  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.
