Vaxxed: From Cover-Up to Catastrophe was released in 2016 to thunderous applause of a very small but growing group around the world: Anti-Vaxxers. It is the crowning achievement of disgraced doctor Andrew Wakefield after he was stripped of his license and ejected from Academia. The film itself is a mess of conspiracy and barely obfuscated defense of Wakefield. Like many films of this type, it uses every trick in the book to sell the same dangerous idea that vaccines cause autism. They don't. This video series will examine everything about the movie, surrounding the movie and who was involved with it.
Part 2 illustrates the history of Andrew Wakefield and the blossoming of the modern anti-vaxx movement.
