Amazon and Apple are facing calls to remove an anti - vaccination documentary directed by former employee Andrew Wakefield from their iTunes and Amazon Instant Video services . Wakefield was struck off in 2010 for making false claims linking the measles , mumps and rubella vaccine with autism . Scientists fear that the “ Vaxxed ” film , which is also available on Vimeo , will undermine vaccination programmes in Europe . The film has made $ 1.1 m at the box office so far and , after a showing in London this week , will be distributed around the UK . It alleges that data was covered up linking vaccines with autism. A showing at the Tribeca Film Festival in New York was cancelled last week .
