Description


The doctor at the centre of the MMR row has been struck off the medical register.


Andrew Wakefield was found guilty of serious professional misconduct by the General Medical Council (GMC) at a hearing in central London.


He acted in a way that was "dishonest", "misleading" and "irresponsible" while carrying out research into a possible link between the Measles, Mumps and Rubella (MMR) vaccine, bowel disease and autism, the GMC said.


Furthermore, he "abused his position of trust" and "brought the medical profession into disrepute" in studies he carried out on children.


The GMC said there had been "multiple separate instances of serious professional misconduct".
