Andrew Wakefield, autism researcher, cannot sue in Texas, court says Andrew Wakefield, who was stripped of his British medical license in 2010 after his autism research had been discredited, cannot sue a British magazine, editor and reporter for defamation in Texas, a state appeals court ruled Friday. The articles in the British Medical Journal — raising substantial questions about the accuracy of Wakefield’s 1998 study that indicated a possible link between autism and vaccines — did not have strong enough ties to Texas to give Wakefield access to the District Courts in Austin, where he lives, the 3rd Court of Appeals said. newsintx/andrew-wakefield-autism-researcher-cannot-sue-in-texas-court-says-2/
