No one has done more damage to public health and trust in science and medicine than Andrew Wakefield.

26 years after his wrong and fraudulent paper people are still spouting his nonsense about an alleged link between vaccines and autism.

The study was debunked countless times.

There is no link.

As a child from poor, uneducated parents, I was never thought to succeed.

And now here I am, being ranked as one of the top 1% scholars in Medicine.

To all kids out there being doubted: Never give up.

For all adults: Be the one person who believes in a child.
