Video of Dr Wakefield speaking at the annual meeting of the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons. The story is coming out in the US.

Issues that come up of particular note;

The UK government's decision to use Urabe strain MMR despite information showing it to be unsafe.

Information showing Deer's BMJ articles to be defamation.

Info on how the single mumps Urabe vaccine did not cause meningitis in the way the Urabe MMR did - clear evidence of viral interference in combined live vaccines. Posing a serious question over the safety of the MMR vaccines.

How Professor Walker Smith alerted the government to the work at the Royal Free and the potential problem with the MMR in 1996.

How Dr Wakefield wrote a 250 page report on the inadequate safety data on the MMR, to highlight the problem and argue the case for single vaccines.

A copy of the ethics committe approval for the Lancet case report.

Or we could demand more rigorous safety testing perhaps?
Did you read the thread?

EasyToEatTiger, so we can live(and die) with both options. People will weigh up the options and decide which risk they are more comfortable taking and some will come to a different conclusion than others.

I agree with mince, more rigorous safety testing would be nice as well as trying to determine which children are more likely to react and why. This would involve doctors trying to become more accepting of the idea that reactions do actually occur and reporting them.
