Investigative reporter Brian Deer exposes a conspiracy of fraud and
betrayal behind attacks on a mainstay of medicine: vaccinations.
2021 IPPY Book Award Winner (Gold) in Health/Medicine/Nutrition,
Recipient of the Eric Hoffer Award for Nonfiction in the Culture
Category. From San Francisco to Shanghai, from Vancouver to Venice,
controversy over vaccines is erupting around the globe. Fear is
spreading. Banished diseases have returned. And a militant
"anti-vax" movement has surfaced to campaign against children's
shots. But why? In The Doctor Who Fooled the World, award-winning
investigative reporter Brian Deer exposes the truth behind the
crisis. Writing with the page-turning tension of a detective story,
he unmasks the players and unearths the facts. Where it began. Who
was responsible. How they pulled it off. Who paid. At the heart of
this dark narrative is the rise of the so-called "father of the
anti-vaccine movement": a British-born doctor, Andrew Wakefield.
Banned from medicine, thanks to Deer's discoveries, he fled to the
United States to pursue his ambitions, and now claims to be winning
a "war." In an epic investigation spread across fifteen years, Deer
battles medical secrecy and insider cover-ups, smear campaigns and
gagging lawsuits, to uncover rigged research and moneymaking
schemes, the heartbreaking plight of families struggling with
disability, and the scientific scandal of our time.
