Summary, etc. <div><p><span style="line-height: 107%; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">A reporter uncovers the secrets behind the scientific scam of the century.</span></p> <p><span style="line-height: 107%; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">The news breaks first as a tale of fear and pity. Doctors at a London hospital claim a link between autism and a vaccine given to millions of children: MMR. Young parents are terrified. Immunisation rates slump. And as a worldwide 'anti-vax' movement kicks off, old diseases return to sicken and kill.</span></p> <p><span style="line-height: 107%; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">But a veteran reporter isn't so sure, and sets out on an epic investigation. Battling establishment cover-ups, smear campaigns, and gagging lawsuits, he exposes rigged research and secret schemes, the heartbreaking plight of families struggling with disability, and the scientific deception of our time.</span></p> <p><span style="line-height: 107%; font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Here's the story of Andrew Wakefield: a man in search of greatness, who stakes his soul on big ideas that, if right, might transform lives. But when the facts don't fit, he can't face failure. He'll do whatever it takes to succeed.</span></p><br /></div>
