If it were considered a disease, medical mistakes would be the third leading cause of death in USA.
tinybackpack
As stupid as her initial decision was, I respect her for publicly admitting she was wrong, that takes guts.
AJCanuck
Well, no shit...
southBendShovelSlayer
The fucked up thing is that the kids have no choice.
ilikehexagons
This is the argument being made by both sides.
MarcUK
She not only put her own kid's lives and health on the line, but also everyone that they came into contact with.
RheaButt
I'll never get this stance, these people not only believe vaccines cause autism, but they also think causing the death of their own child-
RheaButt
-is preferable to raising someone with a mental disability

Title should be changed to "Dumb Cunt Realized She Was A Dumb Cunt"

ucandcantunc
Is that all it took to wake her up? Well then lets begin exposing all the children to polio......and see who is left standing....
strugglecuddles
Letting dumbasses kill people because they are too fucking stupid to understand vaccines osnt freedom, its irresponsible.

Some doctor someplace "I TOLD YOU DO!!!"

SssssssssssSSSHHHHHOCKERRRRrrrrrrrrr
ICallPeoplesBullshit
We should make her say "I was wrong and am a big dummy dum dum bitchy bitch" publicly.
Doggoarchivar
i thought it is a old story but its just the same story with another mom
Iworktosavethetatas
JiveTian
No shit
ToanSavoo
Hypocrite, I hope those kids will be allright though.
Furryboots
It's the kids that suffer. I bet the mom was inmunised
MuttonsChopped
Yeah, because God forbid someone learn from their mistakes and try to right them.
ToanSavoo
I'm not religieus, but if we must go this route: God gave us the means to protect ourselfs, but she decided to ignore those abilities.
smellyflange
Oh I pressed the play button
brianthefly
I did as well... And read the title as "several-ly".

BarfingMonkey
Stupid hypocrite
LocustStar
Not hypocrisy to change your mind.
BarfingMonkey
Okay
LocustStar
It is sad what it took to make her realise, but she admitted her mistake, so she's not a hypocrite.
BarfingMonkey
It's always the way, until it affects you....
bebisstacis
Umm... Medical professional here...there's no vaccine for rotavirus. I don't understand the change of heart. But yay for vaccines!
electrette
Yes there are vaccines for rotavirus. I believe there are two approved in the US.
bebisstacis
You are right! I never noticed that was part of the standard vaccine schedule. Since I still see cases I didn't realize there was a vaccine
ChaMura
Hey, she learned her lesson, and the kids didn't suffer too greatly. I'd say this was a happy ending.
ThirstyBeaver
As an In-Home Daycare provider, I've refused business from parents who chose not to immunize their kids for non-medical reasons.
Vio1331
I am amazed how we can disregard 100s of years of medical research. Good on her for publicizing her change of heart
DoingItWrongSince1980
But you have to stick to your idiot convictions or survival of the fittest doesn't work.

I mean, genuine, natural infection IS the best way to mount a titer and prevent future disease... SUCH NATURAL. WOW!

I applaud her for admitting her mistake.

Of course...
Subsound
Amazing how your views change when you are personally affected
noscarletcoat
Learning more information and changing your mind isn't wrong, it's learning. Like Bill Nye w GMOs. Some ppl just need a personal experience.
Subsound
It's not wrong, but it's a learning experience a vast majority of people don't close to need need risking the lives of several children
alwaysL8
I'm not familiar with that example; can you give me the short of Bill Nye and GMOs?
noscarletcoat
http://www.businessinsider.com/bill-nye-explains-his-stance-on-gmos-2015-7 He used to think they were bad, after he read more, he doesn't.
alwaysL8
Thanks!
zigzagler
GMOs: good. Companies that own them: bad.
SithLordAndSavior
Just found out one of the kids in my kid's daycare doesn't do vaccines. Fuck that kid's parents. Don't endanger my child
ICallPeoplesBullshit
How is your child in danger of you vaccinate them exactly?
SithLordAndSavior
At least two reasons: 1, my kid is 3, so he still needs to take more vaccinations, so he is still vulnerable. 2: vaccinations aren't 100%.
ThirstyBeaver
Vaccinating will increase immunity but doesn't mean there is no chance of catching the disease. However, chances decrease exponentially /1
ThirstyBeaver
If the general population also has a high immunity to said disease. Now if his/her child has a weakened immune system, having a carrier /2
ThirstyBeaver
of any disease they aren't vaccinated for is a very serious threat. I have to get my German measles vaccine as I am no longer immune /3

I want Jenny McCarthy to face some prison time for the harm she's caused.
Arksstuff
A dumb person convincing other dumb people to believe her dumb opinions isn't a crime. We can try to correct them or disregard them.
DrHotdogs

EdgyLitirmor
She's spent the last 2 years distancing herself from antivaxxers. You'll be waiting a lonnnggg time for an actual apology.

MyDumpsAreTheFreshest
I think that guy wants people to stop listening to day time tv for medical advice.
VoPo
I wonder if I should begin listening to day time tv for medical advice?
MyDumpsAreTheFreshest
Or maybe we should start listening to medical professionals for daytime tv advice?

If you go to famous people (not a famous scientist) for your science, you get what you deserve. Sadly we get what you deserve too.
tonyferry
People say crazy shit all the time and people ignore them. She's not entirely to blame.
SlagathorDeb
I want the humans who actually listened to Jenny McCarthy to apologize.
ACanadianLostInAustralia
Has she ever admitted that she was wrong?
thegreenknight7
After her son was diagnosed with a different neurological disorder than autism.
ballsmcnadfrop
I want Jenny McCarthy to apologize to Autism.
ballsmcnadfrop
Not that I know of.
JupitersWitch
She never did. I read what she said and I can't remember it exactly but it was something to the effect of, I decided to go a different 1/2
