Jenny McCarthy believes that outbreaks of preventable diseases are not only acceptable but necessary

[SemiCharmedQuark]

This is from April, but I missed it at the time. From her Time Magazine interview:

Time: Your collaborator recommends that parents accept only the haemophilus influenzae type B (HIB) and tetanus vaccine for newborns and then think about the rest. Not polio? What about the polio clusters in unvaccinated communities like the Amish in the U.S.? What about the 2004 outbreak that swept across Africa and Southeast Asia after a single province in northern Nigeria banned vaccines?

McCarthy: I do believe sadly it's going to take some diseases coming back to realize that we need to change and develop vaccines that are safe. If the vaccine companies are not listening to us, it's their f___ing fault that the diseases are coming back. They're making a product that's s___. If you give us a safe vaccine, we'll use it. It shouldn't be polio versus autism.

1. Well if its her kid that dies of measles she might change her story

And fuck this "unsafe" vaccine bullshit. I'm so tired of this. Between the animal rights activists who don't understand why toxicology testing is necessary and fruit loops like her that don't know how safe vaccines really are, scientists can't win.
Dumb bleep.

2. I think it's spelled "froot," and that probably wouldn't make a difference.

She's so far removed from reality that if her kid died of measles or polio or whatever, she'd just accuse some biotech or pharmaceutical co. of intentionally giving the disease to her kid.

3. I like her great big Malthuses

4. Here's hoping she ends up on the wrong side of an outbreak

:toast:

5. Do you think that if she or the other nutty anti-vaxxers

were bitten by a rabid animal they would NOT get the rabies vaccine? I doubt it.

6. Actually if a dog bit Jenny McCarthy, it would be the dog that needed a vaccination

7. Time is the guilty one. Why are they even asking her? nt

8. Hey Jenny, nice tits!

You use your looks and gigantic, enhanced breasts in an attempt to legitimize your "research" because are truly stupid. To many Americans, a celebrity's views are given more credence than those of a scientist, and an attractive celebrity seems to have even more credibility.

Stupid Celebrity + Stupid Americans = Death Children

You fucking nit-wit.

9. Somebody needs to get that woman to STFU.

Her autistic kid is going to be very messed up by this idiot of a mother.
