Carrey Sunning with Satan
I’ve been seeing articles and Facebook posts that trash
Jenny McCarthy and I’m wondering why people think the behavior of a former Playboy playmate, MTV dating show host and paramour of
Jim Carrey is newsworthy.
One commenter even described her impending addition to
the View gaggle as replacing a right-wing wench –
Elizabeth Hasselbeck, who departed, thankfully, on July 10 – with a left-wing wench. I don’t recall her playing a major role in politics at any point in the more than three decades that I’ve been an observer. The reason she’s getting heat, apparently, is because she’s had the courage to publicly question the wisdom of vaccination regimens.
(Although I’m in no way related to McCarthy or affiliated with this country’s anti-vaccine movement, I did write negatively about vaccines before. See “
A Shot in the Dark,” December 10, 2012.)
It’s unfortunate that the Powers That Be – in this case Big Pharma, traditional medicine and the whorish media – find it necessary to discredit and marginalize individuals rather than responding to the claims and questions posed by said individuals. There
is a connection between vaccines and certain diseases and conditions like mental retardation, dyslexia, Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS), arthritis and others. Certain vaccines that contain foreign tissues and chemicals
do suppress our immune systems and affect some of our organs and body parts. And some studies
have found a link between vaccines and autism. So why not counter these studies and assertions with facts and science rather than throwing stones at Hollywood actresses?
I ran across an
article in Salon, a publication that I used to respect, entitled, “Dear ABC: Putting Jenny McCarthy on The View Will Kill Children.” If that’s not an excessively provocative and irresponsible title for an opinion piece, I don’t know what is. The
New Yorker, another publication that doesn’t usually embrace juvenile hyperbole,
claimed that McCarthy’s views are downright dangerous and hiring her to appear on television represents “a strike against reason and progress and hope.”
Oh, for Pete’s sake. Seriously? I can think of 50 examples of strikes against reason, progress and hope more deserving of national hand-wringing than putting an opinionated, middle-aged, yellow-haired celebrity on a vapid TV show that’s tied with a 50-year-old soap opera as most popular among 18- to 49-year-old housewives.

ReplyDeleteIt wouldn't let me comment on the other one.
I agree with some of your thoughts on the Medical community, but I don't feel that vaccinations are the best area for your ire.
ReplyDeleteI feel the medical community well more so the pharmaceutical community pushes drugs on us to keep us coming back for more. My mom's doctor had tried to pull her off some medications because research says those on less medications live longer. My mom fought tooth and nail to stay on her meds. There was a psychological effect now. Mom believed she couldn't be without those drugs and felt the doctor was being unfair. Plus media pushes drug commercials at us promising a quick fix and mom sighs and says Dr. Harmon won't let me take that...
I do wish there was more study done into herbal medicines. There's a two liberal EMT guys I know, they're twins, and they refute any herbal information calling it all bunk. Though one did give a thumbs up of medical marijuana use.
I think as we question medicine/pharmaceutical companies we also have to question food production. Fast food companies etc.
Then we as a race of humans have to become our own medicine. No one wants a diagnosis of eat more whole food and less processed. Exercise more. Everyone wants a magic pill.
In the case of Ms. McCarthy I just hate her because she's f-ing annoying. But I do give her props on donny loves jenny when she made donny Walburg get a colonoscopy. My bf needs one he's almost 50...
