A sequel to disgraced British doctor Andrew Wakefield's anti-vaccine film is reportedly being secretly prepared for release in venues across the US.

Mr Wakefield, who was struck from the British medical register over a discredited paper suggesting a possible link between the MMR vaccine and autism, has continued to promote his views in America, where he now lives.

The Telegraph revealed in May that Mr Wakefield has been fundraising for a follow-up to his controversial 2016 film "Vaxxed: From Cover-Up to Catastrophe". The film was removed from streaming sites such as Amazon Prime Video earlier this year after an outcry from US lawmakers who are attempting to tackle America's worst measles outbreak in more than two decades.

It has now emerged that the second documentary, entitled "Vaxxed II: The People's Truth", will be released in early November in around 50 locations with the details remaining a closely guarded secret to avoid attempts to block it from being screened.
