I understand that parents are frightened, angry and looking for ways to master a situation in which they feel helpless. I understand it’s psychologically safer to direct that anger towards hypothetical men in suits than it is to admit hostile feelings towards their own children. But that isn’t what I call hope. That’s denial. It wasn’t long ago that Jenny was calling her son a “crystal child” and herself an “indigo mom”. Now it’s “warrior mom”. Autistic children may not be the most validating, but they are who they are. It’s important to accept that. If you’re having trouble coping, please seek help. Don’t seek false messiahs.
The bottom line is Jenny McCarthy … has faced unfortunate circumstances and she is doing something about it!!” Really? McCarthy spreads misinformation and fear about vaccines, and peddles snake oil treatments for autism. Drawing attention to autism is not a good thing by itself – we still need to be grounded in reality. But since McCarthy’s goal is clawing her way off the Hollywood D-list, truth will just have to wait.
as a parent of a child with autism, i can say very clearly that i knew my child was different right from the get go, long before he started his vaccinations. I JUST KNOW that there isn’t a link there. so, to use the same ‘scientific research’ that jenny mccarthy uses, I JUST PROVED THAT THERE IS NO LINK BETWEEN AUTISM AND VACCINATIONS!!! i’ll be waiting by the phone for your call, oprah…
Oh please no. This woman is incredibly ignorant and uneducated. Here is a quote from her: “I do believe sadly it’s going to take some diseases coming back to realize that we need to change and develop vaccines that are safe. If the vaccine companies are not listening to us, it’s their f___ing fault that the diseases are coming back. They’re making a product that’s s___. If you give us a safe vaccine, we’ll use it. It shouldn’t be polio versus autism.”
This woman openly admits she wants to see diseases return just to prove she is right. She is sick. SHE SHOULD NOT HAVE HER OWN SHOW!!!!!
I think Jenny is brilliant, hilarious, gorgeous inside and out, and a great role model. Jenny McCarthy is no bimbo. She is the star of I have been dreaming about.
I have been busy developing a show with Jenny in mind for a while now. Good for Oprah for seeing her potential and giving her the platform she so richly deserves.
What kind of project would I like to see Jenny do? My project!!!
Or rather OUR project, once we are teamed up. I hold the key to Jenny’s ultimate dreams fulfilled. She just doesn’t know it yet.
P.S. My show has nothing to do with Autism.
I hope she gets her own show. I want those unwilling to take vaccinations to not take vaccinations. Those that are unwilling to understand basic scientific methods should let their children be subject to diseases that typically don’t exist anymore (polio, diphtheria, measles, tetanus) in the western world. It’ll give my kids the advantage.
seaside beautiful
Please spare us. These two promote utter nonsense that puts vulnerable peoples lives at risk or bleeds them of their money, or both. No matter what they say get a second opinion.
Well, all of the posters on here obviously aren’t educated. TOXINS have everything to do with AUTISM. TOXINS are in vaccines, which is proof that in some kids it causes Autism. LISTEN- Some people believe that vaccines do not cause Autism because their child “showed symptoms” long before they vaccinated….well listen here: Your child has to be predisposed already, so YES, some children will not get Autism from vaccines….but vaccines do trigger Autism and that is proven as a FACT. That is why diet and other therapies help a lot of kids with Autism, its all about toxins and genetic predisposition! Step out of ignorance and stop listening to medical quacks. THE PHARMACEUTICAL INDUSTRY runs the medical industry….read Kevin Trudeau’s book.
I think Jules is correct, obviously toxins in vaccines cause autism. Like the botox (Botulinum TOXIN) they inject in jenny mcarthys face caused her son to get autism.
To Crispy and the other morons- My grandson developed autism after and I mean after the shots. I have him on video when he could talk and stare you in the eyes so dont tell any of us who have plenty of proof that it is a myth the vaccine caused this. When they took the mercury out of the serum they replaced it with aluminum. After expensive tests done at a huge medical center and yale, it was proven that it was the shots. fyi- were any of you aware that the govt had an agreement with the drug company that no one would be able to sue???? of course you wouldnt know that because it probably doent effect you. Try spending some of your lame time reading up on this spectrum. I am also a teacher of special ed preschoolers.
[...] his own show — and it’s still unclear (to me, anyway) what the ultimate result of the development deal McCarthy signed with Oprah last spring will [...]
She ROCKED last interview she had with Oprah. Especially when pumpning up crowd before and after show (on stage) Who let the dogs!
