thanks for that update. Good to see some sort of discussion is allowed.

this is an interesting question to me. From my recolllection, the original video (i.e. before Mr. Deer’s commentary was added) were first placed on YouTube. I don’t know if there was a copyright notice at the time.

There is a copyright notice now on the website for the producer of the videos. The videos carry commercials.

Too bad that the Wakefield people are so scared of Brian Deer they had his response to Mr. Wakefield removed because of ‘copyright’ issues. Why are they so afraid of Brian Deer’s commentary?

Because Mr. Deer is the one person who has done the most to expose what the CMC has called Dr. Wakefield’s unethical behavior.

There is an effort underway to repair Dr. Wakefield’s image. The original for this video is one big example. The interview with Dr. Mercola is another.

People are not spending the time and money on this image campaign only to have it challenged.

“why are they so afraid of Brian Deer’s commentary”?

Take a look at our latest post,

and the article in the BMJ.

I’d put the YouTube “copyright” argument down to vengeance. Unable to stop the BMJ article and the Sunday Times articles, they do whatever little they can.

Wakefield’s speech at the Autism One Conference 2008 covered much of the material in this latest interview.

I don’t understand why Wakefield brings up urabe at all. It disproves his explanation of the reason for the GMC hearing, if you spend a minute thinking about it. If the government wanted to cover up the urabe business, then why bring charges against the three doctors, who might then talk about it.

@Sheldon101, I would suspect that Wakers is trying to re-invent himself and summon up a new line of work in the aftermath of his failed measles-autism hypothesis. Let’s face it, there are 2 more viruses in the MMR that they can whip up new claims about.

There was also no cover-up with regards to the Urabe strains; there are numerous publications on the subject on PubMed and, surprise, not a single one of those scientists have been railroaded, nor censured.
