The Australian model was speaking last month with Andrew Wakefield, whose discredited research linking the MMR jab and autism made him a pariah. In video footage obtained by the Mail, she is introduced by Wakefield as ‘Elle Macpherson, my girlfriend’ ahead of a US screening of his most recent instalment of anti-vaccination propaganda. Wakefield has dismissed the coronavirus as what he calls ‘WuFlu’, after the city of Wuhan in China, where the pandemic began. Dr Tony O’Sullivan, a retired consultant paediatrician, last night said the spread of anti-vaccination ‘lies’ during the coronavirus pandemic would guarantee ‘the deaths of millions more’. A spokesman for Miss Macpherson was contacted for comment.
