Is the MMR safer if it’s split into three separate vaccines? Not necessarily.
“I do not see these viruses really as a strong threat,” says Brian Hooker, Ph.D., Chief Scientific Officer at Children’s Health Defense.
Hooker explains why he believes the risks of the individual vaccines still outweighs the benefits, even when the combination shot is separated.
The bigger message for parents: do your own research and make the decision for your own child. Don’t blindly accept any recommendation simply because it comes from a pediatrician.
As for the recent executive order and the move toward separating vaccines? We’ll take a baby step over no step at all.
