I started getting calls from parents saying my child was perfectly normal.

They stopped sleeping at night, they were screaming, they were in pain.

The lights went out in their eyes. It was a very common description.

Doctors say, this is just part of autism get over it put your child in a home

have another child and forget about it what were they thinking this is their quote

we are not going to be left with an orphan drug and so it was decided to avoid that they

would put it into one-day-old inputs. Do vaccines cause autism?

When I was a boy, it was the left that was skeptical of vaccines, thought that there might be a link between vaccines and

autism. It was the left-wing shows that promoted this idea. Now, politics has flipped upside

down. It's people on the right who suspect that vaccines might cause autism or other adverse

health effects. It's the people on the left who are defending Big Pharma. You've now got Bobby Kennedy, who was a Democrat.

He's a Kennedy, for goodness sakes.

He's now the Secretary of Health and Human Services for Donald Trump,

who previously had been kind of a Democrat.

Now he's the Republican president.

And here I am still totally ignorant of vaccines.

So I figured I'd call in a man who is at the center of this controversy,

and that is Dr. Andy Wakefield. Dr. Wakefield, thank you for coming on the show.

Nice to be here. Thank you very much. For the people who don't know who you are,

you published the study in the 1990s that suggested adverse health effects from the MMR vaccine.

And you have also been the chief target of everyone who wants to defend all vaccines, really,

and especially the MMR vaccine.
