Has MMR damaged our children?

Science may well dictate that it's safe, but then science also says that there's theoretically no way a bumblebee can fly - but we all know it does.

I know that my eldest changed after hers. Coincidence? Maybe, but I will not take another risk, just in case it isn't.

I am disgusted that parents have no choice in this issue, especially as a huge question mark hangs over its safety. Other drugs have been withdrawn after merest hints about their safety - why then are they continuing to refuse us a choice?

Not only that, but the refusal to offer separate vaccines is simply having the effect of re-introducing diseases, as parents don't want to take the risk.
