Wakefield did have ties to a company that packaged the MMR vaccines independently (which he claimed would not cause autism), but that company was created after his paper was released.
Meanwhile, in 2004 it was revealed that Wakefield was recieving a pay of £150 an hour (plus expenses) from a legal representative of JABS (an activist group that was pushing for vaccines as a cause of autism) to write the infamous antivax study.
In 2006 it was revealed he'd been paid a further fee of £435,643 as a lump sum by a different group of British lawyers shortly before he began work on the study.
i thought that the most suspect financial link with Wakefield was to a medical company marketing a different vaccine/vaccination schedule?
