The again, maybe you won’t. Being wrong and disproven by REAL science hasn’t really stopped any other celebrities from spouting idiocy.

Woah! Talk about timing. I read this post right as Jenny came on the tv next to me. She is now pimping out some fitness game for the Wii.
A picture would have made this much more interesting. And I don't mean one of Andrew Wakefield.
I'm all for Jenny's tits! Her insane theories? Not so much.
Yeah, her tits won't do much for me – but it amazes and frightens me how the general public will leech onto these clown's every word like they were somebody who knew something.
Jenny McCarthy still drives my blood pressure through the frickin' ROOF. I'm tempted to take the “ask me about autism” bumper sticker off my car every time someone starts the conversation, “I just saw an interview with Jenny McCarthy…” AAAAAAA!!!!!!
As a mother of a child with autism I can identify with Jenny. I've met her and she has not expressed anit vaccination. She is more with spreading the vaccines out instead of bombarding our children all at once with them.
I HAD a normal developing child.
SOMETHING went horrribly wrong along the way. What I don't know. I've done everything under the sun and every damn”silver bullet” that was going to cure my son from his prison of autism to avail.
She has helped bring this disorder to light. Some chilren can be recovered. some cannot.
I love my son and all he has taught me. Do not judge until you have walked in our path.
Not judging you at all, but you are wrong about Jenny McCarthy. I feel for both you and her, but she is one of the biggest anti-vaccine advocates out there, and she has publicly stated as such in many, many public appearances.
That is dangerous and irresponsible, and none of it is based in science. The supposed link between vaccines and autism has been thoroughly debunked, and still Jenny McCarthy spoke out against vaccines, as if her beliefs were based on scientific research.
Well, the man who produced that “research” has proven to be an unconscionable charlatan who faked his results to make money.
Maybe Jenny is changing her tune now? I don't know. I just know when I met
her at one of the TACA (talk about curing autism) functions she was more for
spacing vaccines and diet changes. For some kids the diet change is a
miracle and for those kids like mine it does nothing.
Thanks for reminding me about that “Dr” that made up findings. I get so
bombarded with so many different opinions, studies and the “latest thing
that will cure my kid” that I can't remember it all.
You know, the medical community would get a lot more leverage on this if they would practice what they preach. Don't get my wrong, this was bad science, it has rightly been debunked. There are probably a thousand causes for autism, halting all childhood vaccinations won't help much if at all. (Though I do think there are kids that have conditions that make some or even all vaccinations unwise or dangerous, that we give vaccines WAY too much leeway, and that folks on both extremes spend so much time shouting at each other that the reasonable folks in the middle can hear ourselves talking about solutions.)
But for years docs pushed HRT for menopause, back surgery for back pain, bone marrow transplant for advanced breast cancer, the list goes on and on. They just KNEW it had to work. Fought tooth and nail at the merest suggestion of actually studying, because it would be “unethical” to do double blind/placebo control research. Denying “known” cures and all that. But it turns out the folks that didn't get treated were better off. HRT has mostly been debunked in the mind of the general public. But some oncologists still insist bone marrow transplant is the way to go, and there are plenty of surgeons out there more than happy to start knifing around your spine without giving things like intense physical therapy a try.
And don't get me started on Obstetrics.
I am not referring to you specifically with all of this, again just want to make that clear. But I think that a bit more evidence based medicine practiced by medical professionals would be a refreshing change from the usual calling of anyone who questions any vaccine for any reason a moronic poo-poo brain.
Jenny McCarthy stated this in an interview –
“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.”
Jenny McCarthy on Autism and Vaccines

She does not know what she is talking about. What kind of moron would prefer deadly diseases to vaccines?
For more information on the topic, including dozens of studies of vaccines, which happen to be some of the most studied medicines available, read this topic overview – Vaccines and Autism from Science-Based Medicine. This is written by doctors who understand the research, not by a stripper who gets Botox injections, while ignorantly claiming that vaccines are full of toxins.
There is no shortage of research on vaccines. Anybody who claims otherwise is either demonstrating that they do not know what they are talking about, or they are lying.
What is the url for the information which “thoroughly debunks” the link between vaccines and autism, and who funded the study?
In the statement Rogue Medic posted below, Jenny is asking for a SAFE vaccine. What's wrong with that? Or have we gotten so used to getting prescription medicines with pages of side effects that we think it's the norm?
Jenny McCarthy has no idea what a safe vaccine is. She has no understanding of medicine.
Vaccines are safe. If you had followed the link I posted there are dozens of studies on the safety of vaccines. The studies have many different funding sources.
Andrew Wakefield was funded by the lawyers working for the parents of his 12 children in his fraudulent study.
Andrew Wakefield was also promoting an alternative vaccine.
The only evidence of any improper financial incentive is by Andrew Wakefield.
There are no valid studies showing any connection between vaccines and autism.
For the studies of vaccines, funded by different countries, different non-profit organizations, different universities, and different drug companies, the link is at Science-Based Medicine. There is a thorough discussion of the topic by real doctors on the page Vaccines and Autism.
Andrew Wakefield is a liar and a child abuser.
Anyone who would subject children to unnecessary spinal taps, just to make some money in a fraudulent law suit is a child abuser. Anyone who claims that vaccines are not safe, but defends these unnecessary spinal taps does not begin to understand safety.
Andrew Wakefield belongs in prison.
How many children have become sick because of his fraud?
How many children have died because of his fraud?

Rebecca, ditto to Rogue Medic's reply. There is zero, nada, zilch, NOTHING to link vaccines to autism.
And the only study that did point out a link was done by the disgraced Dr. Andrew Wakefield, who faked his results.
Incidentally, that study was funded in part by solicitors representing parents who believed MMR vaccines had harmed their children.
In other words, Andrew Wakefield skewed his research in favor of the people who paid his bills – people who believed vaccines were harmful.
