jenny mccarthy wants your kid to get measles: autism, vaccines, and stupid idiots

Con-Con

Someone just started a pointlessly shit-stirring anti-vax thread in my facebook neighborhood parents group, combining two horrible things (neighborhood fb groups and anti-vax). She coyly opened with "Is your child going to get flu vaccine?" Of course about 95% parents said "yes of course" which is reassuring. Then she and a couple of her minions gradually circled closer and closer until they started spouting the garbage, including one parent who posted an un-bylined "paper" which turned out to be...her own "research."

Jessica Biel and Justin Timberlake are going to have to home-school their kid now.
The celebrity couple is said to be making the decision to not vaccinate their 7-month-old son, Silas. "She feels that vaccination could cause complications," a friend of the couple told In Touch Weekly. "I'm sure Jessica believes that she's making the right decision, but hopefully she and Justin will do some more research on this and change their minds."
Biel and Timberlake seemed to have joined the ranks of celebrities that are wary of vaccinations, though they have not previously been known to have spoken out against them. Hopefully Jessica Biel and Justin Timberlake will make sure Silas doesn't hang around Kristin Cavallari and Jay Cutler's kids so he doesn't get whopping cough.
Earlier this summer, Governor Jerry Brown signed a law that would require children who attended daycares or schools (even those that were privately-run) to be vaccinated, eliminating personal belief or religious exemptions. In Los Angeles areas where the rich and famous tend to live and have families—the Westside, Malibu, WeHo, Beverly Hills—schools exhibited some of the lowest vaccination rates in the state last year.

never would have guessed that jessica biel was an idiot

good point

Girl I had been seeing just shared one of these links. I had considered resuming things after our hiatus but no way now.

Also her kids have been in the ER twice in three months.

There needs to be an immediate embargo on this shit. It is bad enough that those Son-rise cranks aren't banned in this country. Seriously fuck right off American quackery.

With Zika folklore and science swirling around, Backstory's resident professional historians, guesting public health pros, and callers discuss old school antivax (re smallpopx), also "bodily integrity" antivaxxers in 50s-60s (re polio etc.), and how these relate to current trends, posted on soundcloud via this link:

"smallpopx"? jeez, what a cereal killer---smallpox! The deadliest contagion ever, claims one guest.

Robert De Niro Defends Screening of Anti-Vaccine Film at Tribeca Festival

It isn't like De Niro even has a reputation to protect but wtf

shut down

http://variety.com/2016/film/markets-festivals/tribeca-film-anti-vaccination-1201739937/

“My intent in screening this film was to provide an opportunity for conversation around an issue that is deeply personal to me and my family,” De Niro said in a statement. “But after reviewing it over the past few days with the Tribeca Film Festival team and others from the scientific community, we do not believe it contributes to or furthers the discussion I had hoped for.”

How someone with a son of 18 years with a diagnosis of autism, only just realises that Andrew Wakefield is a fucking idiotic lunatic is staggering to me and I don't buy any of that fucking bullshit.

"i thought ppl wd be cool with this bullshit movie bc hollywood has a lot of scientifically illiterate shitheads but i guess ppl werent rly cool with it so fuck it bye de niro out."

Out of a sense of perverse curiosity, I... I read the comments. ;_;

^^^ it's like that on absolutely every story involving vaccines. incredibly, uniquely depressing

"There is a link and they say there isn't. The obvious one is thimerosal which is a mercury based preservative. I am not a scientist. But I know. Let's just find out the truth," De Niro said.

Insane sentence of the week.

rdn: less than just a paycheck actor

"I am not a scientist. But..." prefaces terrible nonsense by idiots 100% of the time

or possibly also insane clown posse lyrics

Shut Up and Scowl

Isnt that DeNiro quote from before he corrected his stance having done the decent thing and gone and found out the facts?

haha amazing xp

the "obvious one" isn't even in vaccines anymore

Researchers have been unable to find evidence thimerosal in vaccines can damage human brains, but drugmakers took it out of all childhood vaccines anyway years ago because of the fears.

Isnt that DeNiro quote from before he corrected his stance having done the decent thing and gone and found out the facts?
--Interesting. No, wait, the other thing: tedious. (Trayce)

It's from Today show..... today.

Oh ok fair enough. Thought he'd been reneducated but apparently not. Has anyone pointed out to the bozo that thimerosol was removed from vaccines years ago?

"De Niro said Wednesday he now regrets pulling a controversial film called "Vaxxed: From Cover-Up to Conspiracy" from the Tribeca film Festival."

Oh FFS.

Six cases of measles confirmed in Tennessee outbreak. Measles was eradicated in the U.S. in 2000.

We had a whooping cough outbreak at one of the private Catholic schools by here a few weeks back, maybe 16 kids, not necessarily due to skipped vaccinations but because those vaccines can and do often wear off. And then when some asshole who *did* skip the vaccine brings whooping cough to school, it's not just old people and babies who might be at risk, but otherwise healthy and vaccinated teens who, little do they know, are no longer immune.

This raises a point - do we push re-vaccinating like we do childhood ones? I have to tell you apart from rubella and tetanus I dont think Ive had a single re-done shot after the age of about 14.

Careful, I've heard that re-vaccinating can lead to brain damage in adults, leading victims to believe in things like vaccination conspiracies.
