  You're kind to say that, but I literally just meant it was interesting. I don't know how reliable it is. I search for things debunking the endocrine disruptor claim and found it, and it didn't ring any credibility alarm bells.

From that article... >measles-mumps-rubella (MMR) vaccine, linked, by a sketchy and quickly refuted study, to autism. The supposed connection made a bigger impression than the refutation, and, while I didn’t actually know anyone who failed to get their children immunized for MMR, plenty of parents did refuse the shot; According to Andrew Wakefield, what he suggested was just that people use single, separate shots instead of the cocktail MMR vaccine. And then people started switching to single shots and sale of MMR dropped, which made the government (or someone forced them as he says) stopping the import of single vaccines and thereby depriving people of that option...According to him, then and only then did the vaccination rates dropped.

  Andrew Wakefield is not a credible source on one single thing. Not only do you not have a source, I would want a secondary corroborating reliable source.

    Ok. >5. The UK had a single dose measles vaccine program since 1967. The single rubella and mumps vaccines became available in the early seventies. The MMR vaccine was introduced in 1988. When parents started requesting the monovalent vaccines in increasing numbers, the DOH decided in August 1998 to withdraw their license. Those who could afford it crossed the Channel to get their children vaccinated or purchased the single vaccines at private clinics. http://www.bmj.com/rapid-response/2011/10/30/mmr-and-single-measles-mumps-and-rubella-vaccines-real-facts http://www.bmj.com/rapid-response/2011/10/30/mmr-and-single-...
