It was recently announced that Jenny
McCarthy would be posing for Playboy again, and quite frankly, I
don't like it at all.
It's not that I don't think that Jenny
isn't a beautiful woman. In fact I think she is one of the most
beautiful women in the world.
The reason I don't like it that Jenny
is posing for Playboy again is the fact that she is one of spokes
people against vaccines.
Jenny's son is autistic, and she firmly
believes that he became that way because of vaccines.
Despite the fact that the enormous
amount of research shows that genetics, not vaccines, are the most
likely cause of autism, there are still millions of people whom still
believe otherwise.
These people base their beliefs on
numerous fraud research articles that most major medical journals
will not publish due to a lack of creditable research. Most famous of
these is the article that started it all: The article that was
written by Andrew Wakefield and published in the British Medical
Journal.
The article was controversial from the
start, and in 2010 was removed from the BMJ for fraud.
He is also no longer allowed to
practice medicine in the United Kingdom.
Despite this, Wakefield still claims
his research is truthful, and that there is a conspiracy by public
health officials and pharmaceutical companies to discredit his work,
and that they paid bloggers to post rumors about him over the
internet and inflate the reports about the death from measles.
Jenny McCarthy is one of Wakefield's
biggest supporters, and continues to preach the anti-vaccine cause. A
cause that has been linked to the deaths of thousands of people,
mostly children.
It angers me that Playboy is giving her
another pictorial, despite the fact that her ignorance and
irresponsibility has led to so many deaths. I don't suggest that
people boycott Playboy, but I do think that people should mail
Playboy letters stating how disappointed they are that Jenny is
getting another pictorial, and that they should rip out and mail back
the pictorial to Playboy in protest as well.
