Mom was a wonderful person. It was the '70s, before anyone could connect with others and ask questions. She was told by the doctor that my adverse reaction was a fluke, and she believed him. It's really that simple. When I was in high school, she did tell me that I had a high fever and that is what damaged that part of my brain. When my daughter was born, I was aware of the correlation of the MMR and autism, and at the time we just prayed over our baby daughter and fortunately she turned out fine. I had expressed my misgivings about the MMR, and it was then that Mom mentioned about my "fluke" reaction. It wasn't until after then that I started tuning into Infowars and learning that it was not just the MMR, but many vaccines that cause problems. I did not know. Mom did not know. Thanks for insulting my mom though, btw.
