Silenced Witnesses

In July 2007 the General Medical Council, the regulatory body for

doctors in Britain, began a ‘trial’ of Dr Andrew Wakefield, Professor

John Walker-Smith and Professor Simon Murch. The three doctors

were charged under some seventy headings after having published

the conclusion of research and clinical practice that suggested a link

between the MMR vaccine, bowel disease and regressive autism in

some children.

 

The hearing was ordered by the New Labour government and the

single complainant was a pro-MMR Sunday Times journalist. The GMC

took almost four years to produce the evidence and the hearing itself

is expected to last around two years, making it one of the longest

quasi-legal proceedings in British history.

 

The parents of MMR vaccine damaged children who all support the

three doctors, have not been allowed a voice in the GMC hearing

because their complaint on behalf of their children is against the

pharmaceutical companies, the New Labour government and the

medical establishment. This book is written almost entirely by these

parents and for the first time it gives voice to the injustice that has

been done to them and their children.
