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.

I would back up and think about why you go to the pediatrician to begin with. Nary an appt scheduled except well baby visits that typically only coincide with vax schedule? If your child is healthy and growing normally you hardly need a Dr. or nurse to measure head and length, weigh, and interpret growth charts. Many common child illnesses like pinkeye can be diagnosed via telemedicine, too. Just some food for thought. If you plan on public school and vax exemptions are allowed, consider that, too. You pay their mortgage when you take a healthy child in for no real reason.
As for research, liked Dr. Tenpenny and of course Wakefield.
