FactCheck.org rated this: False
FactCheck.org says: There is no evidence that splitting up the MMR vaccine would be safer or save lives. Death from MMR vaccination is exceedingly rare.

“When asked if her plan would outlaw private health insurance for 180 million Americans, (Harris) replied, ‘Let's just eliminate all of it.’”
