, even though—as stated by a British Administrative Court Justice in a related decision—"there is now no respectable body of opinion which supports [Dr. Wakefield's] hypothesis, that MMR vaccine and autism/enterocolitis are causally linked.
Seems rather definite and damning to me ! The word twit seems rather mild against what the medical authorities have decided.
