... when people listen to Jenny, children die. It's really that simple.

The title above is a quote from one of my favorite medical blogs, Whitecoat Underground. PalMD is very informative, so give him a look. He also writes for Science-based Medicine, also very good.

Whitecoattales suggests we contact Oprah about her monumentally bad idea of giving Jenny McCarthy a television venue for mindless/braindead rantings. So I put my two cents in. Let her know the mistake she is making.

I've asked this question before: If these anti-vaxxers don't trust medical science and scientists, then in order to be satisfied, whom do they think will do the research to come up with the "safe" vaccines they say they will support? How will they know when these "safe" vaccines are developed? How will they know they work? Where will the money come from to fund this all-important research? (Hey, Jim C.--how about coughing up a few hundred million for this? Sorta put your money where your mouth is, you ignorant fuck.) And lastly, how many children have to suffer in the meantime? She thinks this suffering is the "price we have to pay." Any of you have small children? Do you think this is a reasonable price?

Weigh in!
