The Doctor Who Fooled the World: Andrew Wakefield’s War on Vaccines
The story of the man who created the myth that a vaccine causes autism
Now, more than ever, discussions about vaccines are everywhere. In the middle of a pandemic, they are a beacon of hope for many, while being the subject of great suspicion to others. These groups are not necessarily mutually exclusive, but the debate continues to boil, growing increasingly emotional. Despite vaccines (and versions of) being used for hundreds of years, even predating the famed Edward Jenner, societal distrust has never been higher. With all this considered, The Doctor Who Fooled the World is an unsurprisingly evocative book.
