Wakefield was a former doctor and the lead author of an infamous paper in 1998 that suggested a since-debunked connection between vaccines and autism in children. Diane Tenenbaum, M.D. from St. Peter’s Family Health Center, a practice of St. Peter’s Health Partners Medical Associates (SPHPMA), was interviewed for a segment on WNYT-NewsChannel 13 discussing the controversy and the critical importance of vaccination.
