Indeed it would > have been unusual for him to be funded for a review article of this kind. > A further objective, according to Sawyer, was to "limit the > interruption of the work and personal lives of the authors and to enable > further requests by the media to be refused on the grounds that enough had > been said." This was not borne out by subsequent media coverage. > The rest, as they say, is history. The Sunday Telegraph (21 January) > led the charge on Wakefield's behalf. "Shame on officials who say MMR is > safe," tut-tutted Lorraine Fraser, presumably one of the "well-informed > journalists" that Sawyer was referring to.

Fraser also > described Adverse Drug Reactions and Toxicology Reviews as a "respected > medical journal," which was news to most people, who had never heard of it. > Wakefield has a history of courting the press. The Lancet described > his behaviour at the press conference about his 1998 Lancet study as "a huge > blow to the efforts of measles eradication," and implied that his claims > were not shared by his co-authors (Lancet 2000;355:1379).
