She said he was very sick for six weeks. <br />He almost certainly got it from someone who hadn't been vaccinated for whooping cough. Apparently not vaccinating one's children was very common among her Hollywood friends.

I'm neither pro-vaccine nor anti-vacci...@Scott<br /><br />I'm neither pro-vaccine nor anti-vaccine, but I plan to start a family in a few years and I've been studying both sides of the debate with my fiancee.<br /><br />From what I've seen, most (not all) anitvaxxers present their arguments reasonably and include some evidence such as links to articles or studies. At the same time, many (not all) pro-vaxxers follow an extremist, moral high ground path where they insult and dismiss antivaxxers as quacks instead of addressing their concerns. You seem to fit this profile. <br /><br />Do you really think you're making any case for vaccination by posting a string of patronizing questions and ridiculing statements?<br /><br />Reading your post gives one the impression that you're so submerged in your beliefs and the status quo that you've lost the ability to think critically about it. <br /><br />If antivaxxers are wrong, why not just engage in debate with them and present your side with all the scientific evidence you refer to? <br /><br />It would certainly give you a lot more credibility from moderate, undecided people like me.<br /><br />I for one would love to read the scientific evidence in favour of vaccination that you refer to. And yes, I'm well aware of what the scientific method is.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2738066875990661293.post-54140914728052158562011-03-23T20:31:01.109-07:002011-03-23T20:31:01.109-07:00Wow!

You guys are crazy over here. <br /><br />Why are you guys so anti-science? <br /><br />Why have you all became delusional and unable to see reality?<br /><br />Its like you want to think of yourselves as the "real" scientific thinkers, but you ignore all the real scientific knowledge.<br /><br />It reminds me of creationist.<br /><br />Do you all realize your arguments mirror the rational of the creationist? <br /><br />Do you accept the scientific method as the main process of gaining knowledge?<br /><br />Do you know what the scientific method is?<br /><br />Do you know how to use critical thinking along with the scientific method to figure stuff out?<br /><br />Why would you ignore to people who do??<br /><br />I'm guessing its because you employ multiple logical fallacies when deciding whats true.<br /><br />You really should stop doing that, it makes your wolrd view look backwards.<br /><br />See ya later, I'm tele-porting back to reality now.

Offit argues that "health-care seeking...@Anne<br /><br />Offit argues that "health-care seeking behavior" could confound the study (Less doctor visits would lead to reduced autism recognition). And perhaps this would make sense in the case of a non-vaccinating family letting a child with a cough fight it off without medical attention. But I doubt someone reluctant about vaccines would at no time seek medical attention for a child displaying symptoms of autism. Regardless, it's strange that science can devise experiments to unravel the mysteries of DNA but cannot account for some possibly confounding variables in regards to a condition affecting so many children.Robert Schecterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17592918924115887297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2738066875990661293.post-76965194516182558062011-03-23T12:15:30.524-07:002011-03-23T12:15:30.524-07:00A comparison study isn't "unethical."...A comparison study isn't "unethical." What's really suspicious is the reluctance of the most vocal vaccine promoter in the world <br />to call for such a study. There are now thousands and thousands of parents out there too scared to vaccinate and they're exempting <br />their children. THE STUDY GROUP IS OUT THERE. If vaccines are so safe and there's absolutely no link to autism---then Offit should be <br />demanding that we look at both groups. If NEVER-VAXED KIDS have the same health problems as FULLY-VAXED KIDS, then the proof would be there<br />for all to see!....If never-vaxed kids also have a one percent autism rate, we could all stop talking. What's Offit afraid a study like this will show?<br /><br />Anne Dachel<br />Media editor: Age of AutismAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2738066875990661293.post-79313264634827535702011-03-23T11:41:53.456-07:002011-03-23T11:41:53.456-07:00Thanks, seems like we have a lot of commenters wit...Thanks, seems like we have a lot of commenters with the same name: AnonymousRobert Schecterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17592918924115887297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2738066875990661293.post-67502633995371137392011-03-23T11:28:06.781-07:002011-03-23T11:28:06.781-07:00Great article, made me lol!Great article, made me lol!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2738066875990661293.post-8381709396367569552011-03-23T10:13:10.226-07:002011-03-23T10:13:10.226-07:00I think one big difference is that Amanda, followi...I think one big difference is that Amanda, following the instructions of vested interests living of the vaccine program, is telling parents what to do, i.e., "Vaccinate your baby" while Jenny is simply relating her experience regarding her experience with vaccines. Additionally Jenny asks that vaccines be made safer. She doesn't insult parents who vaccinate nor does she tell them, "Don't vaccinate your baby" I don't encourage anyone to blindly obey celebrities but I do point out some reason not to follow Peet's advice. I'm sure those on the other side of the debate have spent much time writing about why one should disregard Ms McCarthy.
