Jenny McCarthy on 'The View'

The thing anti-vaccination people never seem to understand is that their position is irrelevant.

Even if they do cause Autism, which they don't, they're still one of the greatest inventions mankind has ever thought up. Even if everything they ever said is true people should still get vaccines anyway.

The Anti-Vac crowd is like someone arguing against eating because it might give you heartburn.

One problem is that a lot of people were born in an age when vaccines had already done their job quite well and reduced the frequency of many serious disease. If you can't see a problem it doesn't exist. That's a very human cognitive flaw. But of course most of these diseases are not gone. They're still lurking. If we stop the vaccinations they'll be back.

I have never been vaccinated and I've made it to 24 years old without a problem...

I hate the View. Every time I've channel surfed and paused on it, it just seems like competition of who can interrupt and talk over others enough to get their point heard. I don't know anything about Jenny McCarthy other than that she was in playboy, which makes her seem an odd choice for a show that tackles serious issues.

Cindy Crawford was also in Playboy and she's literally a genius.

LOL "tackles serious issues" at best they kick timely issues around a little bit and then leave them by the side of the road to die a slow and painful death.

LOL @ people who get butthurt over her anti-vaccine crusade. Last time I checked, parents can do whatever they want with their kids. People always get outraged when someone has a different view on this issue because they'd like to think they know what's best for everyone since they're a parent or work in the medical field. Sit down and shut up.... nothing she says is "dangerous" because you don't have to heed her advice --- isn't that amazing! Celebrities push all sorts of agendas... you don't have to feel threatened by that if you don't want to. Stop being weak MFs. I also love how parents feel so strongly about this issue yet most kids nowadays are overweight, inactive, and are fed chemical-laden food by their parents. You want to be proactive over your child's health then go the full course. Vaccinating your child and then feeding them disease causing food makes you look just as ignorant as the anti-vaccine hippy.

This isn't about respecting people with a different viewpoint, bro. This is about kids getting sick and dying. Parent's CANNOT do whatever they want with their kids. This is like those bull**** religious nuts that don't get their kids help because they "don't believe" in medicine.

She absolutely says dangerous things. Not everyone does their research and realizes that the studies she sites are complete bull****.

And "vaccinating your children and then feeding them disease causing food"? I'd love to see your sources on that.

I have never been vaccinated and I've made it to 24 years old without a problem...

That's because everyone around you was vaccinated and you therefore haven't been exposed to these diseases. Care to take a walk through a room full of Polio Patients?

I've been to India twice, and at least 10 other countries, including many thirld-world ones, so I have been around many people who were not/could not affird to be vaccinated. My parents focused on a healthy diet/lifestyle to keep my immune system strong.

I didn't watch her on there but I know she's pretty radical. Her kid is autistic I think and attributes it to the shots they got? Not sure but I think the jist. My wife and I don't do the normal schedule of shots. Too much crap going in your baby at once isnt good. We spread them out and do just one at a time.

They do believe that there may be a link between vaccinations and children being auristic. The vaccination decision should be left to the child's parents.
