"I'm so glad Andy Wakefield finally has the chance to tell his story. Perhaps no debate on the planet right now is more confusing, more conflicting, or more maddening for parents than the debate over the causes and treatments of autism... For hundreds of thousands of parents around the world, myselfincluded, Andy Wakefield is a symbol of strength and conviction that all parents of children with autism can use to fiht for truth and the best lives possible for their kids."

"Andrew Wakefield has been subjected to extraordinary criticism and condemnation from professional colleagues and the wider community since he first questoned the safety of the MMR vaccine. In this book he answers his critics---powerfully and comprehensively---and sets the record straight. It is essential reading for anyone wanting to know the truth behind the MMR debate and the politics of vaccination policy."

"As a mother of a boy who regressed into autism immediately following his MMR vaccination, I werlcome this book unresrvedly ... whatever your thoughts on the issue, if You read nothing else at all on the vaccine-autism debate, this has to be the most crucial book you read."

"Meeting Dr. Andy Wakfield changed our lives and ... we are forever grateful. His wise and measured advice about vaccinations helped us dodge a bullet ... Our fourth son [had] multiple allergies and repeated infections ... We now fully realize [he] would have been a victim of immune overload had we followed the regular vaccine schedule ... [He] is [now] bright and healthy ... This book provides a terrifying insight into what has been happening the scenes as efforts redouble to silence Dr. Wakefield ... It is a wake-up call to those who think [he] is anything other than a modern day hero fighting for all our children."

Subject: Autism. Suspect: Vaccines. Victims: Children. Callous Disregard is the account of how a doctor confronted first a disease and then the medical system that sought and still seeks to deny that disease, leaving millions of children to suffer and a world at risk.

In 1995, Dr. Andrew Wakefield came to a fork in the road. As an academic gastro-entefologist at the Royal Free School of Medicine and the University of London, Dr. Wakefield was presented with a professional challenge and was confronted by a moral choice. Previously normal children were, according to their parents, regressing into autism and developing intestinal problems. Many parents blamed the MMR. vaccine. Trusting in his medical training, the parental narrative, and above all, the instinct of mothers for their children's well-being, he chose what would become a very difficult road.

Walk that road now as some-the parents of affected children---already have. Many more will, either as parents or grandparents, as the worldwide tsunami of childhood developmental disorders breaks hearts and bankrupts educational and healthcare infrastructures.

Dr. Wakefield provides the facts and an explanation of the problem that confronted him and his colleagues fifteen years ago. He does this in a detailed forensic analysis of the lies, obfuscation, cover-up, and dys-topian science and medicine that panders to commercial interests at the expense of your children
