?I'm so glad Andy Wakefield finally has the chance to tell his
story. . . . For hundreds of thousands of parents around the world,
myself included, Andy Wakefield is a symbol of strength and
conviction that all parents of children with autism can use to
fight for truth and the best lives possible for their kids.? ?Jenny
McCarthy
?Dr. Wakefield sets the record straight. It was not he who showed
callous disregard towards vulnerable, sick children with autism. It
was the British medical establishment, the General Medical Council,
the media and the pharmaceutical industry that threw the children
under the bus to protect the vaccine program. This is a book for
everyone who cares about our future.? ?Mary Holland, Esq.,
cofounder, Elizabeth Birt Center for Autism Law and Advocacy
?Andrew Wakefield has been subjected to extraordinary criticism and
condemnation from professional colleagues and the wider community
since he first questioned the safety of the MMR vaccine. In this
book he answers his critics?powerfully and comprehensively?and sets
the record straight. It is essential reading for anyone wanting to
know the truth behind the MMR debate and the politics of
vaccination policy.? ?Dr. Richard Halvorsen, author of The Truth
about Vaccines
?As a mother of a boy who regressed into autism immediately
following his MMR vaccination, I welcome this book unreservedly . .
. Whatever your thoughts on the issue, if you read nothing else at
all on the vaccine-autism debate, this has to be the most crucial
book you read.? ?Polly Tommey, editor of The Autism File
?Meeting Dr. Andy Wakefield changed our lives and . . . we are
forever grateful. His wise and measured advice about vaccinations
helped us dodge a bullet . . . Our fourth son [had] multiple
allergies and repeated infections . . . We now fully realize [he]
would have been a victim of immune overload had we followed the
regular vaccine schedule. . . . [He] is [now] bright and healthy .
. . This book provides a terrifying insight into what has been
happening behind the scenes as efforts redouble to silence Dr.
Wakefield . . . It is a wake-up call to those who think [he] is
anything other than a modern day hero fighting for all of our
children.? ?Robert Rodriguez and Elizabeth Avellan, Troublemaker
