What definition of "innocent" are we using?

They may not be liable, but they're not innocent.

From my read of your post and that of the parent, the two of you are in agreement on that point.

Yes, carbocation is correct, we are in agreement. The mainstream media still refuses to acknowledge their complicity in all of this. When all of this was going on in the UK, MMR scare stories were front page news but not once did I see a headline on the cover of newspaper proclaiming "MMR Hoax, Sorry My Bad" says . As Goldacre says, it's crazy to think that one man created this entire mess.
