v rozhovore pre Mercolu (I know I know) tvrdi Wakefield toto:

“In 2004, I suddenly got this contact from a freelance journalist Brian Deer working on behalf of the Sunday Times making a whole series of allegations against me and my colleagues,” Dr. Wakefield says.

“In his opinion, these children did not need investigation. In his opinion, these children did not need a colonoscopy or a lumbar puncture or these other investigations that my clinical colleagues had deemed they most certainly did need.”

This is a journalist with no formal medical training whatsoever. It was just his opinion. But as a crafty wordsmith, he wove together a compelling tale of how Dr. Wakefield and his posse had rounded up autistic children for the purpose of creating a legal case against the vaccine manufacturers to bring about the downfall of the vaccine, in order to then launch his own vaccine onto the market.

It was a great story.

Too bad it wasn’t true.

Just for starters, had he done his homework, he would have realized the whole thing was impossible since the manufacturers were by then indemnified and couldn’t be sued anymore.

maly gedanked experiman
ak suhlasime s plausibilnou teoriou gut-brain connection, tak nie je nelogicke to co Wakefield tvrdi - ze u deti s velmi poskodenym metabolizmom moze byt ockovanie jeden z negativnych faktorov (kedze imunita tiez "sidli" v traviacom systeme)
na druhej strane je dost nestastne na zaklade tohto vytvarat vaccination-autism link, lebo cely problem je omnoho omnoho komplexnejsi

...Other studies have shown that autism is possibly an autoimmune disease of some kind (4). Only this one seems to work on susceptible developing brains, leading to the devastating consequences we are all too familiar with.

In the evolutionary medicine paradigm, autoimmune disorders are diseases of civilization, caused by our highly inflammatory diets and stressful lifestyles. And, indeed, this theory brings together the possible "bad guys" we've discussed already, gluten, casein (which may be a bad guy only in the context of gluten exposure also), and insufficient vitamin D. (Hat tip again to Jamie, who pointed out this study he saw first in a comment on Whole Health Source, where a high fiber diet seemed to reduce the plasma half-life of vitamin D. The fiber used in the study was wheat fiber.)
