Parents whose beloved children have autism would not stop thinking of what they could have done differently. More important, they won’t stop looking for what can cure their beloved children. A possible correlation between Autism and Vaccine has not been a scientifically proven matter. Still, modern medical science has not figured out about the exact causes of many chronic pain and illnesses.
Jenny McCarthy: Report of new stance on autism, vaccines ‘irresponsible and inaccurate’
Jenny McCarthy says she plans to take legal action following a report claiming she had changed her controversial anti-vaccination stance.
McCarthy is an outspoken advocate for autism research and treatment whose views on vaccination have put her at odds with health experts.
Kristin Cavallari: ‘I’ve Read Too Many Books’ To Vaccinate My Child
“Vaccines are not something I wanted to publicly come out and speak on. I sort of got bombarded in this interview and thrown off-guard,” said the celeb, who is married to Chicago Bears quarterback Jay Cutler.
“There’s really scary statistics out there, and to each their own. Autism wasn’t prevalent — like it is now — years ago, so something is going on, whether it’s the chemicals in our food or the vaccines,” she continued. “Something is happening, and we can’t really ignore that. I choose to believe that I think it’s in the vaccines but, again, to each their own and that’s where I stand on it.”
The topic of vaccination came up during Cavallari’s interview on Fox with “The Independents” host and former MTV VJ Kennedy, who brought up their fellow MTV alum, Jenny McCarthy. McCarthy has been vocal in her opposition to vaccinations, claiming that they cause autism despite a multitude of scientific studies to the contrary.
Cavallari told Kennedy she has not vaccinated her young son, Camden, and that she does not plan to vaccinate her new son after he’s born, either.
“You know what? I have read too many books about autism,” Cavallari said on Fox, where the comment was met with immediate skepticism from Kennedy.
“There is a pediatric group called Homestead, or Home First? Pregnancy brain, I’ve got it confused,” she continued on Thursday. “They’ve never vaccinated any of their children and they haven’t had one case of autism. And now, 1 in 88 boys is autistic, which is a really scary statistic … The vaccinations have changed over the years, there’s more mercury and other…”
Anti-Vaccine Truthers Are Becoming a Scary Epidemic in the United States
It might seem incomprehensible that parents would intentionally keep their children from receiving vaccines that prevent serious illnesses. Measles, for example, causes serious complications in one in 20 children. The measles vaccine causes serious complications in justone or two children for every million that receive it. But thanks to a discredited and formally retracted study submitted by Dr. A.J. Wakefield that linked vaccines to autism, millions of parents believe that they’re protecting their children from developing a psychological condition. Every single major public health organization in the world has denied the vaccine-autism link, but that’s just not good enough for some people.
