Andrew Wakefield in The Pathological Optimist (2017)
In the center of the recent Tribeca Film Festival scandal surrounding his film VAXXED: From Cover-up to Controversy stands Andrew Wakefield, discredited and stripped of his medical license for his infamous study suggesting a link between the MMR vaccine, bowel disease, and autism. THE PATHOLOGICAL OPTIMIST takes us into the inner sanctum of Wakefield and his family from 2011- 2016 as he fights for his day in court in a little known defamation case against the British Medical Journal. Wakefield attempts to clear his name as the media-appointed Father of the Anti-vaccine movement. Director Miranda Bailey weaves a delicate portrait of a man who is THE PATHOLOGICAL OPTIMIST utilizing a never-before-seen, full access look at the man at the center of one of the biggest medical and media controversies of our times.

    Thoughtful and interesting.

    Having always felt really uncomfortable with the mass hysteria that follows Wakefield it's good to see a movie that at least puts some of the other side over. If he had an incentive to make his (the group's) research come to an answer where he might profit, the other side does times about a 1000. A great film to counterbalance the stifling of a rounded debate, not helped by universities denying Wakefield access to state case.

    NOT A Documentary

    This is a puff piece intended to allow Wakefield and his dreadful wife to drone on about how poorly he was treated.

    There is NOTHING new here to add to what is already known.

    A quick web search confirms that :

    • he created a fraudulent paper, tying vaccinations to autism


    • that fraud has led to a very significant drop in vaccinations worldwide and thousands or likely millions of unnecessary deaths as a result


    • he had undisclosed financial reasons for lying about vaccinations and he should be jailed for the deaths and harm he has caused


    Special shoutouts to Jenny McCarthy and Oprah for assisting him in killing all of those people.

    Yes, Oprah, that TV demi god. She helped to kill millions of people. Sweet, eh?

    Definite must see

    SO disappointed in DiNero and Tribeca for caving into pressures to quash Wakefield's story

    A puff piece with a hidden agenda

    I watched this out of curiosity, to see if the director *actually* tried to perform some sort of investigative documentary making around Wakefield dubious intentions and alarming practices.

    But no.

    Let's repeat this for gazillionth time : Vaccines. Do. Not. Cause. Autism. Snake oil doctors will prefer to continue to hustle to avoid jail.

    I really hope none of the viewers will do anything to harm their children, blinded by the safety of a dwindling herd immunity. Stay safe folks and avoid proagandocumentaries !

    Portrait of an Egomaniac

    The director of this documentary wants you to feel some sympathy for Wakefield. This is a story of a self appointed revolutionary, a man who cares and has been hard done by via the vile medical establishment. In one way Bailey does make an argument for how these people can drive others to complete lunacy. Much like cult leaders the world over. In that respect this film is interesting.

    What I didn't much like was that this documentary neither deeply dives and informs of the truth of the subject or record the actual facts. I felt that at times it does pander to Wakefield and his stupid, selfish actions which he of course claims were done with the best of intentions. Saying that, I did watch it and found merit in what it tries to do.
