Wakefield never wanted the autism thing. He was essentially a gut doctor. But all these parents of autistic kids kept going to him for help because their kids had bad gastrointestinal issues. From what I recall they had basically discovered a new disease in the guts of these kids, and it was being caused by the vaccine. The mmr is a live supposedly attenuated vaccine.
