Dr. Andrew Wakefield - Part One

Some of the best words to describe Andrew Wakefield can be liar, grifter, sociopath, arrogant and dangerous.

His goal in life was fame, fortune and a Nobel Prize.

He tried to convince the world that vaccines caused autism.

He started the antivax movement that still has disastrous consequences to this very day.

Brian Deer's book provided me with much of the material used in this podcast.
