Van wie was Elle Macpherson?

Eleanor Nancy Macpherson (Killara, 29 maart 1964) is een Australisch fotomodel en actrice, haar bijnaam is "the body" (het lichaam).

Ze werd ontdekt tijdens een vakantie in het Amerikaanse Aspen, Colorado. Daar werd ze door Click Model Management gespot en meteen gecontracteerd. Later werd ze wereldberoemd toen ze in Elle magazine ging poseren. Ze wilden haar graag hebben, vanwege haar schoonheid, uitstraling en het bijkomende toeval dat zij luistert naar de naam Elle.

Toen ze 21 was trouwde ze met Gilles Bensimon, een Franse fotograaf. Daarna werd ze nog bekender nadat haar was gevraagd om deel te nemen aan een badmodespecial voor Sports Illustrated magazine. Van dat magazine stond ze viermaal op de cover, wat een record is. Dit lukte haar zelfs drie jaar achtereen. Ook dat is een record.

In 1994 speelde ze in de film Sirens waarin ook Hugh Grant en Tara Fitzgerald figureerden. Ze verraste haar fans door meerdere malen naakt in beeld te verschijnen. Alle vrouwen die in de film meespeelden waren overigens naakt te aanschouwen. Bij Macpherson viel het vooral op omdat ze 9 kilogram was aangekomen en haar borsten daardoor groter waren geworden tot een D-cup. Dat gegeven leverde in mei 1994 een fotoreportage in Playboy op.

Uit een relatie met Arpad Busson heeft ze twee zoons. In augustus 2013 trouwde ze met Jeffrey Soffer.

Andrew Jeremy Wakefield (born 3 September 1956) is an English fraudster, anti-vaccine activist, and former senior surgeon. He was struck off the medical register for "serious professional misconduct" due to his involvement in the fraudulent 1998 Lancet MMR autism study that falsely claimed a link between the measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccine and autism.

The publicity surrounding the study caused a sharp decline in vaccination uptake, leading to a number of outbreaks of measles around the world and many deaths as a result. He was a surgeon on the liver transplant programme at the Royal Free Hospital in London, and became a senior lecturer and honorary consultant in experimental gastroenterology at the Royal Free and University College School of Medicine. He resigned from his positions there in 2001 "by mutual agreement", then moved to the United States. In 2004, Wakefield co-founded and began working at the Thoughtful House research centre (later renamed the Johnson Center for Child Health and Development) in Austin, Texas. He served as executive director of the centre until February 2010, when he resigned in the wake of findings against him by the British General Medical Council which had struck him off their register. He has subsequently become known for his anti-vaccination activism.

Wakefield published his 1998 paper on autism in the British medical journal The Lancet, claiming to have identified a novel form of enterocolitis linked to autism. However, other researchers were unable to reproduce his findings, and a 2004 investigation by Sunday Times reporter Brian Deer identified undisclosed financial conflicts of interest on Wakefield's part. Wakefield reportedly stood to earn up to $43 million per year selling test kits. Most of Wakefield's co-authors then withdrew their support for the study's interpretations, and the General Medical Council (GMC) conducted an inquiry into allegations of misconduct against Wakefield and two former colleagues, focusing on Deer's findings.

In 2010, the GMC found that Wakefield had been dishonest in his research, had acted against patients' best interests, mistreated developmentally delayed children, and had "failed in his duties as a responsible consultant". The Lancet fully retracted Wakefield's 1998 publication on the basis of the GMC's findings, noting that elements of the manuscript had been falsified and that the journal had been "deceived" by Wakefield. Three months later, Wakefield was struck off the UK medical register, in part for his deliberate falsification of research published in The Lancet. In a related legal decision, a British court held that "[t]here is now no respectable body of opinion which supports [Wakefield's] hypothesis, that MMR vaccine and autism/enterocolitis are causally linked".

In 2016, Wakefield directed the anti-vaccination film Vaxxed: From Cover-Up to Catastrophe.
