"Leaning heavily" on the IOM report is YOUR characterization, slick, not mine. I was simply pointing out that they at least made an outward effort to be neutral. There are plenty of problems with that report, include their INTERNAL objectivity. That subject (the committee's actual objectivity) was discussed extensively at the congressional hearings in April, 2001.
At least you've acknowledged the report's existence and its call for more research. In this discussion, that's progress.
As for their conclusions, I had my children vaccinated with MMR 10+ years ago. If I had to make that decision today, I might consider the use of single vaccines, if available, pending further research on MMR.
I certainly DO NOT advocate forced vaccination with MMR in the U.S. That kind of mandated social control is your bag, not mine. You're in good company, though....Henry Waxman strongly supports you.
Since there are exemptions granted on a daily basis, you comment is nonsense. Not to mention that, if you home school your kids you don't even need the waiver.
Nice to see you've finally figured out the difference between "rare" and "small".
