Yesterday at a lunch table discussion [View all]

someone brought up RFK's name and how he's trying to remove high fructose corn syrup from foods. I didn't comment on the merits of that idea, just leaned over and said 'RFK is a wing nut' and got an earful for the next 10 minutes about the MMR vaccine and how getting vaccinated caused her diabetes and ...............wow. She's convinced Big Pharma is the cause of all her problems. That may be true but I'm asking the hive mind to help me find evidence showing the effectiveness of the MMR (measles, mumps, rubella) shot. She went on and on about that.
Any places you can point me to?
Thanks.
PS- When our paths cross next I will make amends for butting into her conversation. She was HOT!
