Dr Andrew Wakefield, the first person to suggest a link between MMR vaccine and autism was struck off the medical registe

The GMC had ruled earlier this year that Dr Wakefield acted unethically in the way he conducted his research.
Dr Surendra Kumar, the GMC panel's chairman, said, "The panel concluded that it is the only sanction that is appropriate to protect patients and is in the wider public interest, including the maintenance of public trust and confidence in the profession, and is proportionate to the serious and wide-ranging findings made against him."
Dr Wakefield, currently based in the US, has called these findings unjust.
