when faced with getting my kids immunised or not i asked 4 doctors Have they had their children immunised or would they? They all said of course, they only people who wouldnt are the ill informed claiming to be informed.
It's a bit of a myth that only people easily scared by tabloid nonsense had fears.
That's from 2006 with direct quotes from a former Chief Scientific Officer who had doubts himself. You have to set all this against a background of the prevalence of measles being much reduced back then so a relatively small chance of a child catching it if a parent delayed vaccination.
