Diseases Coming Back, Thanks to Anti-Vaxers

Let’s see - uninformed politicians spewing garbage. Uninformed B list celebrities pushing uninformed nonsense and needlessly putting millions of American kids’ health at risk. It’s garbage all the way around, and Tancredo would be better served getting informed by medical experts than listening to the anti-vax crowd.

Who would you rather believe? Jenny McCarthy and her shrill campaign proffered by the anti-vax campaigners or some stodgy doctor with years of clinical experience and medical facts on his side?

More and more are going with the touchy feely McCarthy nonsense because they would rather feel that they’re doing the right thing than know that they’re protecting their kids against an unseen menace of easily preventable communicable diseases.

And Oprah is complicit in all this by pushing McCarthy further into the spotlight. Ditto for Larry King and anyone else who thinks that McCarthy has even a shred of reliability on the issue of autism and vaccinations.
