You know, Jenny McCarthy's bosoms got me through some tough times as a randy adolescent, but the goodwill ends there. Take a look at this clip from a recent episode of Larry King Live where McCarthy calls the scientific evidence that there is no link between her child's autism and the vaccines he received "bullshit". By way of preparation, let's review a bit. First of all, the symptoms of autism often manifest at the same time a child receives certain vaccinations. Secondly, Jenny McCarthy formerly picked her nose on MTV for a living. Thirdly, all the mercury in the MMR vaccines that the anti-vaccination crowd used to blame for causing autism has been removed, yet autism diagnoses continue to rise. Fourthly, diagnoses do not equate to new cases--in fact, the rise in diagnoses is a sign that doctors are getting better at recognizing autism early. Fifthly, Jenny McCarthy told Oprah that removing the gluten and dairy from her son's diet (as a random Google search told her to do) is curing his autism. Finally, Jenny McCarthy used to PICK HER NOSE FOR A LIVING. For real information on the non-link between vaccines and autism, go here.
