Andrew Wakefield's original disputed paper was about the brain-gut-microbiome axis.

Regardless of what you think of Wakefield, and the disservice he (and/or Brian Deer) did with respect to autism and vaccines, an even bigger tragedy to me is that nobody dared to investigate the BGM axis for decades now, for fear of association.

It's good to see it back on the list of acceptable research agendas. Perhaps finally the healing can begin.
