So you've failed to read Private Eye, and yet claim that you know they
got it wrong about MMR?

Interesting, very interesting.

That's a novel approach to evidence based conclusions, that is.

So since you've not actually read the Eye's full coverage of the MMR
issue, how are you so sure that they got it completely wrong?

Fantastic! That one simple idea explains so many behaviours I've
perpetrated, and have seen others perpetrate, throughout my life. Makes
a shedload of sense.

The government did not refuse permission for parents to choose a
different treatment.

Despite my own research into MMR and its safety, my wife got spooked by
the Wakefield Doubt and refused to allow our kids to have the triple
vaccination. At least she accepted my stand on the much higher risks
associated with not being vaccinated, so we sourced the separate
vaccinations and had them administered. We were not breaking any laws
doing this, the government did not refuse permission.

It's so rare to find such a simple key that unlocks so many puzzles.

I can only think of natural selection for an explanatory theory equally
simple and powerful.

I'd read the book if I were you - it's a lot better than my review.
