I’m at a well attended anti-vaccine meeting in Monsey, New York. One speaker, Rabbi Hillel Handler, claims that getting measles, mumps and chicken pox reduces the risk of cancer, heart disease and stroke by 60%. No citation given.

Yes, he was there! His main argument was that the outbreak may be due in part to "vaccine-strain measles," a mutated form of the virus that isn't affected by the vaccine, or a bad lot of vaccines. Didn't provide any evidence, simply cited a lack of evidence to the contrary.

He also heavily implied (without outright stating) that some ingredients in the MMR vaccine are capable of crossing the blood-brain barrier.
