Too many parents, prompted by the likes of high school graduate, talk show host and onetime Playmate of The Month Jenny McCarthy, believe that measles immunizations cause autism, a notion repeatedly discredited by what we call “scientists.” (These are people both educated in and devoted to a thing called “science.”) Anyway, I’m digressing. Today’s banner headline on page one, above-the-fold in the Los Angeles Times is “Perfect Storm For Measles Outbreak.” The article cites the alarming resurgence of measles, the domestic transmission of which was zero in 2000. But, thanks to Jenny and her believers, statistics show that fewer parents are getting their children immunized. Soooooooooo, guess which disease is officially on the comeback trail? Yes, measles!!
Thank you, Doctor Jenny! I think I see a position at FOX News in your future….
