MMR Vaccine Safe

I rarely cite an MSMNC article, given their lefty political bias. This article from MSNBC is apolitical, and it rings down the curtain on the craziness that kept people from vaccinating their children against measles, mumps, and rubella. It turns out the original article in The Lancet that triggered the boycott reported "research" instead of research. Lancet has withdrawn the original Wakefield article. MSNBC says:
The Wakefield paper killed children and left others deaf and disabled from preventable diseases as their parents, in an effort to avoid autism, left them unvaccinated.
