Back in 1998, British gastroenterologist Andrew Wakefield published The Study That Started It All: 12 children he claimed had developed autism as a result of the MMR vaccine. Since then, that execrable “study” has been shown to have been an “elaborate fraud”, with findings faked to support Dr. Wakefield’s own patent application for a competing vaccine. He was also collecting payoffs from plaintiffs’ attorneys suing vaccine manufacturers. It was, simply, always about money. Now, a British gentleman who was the first plaintiff in a huge, failed class action lawsuit is suing his own attorneys—really, the attorneys hired by his family—for pursuing a claim based on bad science, bilking the British government out of millions of pounds. pediatricinsider.wordpress/2014/07/17/mmr-litigants-new-target-their-own-lawyers/
