As much as Jenny McCarthy makes me crazy...

... this post in Basil and Spice gets enough wrong in her evaluation of the Time article that I wondered what she was reading.  The author inferred the possibility of Landau-Kleffner, and even though she doesn't blame MMR specificially, she is still part of the green vaccine movement and still blames the vaccine load.  Same difference to me.  Lordy, way to be heavy handed on the other side.


"An article this week in Time Magazine inferred that her son, Evan, had a different neurologic disorder (Landau-Kleffner syndrome)—NOT AUTISM.  Take a look here for a nice summary in Hollywood Life.   According to their report, Ms McCarthy has reversed her position and now does not believe that the MMR vaccine was the cause of her child's developmental problems.
If this is true, her kid never had autism at all and she's suddenly changed her mind about vaccines. OK. The only problem is, there's a lot of blood on her hands. I'd like her give a public apology or have her volunteer for a public service campaign on vaccines with the CDC. It won't take back all the damage she has done, but it would at least it would show that she had some acknowledgment of personal responsibility. A small article in Hollywood Life is not enough, lady. But,what am I thinking? She's a celebrity. She has no personal responsibility."

She doesn't need to apologize to anyone and for anything and the only person she is responsible for is her own child.

Oh, I know. The author even failed to disclosed that some of her work had been eviscerated by Generation Rescue, which Jenny is active in. Dr. Ari what's her name is hardly without an agenda.

Wow, that's a serious change of mind after you've influenced so many people, possibly for the worse.

She does owe her public something more. It's not as if she just switched from Pepsi to Coke.
