We're on MMR. Any thoughts/suggestions/experiences that I could get as part of my knowledge journey? Wife and I are knee deep in side affects, lawsuits, fetal cells etc... We've dodged quite a bit, trying to stick to the 1983 schedule for vaccinations, however this one has us nervous.

Don’t be afraid to shop docs until you find one that will do what YOU wanna do. It is a free country after all.
In my area you can’t just “dr shop”. If you have a pediatrician and you decide to go to another office, you have to show proof you have moved. I was told the local pediatricians got together and decided on this to prevent parents from leaving a practice because they disagreed with the dr.
I tried to leave mine. Didn’t go well.
Uh, say what?? Where is this a law?
Yes please explain
There is no law.
I tried to move my daughter to a different local pediatrician and was told that unless we had moved, they wouldn’t take her because she already had an existing local pediatrician. When I told them I didn’t like him and wanted to book a consultation to interview a new pediatrician to take my daughter, they refused. They said it is common local practice to not allow dr hopping of local patients.
My daughter has special needs and I didn’t like the lackadaisical approach my current pediatrician had at that time.
I tried one other practice before I gave up because what a damn racket. I get that they don’t want parents leaving doctors simply because they don’t like the diagnosis but at least give me a chance to talk to another local dr about it as a consultation.
I’ve fought a ton of battles including my own state for her cannabis oil. I had about enough and let that battle go.
