Brian Deer and The GMC, Selective Hearing. BMJ Journalist

Brian Deer, a journalist writing for News Internationals Sunday Times, was the only person in the world to complain to a regulatory body about the work of doctors at the Royal Free Hospital in London who diagnosed children with Inflammatory Bowel Disease, which their parents suggested had occurred following MMR vaccination.

In 2003, after 10 years work, legal aid was withdrawn from over 1,000 parents claiming damages in a suit in which Dr Andrew Wakefield was to appear as an expert witness. In 2004 Deer wrote an exposé of Wakefield that was full of concoctions, half truths and fantasies and which claimed that the children examined by the team at the Royal Free were not ill. Deer's distorted pharma--imaginings became the basis of over 80 charges leveled against Dr Wakefield and three other doctors to be 'tried' by the General Medical Council (GMC). The hearing took place over three years between 2007 and 2010 and became one of the longest regulatory hearings ever held in Britain. Brian Deer, the centre of the whole plot, did not give evidence.

In bringing the fitness to practice case against Dr Andrew Wakefield, Professor Simon Murch and Professor John Walker-Smith, the GMC listened to journalist Brian Deer and excluded the views of hundreds of parents of vaccine damaged children. Who is Brian Deer? Vigilante for truth or front man for Big Pharma? Selective Hearing covers Deer's part in the heartbreaking betrayal of vaccine damaged children by the medical profession, the pharmaceutical corporations and the British government.

With the full power of the government and pharmaceutical industry behind him, few people were brave enough to tackle Deer. Alan Golding, however, is a Welshman, a very independent filmmaker and a man of considerable principle. Alan Golding gave himself completely over the three--year duration of the GMC hearing, to the cause of the parents of vaccine damaged children. Selective Hearing features clearly honest personal testimony from parents, an analysis of Deer's faulted case and unique material of him holding forth for the pharmaceutical companies in a heated exchange with parents outside the GMC building. If you see this film you will want to do something about Brian Deer.

Provide evidence then. Show me the evidence that his ADEM was caused by vaccination. Have they mapped the epitopes, shown antibodies cross reactive with vaccine antigens and myelin?

Large scales studies don't support linking ADEM with vaccination. Only one I know of is a for of rabies vaccine.

Yes the magic screening that picks up all possible immune deficiencies with a skin test. Please provide me with the details of this test.

Why would anyone lie when children who shouldn't be vaccinated because of immune problems (genetic or acquired) or sensitivities to toxins & contaminants in vaccines are permanently injured or killed?

There are a few reasons... none of them good

Money or mental disorder (sociopath, narcissist... Schadenfruede?... sadism?) or both

PMID 10589903 - 8 months after his MMR shot a 21 month old boy was admitted, suffering

At 23 months he died

Diagnosis, vaccine strain measles brain infection

[SquiggleBibble]

All the anti-vaccination retards that comment on this should really read this, and investigate how Andrew Wakefield distorted evidence for his own financial gain: h t t p : / / t a l l g u y w r i t e s . l i v e j o u r n a l . c o m / 1 4 8 0 1 2 . h t m l

These questions should be put to the minister for health. Don't waste your time and money with their muppets.

... who is in the pay of insutitions/corporations that is run by psychopaths in pursuit of profit, vaccine damage is just collateral damage like any other war - the latest media scare mongering of measles outbreak in wales and promoting MMR ... god help those children and families.

[caz earle]

Deer is a clear narcisstic psychopath

[Michael Polidori]

Bailey's expert neurologist used the latest medical & scientific research proving MMR caused Bailey's ADEM

GLOBALLY, all major health institutions admit vaccine strain measles (& other live vax) causes ADEM

Skep tries to start an argument w/ insults instead of rationally discussing issues. His lies help injure & kill innocent kids who should never receive some or all vaccines

Screening would dramatically reduce injuries, but Skep makes excuses not to create well constructed screening criteria

[Skeptic E]

Not proven to be caused by MMR. Compensated for in court not proven.

Again this is such a moot point. ADEM much higher as a result of infections with vaccine preventable diseases. So vaccine actually prevents autism according to your (il)logic.

As I have said. Neurological conditions such as ADEM have neuropsychiatric consequences. Brain tumours, pick's dementia, schizophrenia can all have symptoms of an autistic spectrum disorder.

Doesn't mean they have autism.
