If she is making faulty arguments or spinning the evidence, then it’s extra lame as she has a bigger microphone (although it’s much smaller than that held by the CDC).

Unfortunately, it’s not smaller. McCarthy and her husband (Jim Carrey) go on Oprah and talk about how vaccines caused their child’s autism and how people shouldn’t get their children vaccinated. That costs lives.

The CDC doesn’t get any kind of platform unless there’s a plague outbreak.

Now Oprah’s giving McCarthy her own talk show. Scary.

Thread parent sort order:
Thread verbosity:

Perhaps McCarthy can have the ex NIH Head Dr Berbnadine Healy on as a guest, here are some of her quotes
“Public health has been too quick to dismiss concerns of families…”
“This is the time when we do have the opportunity to understand whether or not there are susceptible children, perhaps genetically, perhaps they have a metabolic issue, mitochondrial disorder, immunological issue that makes them more susceptible to vaccines plural or to one particular vaccine or to a component of vaccine like mercury.”

“So we, now in these times, have to take another look at that hypothesis, not deny it.”

Or Perhaps the UK’s Sir Peter Fletcher could be a guest,

“There are very powerful people in positions of great authority in Britain and elsewhere who have staked their reputations and careers on the safety of MMR and they are willing to do almost anything to protect themselves.”

or perhaps Hannh Pollings dad.

btw Jim and Jenny arent married

I don’t think going on Oprah gives her a larger mic – at least not in the way I meant it.

When I read around to try and get information on vaccines or flu deaths or anything like that, I find CDC citations – not McCarthy citations. When people want to find something “official” on the subject, they turn to the CDC – not McCarthy.

Of course, that’s the way it should be. I’m not complaining about that. What I’m saying is with that position comes greater responsibility. In other words, I consider it a bigger deal when the CDC spins something, than when McCarthy does.
