Andrew Wakefield and Crohn's Disease

In March 1995, Wakefield filed for a patent for a test that would detect Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis by finding measles, virus and the bowel tissue. Two years later, Andrew Wakefield drew up a business scheme to present two investors. In it, he suggested using his patented tests to create a company that would make enormous profits from running these tests. The anticipated annual income topped 72 million pounds per year. There is, however, no evidence of a link between vaccination inCrohn's disease.
