Well, here’s a completely different take on the whole “green vaccines” issue. Actress Amanda Peet, who welcomed daughter Frances ‘Frankie’ Pen to the world 16 months ago, has done her research and is following a regular vaccination schedule for her baby. “There are a lot of misconceptions about the dangers of vaccinations,” the 36-year-old told Cookie magazine. “I found it to just be really sad that so much of the energy is being redirected to the association with vaccinations and autism and it’s taking away the money and the research that needs to go towards the real causes of autism.”
Now, I’m sure there are many of you out there that beg to differ, but Peet feels staggering vaccines or choosing some over others puts the children of other parents at risk. In fact, she’s recently agreed to film some PSAs for “Every Child By Two” — a group that seeks to raise parental awareness of the need for timely infant immunizations.
Oddly, Peet does shun suncreen. “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 says.
I’m light on the issue of babies and sunscreen – but I’m sure there are others that might fill me in. Have at it!
