“So thanks a lot, anti-vaccine parents. You took an ethical stand against big pharma and the autism your baby was not going to get anyway, and, by doing so, killed some babies and gave me, an otherwise healthy 31-year-old woman, the whooping cough in the year 2013. I understand your wanting to raise your own children as you see fit, science be damned, but you’re selfishly jeopardizing more than your own children. Carry your baby around in a sling, feed her organic banana mash while you drink your ethical coffee, fine, but what gives you denialists the right to put my health at risk”

I’ve Got Whooping Cough. Thanks A Lot, Jenny McCarthy.  (via thenewrepublic)

At the gym where I exercise they like to show The View on the suspended television in the corner. Recently The View hired Jenny McCarthy as one of their hostesses /celebrities/whatever you call it. I think about her antivaxxer stance whenever I see her come on the screen, and it makes me feel an emotion made of various portions of sorrow, disgust, and anger.
