•Q: It is now eight years after the retraction
of your study, what have you been
up to?
A: Since the retraction of my study, I have
written and directed a documentary titled
Vaxxed: From Cover-Up to Catastrophe
which is “an investigation into the CDC’s
destruction of a study linking autism to
the MMR vaccine.” CDC whistleblower
Dr. William Thompson plays a major role
in the documentary.
•Q: Do you believe that the trial for your
study was conducted fairly?
A: No, I think that it was superfluous 49
as my study was conducted fairly as I
went through “a process, and it was a
study of 12 individuals aged 3-10 years
who were reffered to a paediatric gastroenterology
unit” (Wakefield para 2). I
conducted my research and recorded my
results, and shared them with the world.
•Q: Do you think the court decision in
the UK was negligent 50 ?
A: Yes, I think that the court took it way
too far in the punishment from the case.
They are all working against me and the
people of the world, casting out those
like me who challenge the authority. If
my study were to reflect their views, and
not argue them like I did, then they would
have not came to the same conclusion,
instead they would have endorsed me.
•Q: How has the trial and everything circulating
it affected your ability to make
a living?
A: Although this is a major setback in my
career, and in the advancement of my
goal, I am still finding ways to make an
impact for the people. I have met with
those such as Kennedy and President
Donald Trump to discuss my agenda.
Many of you may have heard about my
discussion at Trump’s Inaugural Ball, and
22 TIME May 31, 2017
A Time Exclusive Intervi
I still hold this true. I still feel that the Center
for Disease Control and Prevention
needs an overhaul, and I feel that Trump
will be the president that will allow this to
happen. Also, while talking with Kennedy,
another supporter of my anti vaccine
campaign. “I want to make the world
a better place for children with autism,
a safer place for children.” “What we
need now is a huge shakeup at the Center
for Disease Control and Prevention.”
Hopefully in the near future I am able
to fulfil my goal, and help children for
years to come. With the new president
who supports ome of the same views as
me, I feel that we can accomplish our
goal, and not be stopped by the courts
like last time.
•Q: Why is it that 10 of the 12 people
who worked with you in the study were
in favor of the retraction?
A: I think that the ten of them that wanted
to retract our study that we conducted
feared the legal consequences if they
were to vote to keep it. Throughout the
study, Each person worked tirelessly to
get results, and then the whole thing
comes back to blow up in their face.
They were neophytes 51 just making sure
that they would still have a career when
the dust cleared, and they only chided 52
when the courts stepped in.
•Q: Do you think that the downward
trend in vaccines after your study was
published in The Lancet had a negative
impact on the people’s health?
A: No, I am not penitent 53 of the work I
conducted as it is for the benefit of the
peoples health, if there is a problem with
the vaccines they are giving their children,
I think that they have the right to
know. That is why I started the study and
it is also the same reason I push a similar
agenda today.
