书籍介绍
The dramatic story of the biggest scientific deception of our time. The news breaks first as a tale of fear and pity. Research at a London hospital has apparently found a link between autism and a vaccine given to millions of children.
Young parents are terrified. Immunisation rates slump. And a worldwide 'anti-vax' movement kicks off, as old diseases return to sicken and kill.
But a veteran reporter, Brian Deer, has doubts. So he questions a mother about what happened to her child, and her account triggers an epic investigation. Battling establishment cover-ups, smear campaigns, and gagging lawsuits, Deer exposes rigged research and secret schemes, the heartbreaking plight of families struggling with disability, and the scientific deception of our time.
Here's the story of Andrew Wakefield: a man in search of greatness, who stakes his soul on big ideas that, if right, might transform lives. But when the facts don't fit, he can't face failure. He'll do whatever it takes to succeed.
