Between Dorit Rubinstein Reiss and I, we have written over 100 articles about that cunning fraud, Andrew Wakefield. Are you going to find anything positive about him in any of those +100 articles? No way. Is Andrew Wakefield discredited as a physician, scientist, and vaccine expert? You bet.
Why are we so obsessed with pointing out that he has been discredited? Because he has become, through media manipulation and many anti-vaccine acolytes and sycophants, the face of the “vaccines cause autism” meme. Note to the casual reader – there is absolutely no evidence that vaccines cause autism.
Is Andrew Wakefield discredited? Damn straight he is.
Mr. Wakefield is no doctor. He has been stricken off the list of physicians in the UK which is tantamount to having his license to practice medicine revoked. Because he is no longer a physician, he can no longer be found in the Royal College of Surgeons.
And let’s not forget that Wakefield’s article, that made him a hero to the anti-vaccine crowd, in the Lancet was disowned by his coauthors and eventually retracted by the journal. Interesting little bit of trivia – the very first article (other than a welcome-test article) I ever wrote on here was about Wakefield.
Just to make life easier for those of you researching Andrew Wakefield and his various frauds, I’ve organized many of my posts into categories, so that you can find the Andrew Wakefield article that meets your needs.

Andrew Wakefield discredited – Vaxxed
Let’s start with Wakefield’s self-promoting fraudumentary, Vaxxed – from Coverup to Catastrophe. If you don’t know about this film, then here’s all the information you need:
- Vaxxed review – my personal take on the fraudumentary. I watched the film. I got ill.
- The fictional CDC coverup of vaccines and autism – movie time – before Vaxxed was released, I wrote a snarky, fictional account of the whole CDC whistleblower nonsense. Mine is better, just saying.
- Vaxxed – a guide to Andrew Wakefield’s fraudulent film
- Robert De Niro and Wakefield’s propaganda film – Vaxxed
- Tribeca pulls the Wakefield fraudulent documentary – the film festival pushing this fraudumentary can’t stand the heat and pulls the film from the schedule.
- In memoriam – fraudumentary Vaxxed by Andrew Wakefield – hoping that this film goes away before children are harmed.
- Andrew Wakefield – dishonest attempt at self-justification – Professor Reiss examines what Wakefield is really trying to accomplish with this fraudumentary.
- Anti-vaccine Robert De Niro morphs into Jenny McCarthy – yes, Robert De Niro buys into the vaccines cause autism nonsense.
- Robert De Niro talks vaccines – misinformation and ignorance
- Brian Hooker’s vaccine injury claim denied by NVICP – Hooker was Wakefield’s co-conspirator in trying to prove that there was a conspiracy shown in Vaxxed.
- Mike Adams invents Tribeca vaccines conspiracy theory – Mike Adams, aka The Health Ranger, aka nut job behind Natural News, aka the dude who thinks I’m Orac, spouts off about Vaxxed.
- Wakefield, Tribeca Film Festival – old claims new package – Professor Reiss takes a close look at the film.
- Vaxxed distributor threatened Fiona O’Leary – they’re afraid of her – An Irish mom and autism advocate is being legally attacked by the Vaxxed distributors because she has written facts about vaccines and autism. Since the facts aren’t on the side of the fraudumentary, they threaten legal action.
- Vaxxed threatens Fiona O’Leary – Phillipe Diaz doubles down – Vaxxed pushes ridiculous legal threats. What a maroon.
- Rachael Ross gets Vaxxed – that’s never good for a real doctor. TV doctor goes all-in with regards to the fraudumentary.
- Vaxxed misinformation – legal remedies for those harmed? Professor Reiss looks at legal recourse if a child is harmed as a result of watching this film.
- Vaxxed emotional appeal – putting kids at risk. Remember, no matter what else we discuss, this fraudumentary can put children at risk of contracting vaccine-preventable diseases.
Andrew Wakefield discredited – legal
Wakefield, after running from the UK to Texas, has attempted to game the legal system in some vain attempt to “prove” his innocence. Dorit Rubinstein Reiss has written numerous articles to point out his legal fallacies.
- Wakefield sues BMJ and Brian Deer for claiming that his study was fraudulent. BMJ wins.
- Refuting one of the tropes that Andrew Wakefield was wronged. No, Wakefield was not exonerated.
- Litigating as a debate tactic. Wakefield appeal denied.
- Time to regulate the anti-vaccine liars out of existence. If only we could.
- Incompetent Italian court uses Wakefield as a source to claim vaccines cause autism. Of course, that ruling was overturned by higher courts. And another similar ruling was similarly overturned.
- Andrew Wakefield keeps trying with legal challenges.
Andrew Wakefield discredited – entering politics
- Andrew Wakefield, the discredited anti-vaccine fraud, enters Texas politics – the cunning fraud Andrew Wakefield is supporting a far right-wing Republican in the primary election for a Texas House District 134. And he still loves Donald Trump.
