"A major British medical journal on Tuesday retracted a flawed study linking the measles, mumps and rubella vaccine to autism and bowel disease. The retraction by The Lancet comes a day after a competing medical journal, BMJ, issued an embargoed commentary calling for The Lancet to formally retract the study. The commentary was to have been published on Wednesday. "

put Jenny McCarthy in a line, indeed.


But yay. Finally. I suppose now the anti-vaxxers will team up with the "expelled" folks and start screaming even louder about intellectual freedom and oppression and the like.

There have been few studies that link immunizations with autism, and for years scientists and medical professionals have spoken out about the overall safety and necessity of vaccinating your children. But voices like Jenny McCarthy's and other celebrity spokespeople get a lot more screen time and volume than those; I don't imagine that a formal retraction of a study will do much to deter anyone who believes it, kids still won't get immunized, and autism will still exist.

Jenny McCarthy is the girl with big jugs who picks her nose on tv and married that guy who did the movie where he talked out of his butt, right?

Where did she go to grad school?

it just can't be something wrong you did during your pregnancy
or
something in your genes you didn't take the chance to research beforehand (not that most people do that very in depth)

it just has to be something a stranger did to your baby

^ The sad thing is people actually believe that. That's why ob-gyn malpractice insurance is retardedly high.

My son, who suffers from a primary immune deficiency, is not considered "daycare worthy" for the simple fact that many parents choose not to vaccinate their children and my son is physically incapable of receiving "live" vaccines and must rely on "herd immunity."

Parents who don't vaccinate their children against life threatening disease really annoy the crap out of me.
