If Andrew Wakefield is practicing medicine in the U.S., he's doing so without a license. (And, really, would anybody put that past him?) According to the latest information I could find with a fairly cursory web search, he's living near Austin, Texas, where he is or has been an administrator at a clinic dealing with autism. His fraudulent, discredited claims about a link between vaccination and autism do have a cult following over here, his most famous disciple being Playboy Playmate Jenny McCarthy. Of course, the fact that somebody looks good naked is not by itself reason to reject her medical advice. The fact that someone has been stripped of his medical license, on the other hand . . . .
