I have met 2 mothers (both fairly local to Accy), in the last 10 years who lost their first child to measles. These women weren't foreigners, they where white, British, and had always lived in this country.
The original research for MMR was heavily flawed, so much so that many of the researchers have distanced themselves from it, at least one of the researchers has faced proceedings by his professional body.
New research (Rodgers, C. 2006) is now linking too many Ultrasound scans in pregnancy with Autism.... Will this stop people from having scans? I don't think so....
Vaccination is a personal decision but one which needs to thoroughly weigh the pros and cons of the relevant research and not rely on the media's sensationalist interpretation of the research.
