Oh wonderful. A "more fluid concept of evidence" for US health and nutrition research - opening the floodgates of pseudo-science and nutri-bollox, paving the way for vaccine alarmists and conspiracy theorists. These people are seriously dangerous

Measles vaccine is estimated to have saved over 90 million lives since it was introduced. The most life-saving vaccines currently in use. More people should be aware of this.
