Title: The Doctor Who Fooled the World: Science, Deception and the War on Vaccines by Brian Deer
Reviewer: Dr. Stephen Dewhurst, Vice Dean for Research at the UofR School of Medicine and Dentistry and Associate Vice President for Health
Andrew Wakefield – the subject of Deer’s book – is a disgraced former doctor who Time magazine listed among history’s “great science frauds.” "This riveting history of Andrew Wakefield's career as an advocate for the discredited link between the measles vaccine and autism serves as a stirring demonstration of the process and power of investigative journalism." –Publishers Weekly
