You’re invited to join us for an evening of conversation with Dr. Andrew Wakefield, one of the earliest voices to raise concerns of the connection between a childhood vaccine and digestive and neurological injuries.
About Dr. Wakefield
Dr. Andrew Wakefield first drew widespread attention for his 1998 Lancet MMR autism study; he had discovered a new disease. But pursuit of links between childhood vaccines, intestinal inflammation, and neurological injury in children, cost him his job in the Department of Medicine at London’s Royal Free Hospital, his country, career, Fellowships, and his medical license. He has since been proven right.
Wakefield re-invented himself as an award-winning filmmaker. His first documentary, Who Killed Alex Spourdalakis?, made American legal history by changing the outcome of a case of alleged murder. He produced, directed and co-wrote VAXXED, a CDC whistleblower story confirming the MMR vaccine-autism link, and one of the top US documentary features of 2016. He is the director of his first major narrative feature, Protocol 7, co-written with Terry Rossio.
About the Talk
He will talk about the twist and turns his career has taken and about the release of his latest bestseller – The Bequest. Books can be purchased at the event and signed by Dr. Wakefield after the talk.
