This week we have a real treat for you – an interview with Brian Deer, the journalist who more than anyone showed the world how fraudulent Andrew Wakefield was when he claimed that there could be a link between the MMR vaccine and autism (spoiler – there isn’t).

@ben_crowell_fullerton it’s shameful how the bad science around #Thimerosal was politicized. It’s still a factor 25 years later. I personally argued with #AndrewWakefield once. I had California data he was misconstruing and he threatened to sue me over releasing it. Horrible human being.

It was also an eye opener that the Hasidic community in New York were a hotbed of vaccine denial.

Remember Andrew Wakefield and his retracted study that the MMR vaccine can cause autism? Brian Deer, the journalist who exposed it has now written a book on it. Here's a review.

"In 'The Doctor Who Fooled the World', Deer recounts in vivid detail how he came to learn that Wakefield and his study were not what they appeared to be."
