Sure the "peer" review you require is on the long list of side-effects on one of the MMR manufacturer's own packaging. Look it up. The doctors being encouraged

  I will continue to search, but I also want to point out a common misperception: adverse events in the PDR or on product packaging are simply a list of all reported adverse events, with little data to demonstrate causality. Common medications often have dozens to hundreds. Clearly, some of these are valid, but with more rare events it becomes harder to say. This kind of data is important, but should be viewed in context. Some of what you describes sounds a bit like Guillain-Barré Syndrome, but there are some more idiosyncratic elements. Either way, I hope your daughter is safe and feeling better. My point here is not to be argumentative, but I really do feel that as a physician I have a duty to point out that the overwhelming majority of available data suggests that routine vaccines for common childhood illnesses (those recommended by the CDC and NSH) are safe and effective. Clearly, sometimes people have adverse side-effects, but the data support that the risk of a bad outcome is worse without the vaccine than with. Either decision has consequences.

  The side-effects shown on a package of Bayer aspirin are pretty scary, too.
