Doctors and other health professionals who go against the mainstream can find themselves ostracised.
We've been told who they are and what they think. But have we been misled? How many of us have actually heard from them directly?

Perhaps the most famous doctor to be cancelled after questioning vaccines, Dr Andrew Wakefield raised concerns about the MMR (measles, mumps and rubella) vaccine in 1998.

Perhaps the most famous doctor to be cancelled after questioning vaccines, Dr Andrew Wakefield raised concerns about the MMR (measles, mumps and rubella) vaccine in 1998.
Along with fellow researchers, he queried the vaccine’s possible connection to autism and bowel disease in children, and called for more research in this area.
He was ultimately accused of fraud and removed from the UK medical register by the GMC.
He is now a filmmaker, directing and producing various films including Vaxxed: from Cover-Up to Catastrophe and 1986: The Act.
You can hear his version of events on a variety of podcasts and at The Highwire.

In 2002, Dr Donegan – a family doctor – acted as an expert in a case for two mothers whose ex-partners were applying to have their children vaccinated.
The GMC accused her of serious professional misconduct, despite acknowledging her to be
'objective, independent and unbiased’.
She was removed from the GMC register in 2023.

Dr Paul Thomas started out following the routine CDC childhood vaccination schedule with his patients. However, he ultimately realised that a ‘one-size-fits-all' approach wasn’t appropriate.
He opened his own clinic, which allowed for a more flexible approach to vaccination.
In 2020, Dr Thomas published a peer-reviewed study indicating that his unvaccinated patients were the healthiest children in his practice. In December of that year, the Oregon Medical Board issued an emergency order to suspend his licence.
‘The War on Informed Consent’ tells his story.
Dr Paul now hosts the show ‘With the Wind’ and is a public speaker ‘on health, freedom, communication, and putting kids first’ via Kids First 4 Ever.

Listen to our wide-ranging conversation with Dr Jayne Donegan.

...a healthy, happy child.
We need to work together to achieve this.
If a medical professional is recommending a treatment for your child, you have the right to ask questions. Informed consent is impossible if you don't fully understand the risks and benefits.
So let's talk. Here are our suggestions for starting the conversation.
