About this listen
Andrew Wakefield reveals the inside story of the vaccine-autism connection, and his controversial research.
As Andrew Wakefield states in his prologue, “If autism does not affect your family now, it will. If something does not change - and change soon - this is almost a mathematical certainty. This book affects you also. It is not a parochial look at a trivial medical spat in the United Kingdom, but dispatches from the battlefront in a major confrontation - a struggle against compromise in medicine, corruption of science, and a real and present threat to children in the interests of policy and profit. It is a story of how ‘the system’ deals with dissent among its doctors and scientists.”
In the pursuit of possible links between childhood vaccines, intestinal inflammation, and neurologic injury in children, Wakefield lost his job in London’s Royal Free Hospital, his country of birth, his career, and his medical license. A recent General Medical Council ruling stated that he was “dishonest, irresponsible and showed callous disregard for the distress and pain of children.” Maligned by the medical establishment and mainstream media, Wakefield endeavors to set the record straight in Callous Disregard. While explaining what really happened, he calls out the organizations and individuals that are acting not for the sake of children affected by autism, but in their own self-interests.

Diagnoses of autism are rising. Why? Is some biological agent causing an actual uptick in autism?
In 1998, the respected medical journal The Lancet published a paper by Dr. Andrew Wakefield, a U.K.-based physician and researcher, that proposed a link between child vaccinations and autism. The paper ignited a major public fear of vaccinations and a hot scientific debate which ended with the disgrace and discrediting of Wakefield and his findings.
Callous Disregard, adeptly narrated by Gildart Jackson, is Wakefield’s attempt to uphold his original findings and clear his name. More than a discussion of vaccination and autism, Callous Disregard, is a look into the process of scientific discovery and the special interests that can get in the way.

Not a literary masterpiece but..
Very detailed explanation of the whole debacle - any trust one had in the medical establishment is gone

Important book
As a nurse with an academic background in medical sociology and the history & philosophy of science, I feel the comparison of Wakefield with Semmelweis is an apt one. Those who have left negative reviews have either not listened to the book or, if they have, have failed to understand any clinical, legal, ethical or logical points that have been made therein.

Excellent to hear the another side of the story.
Informative and logical, a must for anyone wishing to make an informed choice on the truth for the possibility in vaccination.

the facts don't fit
Regarding this book, the author claims he lost his job as doctor. So either he's completely stupid crazy, and should never have been there in the first place, or he's genuinely trying to warn people of something, that nobody in the higher echolons of society want people to hear. Personally after hearing the same story 100 times over, it gets increasingly difficult to chalk everything up to coincidence, but who knows, maybe the parents made it up - which eventually is also a coincidence. the book also describes with strong hints, that this is ultimately about profits and saving face politically, and any reneging would open the floodgates to even more claims for compensation, and while I understand this is his thoughts, I don't agree. is there a problem? sure there is, you have to very ignorant to not realise that something with today's kids is very wrong Vs a few decades ago. But expecting a system that we call society who produces these kids to somehow self regulate and self correct, is something I'll never understand people seeking. it's like asking the system to go after Blair over the whole WMD lie that took us to war, it simply ain't happening. while I appreciate the author thinks everything else is just and above board, and the only reason things don't sort themselves out, is due to legal experts having a lack of medical expertise, I find myself wanting to tell him over and over again in this book "it's like this by design." I wish him all the best, right or wrong, he gave his career up for what he believed is right.

Struck off for political reasons not malpractice
A heavy read (well listen) but as the father of an autistic child goes a long way to explain what was going wrong and why they had to strike off a doctor to protect pharma companies. So many of the characteristics if the children mimic exactly what parents of children with ASD notice after mmr vaccination. Hopefully one day science will prevail and the veil of secrecy will be lifted on what really has happened to our children.

Wakefield exonerated
This book is a detailed account of Wakefield's battle with the medical establishment. Have only got halfway through so far but character of book is clear. Its a good book & I dare say Wakefield is in the right but there seems to be only limited discussion of the key underlying subject, ie the link between vaccines & autism. Its more about who said what, why & when. So you need to be very interested in this admittedly important case to persevere. And if that is what you want the book is excellent. Clear & well written. Also well read in a pleasant voice.

this hero deserves the truth to be known
SHAME ON YOU TROLLS WHO ENABLE HARM AND MURDER OF CHILDREN AND GIVE BAD REVIEWS DELIBERATELY LYING IF YOU BOTHERED TO READ/ LISTEN TO THE BOOK OR JUST SPREADING YOUR CULT NARRATIVE WITHOUT EVEN EDUCATING YOURSELVES. EVIL. Well laid out sequence of events showing what was said by both sides (his and the establishment) including court testimonies. this book offers an insight to the science that was gathered and analysed and misrepresented as using children as test subjects. Andrew is a caring, honourable man who cared deeply for the children affected by corporate attacks on humanity for money or population control and he put his neck on the line and took abuse from the cult members who mindlessly trust the government and monopolised, sinister, hijacked "health" system that actively harms and kills those who trust it. the book offers insight into the people involved in spinning webs of lies and their communications and dirty tricks designed to pull the wool over the eyes of the public. it's not written with opinions, it sticks to the verifiable facts and helps represent the afflicted families including the 12 kids who became known as the lancet 12 after the lancet published andrews findings. Andrew wants vaccines to be better tested for safety and regulated and given in single doses although all jabs are based on a homeopathic style treatment that was always built on lies and have always maimed and killed and damaged genes. im not sure if he has looked into the truth about the long history of lies and deaths since he wrote this but he is commendable for trying to prevent harm to children and does mention that vaccines wane and people get more damaged if they get diseases after childhood even with boosters whereas children generally get over them easily if exposed naturally. doctors are lied to and used as drug pushers. its good to have this book as reference to the corruption and callous disregard for children by psychos running the show. I recommend this book it was interesting. the narrator is wonderful, he is good at playing different roles too. ANYONE WHO WANTS TO UNDO THE DAMAGE SHOULD LOOK INTO DETOXING USING CHLORINE DIOXIDE, CHLORELLA, DIATOMACEOUS EARTH, DMSO ETC.. AND DO PARASITE CLEANSES, LIVER CLEANSES ETC AND TAKE AMINOS , LIONS MANE, GABA AND LOW DOSE NALTREXONE TO HEAL THE BRAIN AND EAT A PLANT BASED DIET, PEFERABLY ORGANIC. REMOVING THE CAUSE WILL GIVE THE BODY THE POWER TO REPAIR. KERRI RIVERA HAS HELPED THOUSANDS

Heartbreaking what has become our healthcare system. An important read written by a true hero.
I was interested to read this book after my friend was vaccine injured. The more I read around this subject the more I realise what an evil and corrupt world we live in. Dr Wakefield dared to speak out against a trillion dollar industry and paid the price.
