The MMR was never controversial. It suffered at the hands of a quack, wilfully bad research, credulous newspapers who made money off lurid headlines and other moral cowards who preferred to “both-sides” the debate rather than seriously engaging with the issue.
The controversy was not the MMR, but rather the lamentable way misinformation about it was given credibility and allowed to spread in ways that had real-world effects in the lives of children who suffered, and in some cases died, as a result.
