Answer
The primary focus of Andrew Wakefield's activism is anti-vaccination advocacy. His opposition to certain vaccinations, particularly the MMR (measles, mumps, and rubella) vaccine, gained public attention through a fraudulent research paper he published in 1998. This paper falsely linked the MMR vaccine to autism, leading to significant distrust in vaccines despite numerous subsequent studies refuting his claims.
