Answer

In 2010, Andrew Wakefield was struck off the medical register by the General Medical Council (GMC) after a hearing found him guilty of multiple charges of misconduct, including dishonesty and irresponsibility in his research and publication of the 1998 study linking the MMR vaccine to autism, which was later retracted and widely discredited.
