Amanda Peet Or Jenny McCarthy: Who Would Win In A Cage Fight?

Amanda Peet has just landed on Jenny McCarthy's shit list and she better watch it. We already know Jenny thinks vaccinating children is BULLSHIT. Amanda is on the other side. She told Cookie Magazine that she's pro-vaccine.

Amanda said she did her own research on vaccinations by talking to baby doctors before making a decision on whether or not she was going to prod her kid. She said, "I buy 99 percent organic food for Frankie, and I don't like to give her medicine or put sunscreen on her. But now that I've done my research, vaccines do not concern me. "

She is pissed about the unvaccinated children running around in the world. She thinks we're only safe from viruses if everyone is immunized. She said, "Frankly, I feel that parents who don't vaccinate their children are parasites." Get out of the way people! Here comes Jenny and she's heading right for Amanda!

I don't have kids, so I don't really have an opinion on this vaccination crap. I think I was vaccinated as a child....wait....that explains everything. And I can't wait for Jenny's response in 3...2...

Vaccinations have helped eradicate small pox and polio is almost unheard of in developed countries. That being said, the decision is ultimately left up to the parents. Personally, I hope Amanda gives Jenny a beatdown for being such an annoying cunt.

cry different is a new one on me.. who knows?
he was diagnosed at approx two and half, he was not talking much was slow to walk, like to jabber away in his own language wasn't toilet trained.
he's fine, btw, just great. doing good in school, picking up social skills, he enjoys his life.
course, I wouldn't have it any other way. he has as much of a normal life as possible, and he likes the same stuff other kids do, cartoons, coloring, the internet, garage sales, the pool, you know.

Autism is biologically based but it's believed that there is an environmental trigger(s). No one knows what causes autism. Considering that Thimerosol which is the chemical that was being blamed for causing autism has been removed from all vaccines and the autism rate continues to increase, it isn't likely that vaccines are to blame. The reason vaccines are blamed is because they are given around the time autism is most often diagnosed, however, in hindsight there are often other symptoms of autism before the vaccine was ever given. Parents just need someone or something to hold responsible to avoid having to look at themselves as a potential cause. Also, some people who had ASD type symptoms have functioned in society for a long time and not been diagnosed. Those are the people we often view as odd or quirky. Autism is being caught more frequently because of all of the information about it. Also, some parents actually try to get their kids diagnosed with autism because of the SSI benefits involved. There aren't many of those but there are enough. There's also inexperienced evaluators who diagnose autism and don't know what they're doing because symptoms of autism can actually be other things. I just had to say all of that because I'm a mental health professional and it annoys me when people say incorrect information about autism because other people read it and repeat it.

I saw a news report recently that said that diagnoses of mental retardation have DECREASED in recent years. They speculated that the two are related. Children who were previously thought to be slow are now being CORRECTLY diagnosed as autistic. Interesting theory, that. I think it's selfish, scaredy-cat behavior to not vaccinate your child. Welcome back Measles! Have a seat.

Also, I agree that not using sunscreen on your child is WEIRD. Is that a thing? Are we now worried about effing sunscreen??? She's weighed that against the risk of skin cancer and premature wrinkles and has decided against evil SPF? Really? What a tool.

That is all.

Gold.

I knew a girl in kindergarten who was pulled from school before the end of the school year because her parents refused to vaccinate her -- AND because she had a mad case of lice. Was homeschooled, and knocked up and "emancipated" living in Section 8 housing by 16.

If you don't mind me asking, how old was he when you found out? I've heard that babies with autism have a different sounding cry but I don't know if that's true.

There's no such thing as an over diagnosis, when it comes to autisim.
autisim cannot really be mistaken for anything else, in most cases the signs of autisim are very, very specific, you know what you're dealing with right of the bat.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Does your child have autism?

My cousin and his wife went through a TON of fertility treatments to conceive...and when they finally had a baby...he turned out to be autistic. He's 13 and doing pretty good now...but i wonder if those fertility drugs she took had a hand in his autism.

I vaccinated both my boys....never had a second thought about it.

I agree with her about vaccinations. It is completely irresponsible not to get your child vaccinated, it puts everyone else in danger. It will just bring back all the diseases that had previously been eradicated and then we'll REALLY have a problem. People are so easily frightened and unsure about everything these days. You can't live your life afraid to do anything because there's a chance that it could harm you. The research about this stuff is so iffy you really can't put any faith in it.

the reason vaccines are suspect is because autisim diagnosis occurs right around the time children are getting vaccines..
I am puzzled by the huge increase in autisim, but as you know, I have a vested interest.
yes, my son had all of his. it's the law to get into school.

I agree with whoever said the increase in autism probably has more to do with over diagnosis or just that people are much more aware of the symptoms. I doubt its a sole trigger of autism. I dont know all that much about it, so I might be wrong, just my opinion.

I'm all for vaccines.

I don't think the autism increase has anything to do with vaccines. I think it's because there is a greater awareness of symptoms that probably went ignored in previous decades. Also, I wonder if it's being overdiagnosed now as a form of overcompensation for the past.

************

The current school of thought is that if a child already is pre-disposed to autism, vaccinations might trigger it or worsen it. But vaccinations in an otherwise healthy child will not. Who knows? Research turns up new things all the time.

WTF? no sunscreen? um, there is such a thing as organic mineral sunscreen. I think not putting sunscreen on kids is basically the same as not vaccinating them, especially if you have fair skin like her daughter.

******************

Recent studies show that sunscreen might actually increase the risk of skin cancer. Sun exposure, in moderation, is good for prevention of all sorts of disease. The problem is when people overdo it. Better to keep your child out of direct sunshine than to guck it up with sunscreen.

So you'll vaccinate your kid (ok, great) because you "did your research"...how's the research on SUNSCREEN these days?! I mean, the ozone layer's in GREAT shape, so she should be all set...good God, this is why we should never treat celebrities like smart people.

Vaccinations can trigger an autoimmune disorder if it's already present, so I'd say no vaccinations if you've got a family history of an autoimmune disease or autism. Otherwise, it's the responsible thing to do for both the child and society. My humble two cents.

I'm for vaccines, I just think wait until the child is a little older...the autism increase in recent years is just scary......though I also think it has to do with women having children at a much older age.....

She has a lot of "type A control freak" mixed with "yeah, I think I'm really really hot". Which annoys me.

But at least she vaccinates her kids.

Can someone explain to me what is wrong with protecting your kid against diseases?

I don't have a kid so I don't know where any of this crap came from. When I was a kid (I'm 22) you had to be vaccinated. You didn't want to get Polio or whatever the f-ck those vaccinations are for.

If they both kill each other, the world would win.

On a side note, I never got the appeal of Amanda Peet. She reminds me of some stressed out shift supervisor at Baja Fresh who tells the register people not to put too many napkins in the customers' bags because she has to do inventory.
