Interestingly, despite Wankfield being regarded as the father of the modern "anti-vax" movement, at the time he birthed said movement from his deformed loins, he wasn't actually "anti-vax". In fact, he was instead, trying to instill fear in the public over the combined MMR vaccine. He invented a condition he called "inflammatory colitis", and claimed to have found a connection between this condition, and children with autism, beginning after the administration of the MMR vaccination. | |||
He stood to profit massively from this in two ways, firstly, by starting a "testing clinic" for the illness, which, given that it didn't exist, would have been the only facility able to "detect it", and secondly, by means of a patent on a singular Measles vaccine, which was the whole key to the grift to begin with, presumably selling millions of units after his fraudulent study had discredited the combination vaccine according to his plan. | |||
