Of these 860 comment pieces, 264 made some reference to evidence endorsing the safety of MMR. Around one in 10 were rated as negative (10.9%, n\u200a=\u200a29) or neutral (11.3%, n\u200a=\u200a30) in relation to MMR safety, and nearly a quarter (22.7%, n\u200a=\u200a60) were rated as mixed. Following the publication of Wakefield et al<\/jats:italic>\u2019s 1998 paper there was a period of neutrality. In 2000, despite growing public concerns and widespread media coverage, fewer than 20 comment pieces were published.
