I could not disagree more. There are many reasons that MMR is given as one shot. Separating it out means:
-Babies more vulnerable to preventable disease for no reason
-Three times as many doc visits
-Three times more shitty days for baby
-Three times more copays
-Three times more work absences
-Babies more vulnerable to preventable disease for no reason
-Three times as many doc visits

Better 3 monovalent vaccines than no vaccines at all.
Perfect is the enemy of the good.
