Many years ago when I was a practicing physician, I used to read a lot of scientific and medical articles, so I caught wind of the Wakefield controversy early on. Of course I was first exposed by the mainstream media interpretation. Due to other personal experiences, my initial reaction to any media ad hominem attack is to look up the primary source. So I found a copy of Wakefields then retracted paper and not surprisingly realized that what he actually said in the paper did not match anything the media claimed he had said. I was not surprised. Yes, Wakefield appears to me also to be a sincere, honest man with integrity. His paper is scientifically sound. It was retracted by political and economic forces.

The only substack I made the mistake of subscribing to that immediately spammed junk mail to my private email. A red flag in my books.
