\\\\\\\\|In a special [series of articles](http://www.bmj.com/content/342/bmj.d22.full) published by BMJ, Brian Deer exposes the data behind claims that launched a worldwide scare over the measles, mumps, and rubella vaccine, and reveals how the appearance of a link with autism was manufactured at a London medical school. In an [accompanying editorial](http://www.bmj.com/cgi/doi/10.1136/bmj.c7452), Fiona Godlee and colleagues say that Andrew Wakefield's article linking MMR vaccine and autism was based not on bad science but on a deliberate fraud. In addition, Brian Deer analyses the similarities between the MMR scare and the case of "Piltdown Man” in this [blog post](http://blogs.bmj.com/bmj/2011/01/06/brian-deer-piltdown-medicine-the-missing-link-between-mmr-and-autism/).\\\\\\\|

\\\\\\\|By Brian Deer\\\\\\\|
\\\\\\\|
\\\\\\\|'MMR doctor' planned scheme to make millions from his health scare Andrew Wakefield, the disgraced doctor who claimed a link between MMR and autism, planned secret businesses intended to make huge sums of money, in Britain and America, from his now-discredited allegations. The Wakefield scheme is exposed today in the second part of a BMJ series of special reports, "Secrets of the MMR scare," by investigative journalist Brian Deer. Last week we revealed the scientific fraud behind the appearance of a link between the vaccine and autism. Now Deer follows the money.\\\\\\\|

\\\\\\\|Published January 18, 2011\\\\\\\|
\\\\\\\|By Brian Deer\\\\\\\|
\\\\\\\|
\\\\\\\|A series of denials and a failure to formally investigate allegations of misconduct in Andrew Wakefield's MMR research meant the public was misled about the credibility of the paper for six years. In the third and final part of a special BMJ series, "Secrets of the MMR scare", investigative journalist Brian Deer reveals how the medical establishment closed ranks to protect Wakefield after he raised concerns with the Lancet in 2004. Deer thought the editor, Richard Horton, would say that an investigation was needed. Instead he reports that "within 48 hours, and working with the paper's three senior authors, the journal was to publish 5000 words of denials, in statements, unretracted to this day."\\\\\\\|
