Rrrrrachel, you're the one who is confused. That isn't a scientific study you've linked, it's just a Pharma-funded article by Brian Deer--and the parents quoted have gone on record saying he misrepresented everything. It's also worth...

I would also wonder how many got titers tested, and realized they didn't need the shot. (But Merck and the Pharma-funded press would still call them "eligible to receive the MMR.")

No, actually, that's not how scientists say there's no link. I suggest you talk to one. The researchers, epidemiologists, and attorneys I have talked to all say that studies are set up to show whatever conclusion the funding...
