Nope. The National Health Service in the UK also uses the MMR vaccine and is a state owned health service. Most European countries have substantial state sectors in healthcare and it seems to be standard to bundle shots together worldwide.
The advantages are obvious: it saves on the number of trips that mothers need to take to the health clinic, reduces the number of injections a baby might have to endure, and there is absolutely no evidence that combining the vaccines has any side-effects.
The Wakefield fiasco was profit driven. His faked results for a current vaccine causing autism happened to turn up after he got the patent for a replacement. A replacement he would market and profit from.
You see when Clayton says something true it hurts his case.
