Three cheers for Amanda Peet for having the balls to say something so un P.C.! Would all of you anti-vaccine folks still choose not to vaccinate your baby if you were in a country filled with Polio victims? Give me a break. The only reason why they don’t vaccinate is because everyone else around them DOES. “Parasite” is the PERFECT word for it. And PLEASE do your research, People! Look at countries where vaccines are optional. You will see autism rates are the same. Parents who don’t vaccinate their children have the same rates of autism as those who do.

I think Ms. Peet’s statement is frightening as is any health care provider or organization that would impose potentially harmful tactics for the good of the many. When it comes to my child, the good of the many do not outweigh the good of the one! What would happen if we were more conscientious about our health as a nation? If breastfeeding for the first two years of life was simply the norm? If vaccinations occurred because they were truly needed, making us rely more on our healthy and capable systems: emotional, physical, neurological, immune, etc.

Maybe when there is more money and effort to research this controversial topic will we find out the bad news. All of the Autistic children who lived in pain and frustration, never enjoying their childhood having normal lives and the ADHD children who have fallen through the cracks of the school system because teachers aren’t trained to support their needs, when cancer rates more than double will we be happy we got our SHOTS but hey the gov that supports the shots will make billions on more meds that supress not heal these conditions. If these disorders were always here in the numbers we see today in our children where are all the adult Autistic’s and high numbers of ADHD of the older generations?

Vaccines have prevented millions of people from suffering from infectious diseases that caused misery, disability and death. There is no evidence that side effects of vaccines are anything like as serious as the effects of the diseases they prevent. People who don’t vaccinate their children are anti-social and irresponsible.

It’s very sad that this debate has been debased to such an extent.
There are a few important aspects to remember:
Vaccinations save lives.
Vaccinations make pharmaceutical companies large amounts of money.
Many doctors support vaccination but question the wisdom of hitting a babies immune system with the three in one vaccine.
The reason a three in one vaccine was developed was for profit – not effectiveness of the vaccine.

Vaccines save lives. Amanda Peet is as close to my new hero as an actor can get. Jenny McCarthy and her pet, Jim Carrey, deserve a swift kick in the rear.

Despite her apology, Peet is correct in using the word parasite. As more children remain unvaccinated, the incidence of previously eliminated diseases starts to rise (please read this article from the CDC as an example – http://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/preview/mmwrhtml/mm5733a1.htm). As these diseases are brought back into our shared society by parents who refuse a basic line of defense for their children, the rest of us will have to cope with all the (unnecessary)problems this will bring. Expecting us to clean up the mess you are making is parasitical.
