RE: Finish the following sentence: The MMR vaccine causes [BLANK]

Con artist is precisely the term, yes. I think the media, in the UK at least, got their figures burnt for this event. Reporting has got a lot better since. Our role out of the HPV vaccine has been a huge success here, that would almost certainly not have been the case if the media had gone for the hyperbolic reporting of rumours again.

Great to hear that the media has changed its ways a bit. Also in New Zealand there has been some coverage about how the anti-VAXers increase the overall incidence of the disease.
