Wakefield lost credibility with his faked vaccine study... I wonder if Wakefield started suffering from a touch of schizotypy.
@Hip, you act as if your opinions on Andrew Wakefield are universally accepted, and this somehow entitles you to ridicule him in some pretty deplorable ways. The fact is--as I'm sure you're aware--he's held in high regard by many (including me) who view him as a courageous man. Someone willing to suggest--based on compelling evidence--that vaccines should be looked at more carefully, especially as regards to autism.
His suggestion of a possible MMR vaccine/autism connection 20 years ago has only been strengthened over time. And it's not too difficult to believe his research will continue to gain credibility, and create a whole new paradigm surrounding vaccinations, and their perceived safety (I fervently hope so). -- It didn't take me very long to find just a couple of links to some people who believe quite differently than what the incredibly corrupt pharmaceutical industry would have us believe about him.

New Published Study Verifies Andrew Wakefield’s Research on Autism – Again -- January 25, 2020
Below is a snippet from the above linked article:
Two landmark events – a government concession in the US Vaccine Court, and a groundbreaking scientific paper – confirm that physician, scientist, and Autism Media Channel [AMC] Director, Dr. Andrew Wakefield, and the parents were right all along.
In a recently published December 13, 2012 vaccine court ruling, hundreds of thousands of dollars were awarded to Ryan Mojabi, whose parents described how “MMR vaccinations,” caused a “severe and debilitating injury to his brain, diagnosed as Autism Spectrum Disorder (‘ASD’).”
Later the same month, the government suffered a second major defeat when young Emily Moller from Houston won compensation following vaccine-related brain injury that, once again, involved MMR and resulted in autism. The cases follow similar successful petitions in the Italian and US courts (including Hannah Poling [ii], Bailey Banks [iii], Misty Hyatt [iv], Kienan Freeman [v], Valentino Bocca [vi], and Julia Grimes [vii]) in which the governments conceded or the court ruled that vaccines had caused brain injury. In turn, this injury led to an ASD diagnosis. MMR vaccine was the common denominator in these cases. ...
From 1998 Dr. Wakefield discovered and reported intestinal disease in children with autism. [ix] Based upon the medical histories of the children he linked their disease and their autistic regression to the Measles, Mumps, Rubella (MMR vaccine). He has since been subjected to relentless personal and professional attacks in the media, and from governments, doctors and the pharmaceutical industry. In the wake of demonstrably false and highly damaging allegations of scientific fraud by British journalist Brian Deer and the British Medical Journal, Dr. Wakefield is pursuing defamation proceedings against them in Texas.

While repeated studies from around the world confirmed Wakefield’s bowel disease in autistic children [xi] and his position that safety studies of the MMR are inadequate, [xii] Dr. Wakefield ’s career has been destroyed by false allegations. Despite this he continues to work tirelessly to help solve the autism catastrophe.
