Why Japan banned MMR vaccine

MMR is not currently banned in Japan. As outlined in the article, in 1993 they banned a particular type of MMR re-sold from China after a record number of children developed non-viral meningitis. This "MMR which included a strain of mumps vaccine that had particular problems and was discontinued in the UK because of safety concerns".
However due to this scare, the MMR is not mandatory anymore in Japan. This, of course, has lead to record number of deaths from measles. "With vaccination rates low, there have been measles outbreaks which have claimed 94 lives in the last five years."
It is shameful that the leading lefty promoters of "climate change" as "science" are the first to deny the settled science about the positive effects of vaccines across society.
This is what the Japanese Health Ministry said ten years after the ban.

Feb 8, 2002 - Japan's Health Ministry says the withdrawal of the MMR vaccine for children did not cause an increase in deaths from measles.
This is about as backward as it gets. The truth is the promoters of mandatory vaccines are the same people as the global warming hoaxers. I'd be willing to bet the correlation is near 1. And the exact same tactics. Everything from the everybody agrees schtick all the way to the other side shouldn't be allowed to talk about this or they oughta be put in jail. That actually doesn't remind you of the global warming hoaxers?
I can name an entire list of Hollywood types who promote this vaccines cause autism nonsense who also promote "climate change".
Sadly there are people on the right who also promote this vaccines promote autism nonsense. In my view these people are ignorant and a danger to society.
