Concerning the State of Vaccines in America By Dr. John and Linda Gonino
Editor on 
In 2013 a CDC whistle blower leaked that the centers study in 2004 of the MMR vaccine and its’ link to autism, was purposefully tainted as they omitted evidence and data that produced the causal relationship of the two. What commenced and came out of this persons information is the movie VAXXED: From Cover Up to Catastrophe. Join us as Director Dr. Andrew Wakefield and Producer Polly Tommy tell us about the movie, the bus tour, the scrutiny and eventual blast off of the movie that is a true source of the state of vaccine damage, death and laws in America.
This subject matter is controversial, but at the heart of this film is the real life stories of parents with vaccine injured and sadly, dead children from vaccines. Texans for Vaccine Choice, Director of state policy, Rebecca Hardy is with us as well giving us the pulse of legislation trying to be passed in the state of Texas on vaccines and what you can do to join your local movements and stand up for medical liberties.

Dr. Andrew Wakefield MB.BS. is an academic gastroenterologist. He received his medical degree from St. Maryâs Hospital Medical School, London in 1981. He qualified as Fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons in 1985 and trained as a gastrointestinal surgeon with a particular interest in inflammatory bowel disease. He was awarded a Wellcome Trust Traveling Fellowship to study small-intestinal transplantation in Toronto. He was made a Fellow of the Royal College of Pathologists in the U.K. in 2001. Wakefield has published over 140 original scientific papers, reviews, and book chapters.
In 1995, as an academic physician working in a London teaching hospital, he was contacted by the parent of an autistic child with stomach issues. He soon learned from several other parents with autistic behaviors, that their childrenâs regressive behavior immediately followed an MMR vaccine. He started investigating a possible role between gastrointestinal issues, the MMR vaccine, and neurological injury in children. In pursuit of this possible link, Dr. Wakefield participated in a study of twelve children with both stomach and developmental issues. The ensuing report, written with twelve other authors would catapult Wakefield into becoming one of the most controversial figures in the history of Medicine. He is the Director of “Vaxxed: From Cover-Up to Catastrophe.â
