A few potential RS

User:Bangalamania, here are a few fairly readily consultable selections that I made based on this GoogleScholar search (I got as far as the bottom of the third page, and there are about 7 more pages you might like to consult).

Heller T (2001). "Ethical debate: Vaccination against mumps, measles, and rubella: is there a case for deepening the debate? How safe is MMR vaccine?". BMJ. 323 (7317): 838–9, discussion 840. PMC 1121387. PMID 11597968. (This article published in the BMJ in 2001 characterized JABS as "the main organisation" for discussions with concerned parents)

(Quote: The National Vaccine Information Center in the United States and the British group JABS (Justice Awareness and Basic Support) are strongly reproached for playing an instrumental role in misinforming the public, misdirecting health resources, engendering spurious controversy, and facilitating declining vaccination rates to levels below those needed for “herd immunity” in some regions by way of their emotional pleas (Fitzpatrick 2004c, 2004d; Offit 2011).)
