This was Compelling As Heck. Very well written, in a super accessible style (as one would expect from a successful investigative journalist) this is the Long Version of the story of Andrew Wakefield, the once-doctor who fabricated and captilised on fears that Vaccines caused autism-- launching the current era of anti-vax misinformation. Published before current pandemic, this was eerie & informative. #antivaxxers #medicine #malpractice #politics

ssleif Written by Brian Deer-- the UK journalist who unearthed much of the fraud after YEARS of working the story. I thought I knew most of the story, but there is So Much More than I knew. XD also, this was a Gripping read for me-- mainlined it in about t a day. 3y

Before reading this I wondered if Andrew Wakefield was just a bit misguided. I was wrong. The man is a despicable human being who has not only caused so much damage to the health of children and the wider community but has done so for his own gain. The man is not only a fraud but a conniving narcissist. Like so many truly evil people he has preyed on the vulnerable and continues to do so. It‘s a good read but the narrative is a bit choppy at times

This book talks about making decisions from medications, to surgeries, to end of life. It's got soulful patient stories, but also plenty of research. Review to come tomorrow. In the meantime, this quote.
