The Forbidden Conversation: Autism, Vaccines, and the Search for Truth
Dr. Andy Wakefield has spent decades at the center of one of the most controversial topics in modern medicine: vaccines and their potential link to autism. This week, IMA Co-Founder and Chief Scientific Officer Dr. Paul Marik welcomes Wakefield for a timely conversation about his early research, the backlash that followed, and how his voice continues to resonate in today’s medical climate. They’ll also explore Protocol 7, Wakefield’s new award-winning film that marks his transition from researcher to filmmaker.
With HHS now promising its first-ever placebo-controlled trials for childhood vaccines, and RFK Jr. pledging to release long-suppressed vaccine safety data, Wakefield’s early warnings are taking on renewed urgency. This is more than a debate—it’s a reminder of why transparency in medicine is one of IMA’s core pillars, and why honest conversations like this one matter more than ever.
