I blame Jenny McCarthy.
Blame Andrew Wakefield. He was the one who convinced Jenny McCarthy. She's a useful idiot. And I do mean idiot. She wrote an article that's been scrubbed from the internet about how her child was an 'indigo,' meaning he would have superhuman powers. This was before his autism diagnosis, which apparently changed her mind, because that's when the article got scrubbed.
It also contained a sentence that said (paraphrased): "After my son was born, I quit smoking."
She's a fucking idiot.
I thought you were kidding, but nope. The smoking sentence isn't mentioned in there, but everything else is. Wow.
Huh. I remember the smoking part, but maybe I'm misremembering.
Well, they're just quoting parts of what she wrote, so it might have been elsewhere. I didn't mean to imply that you were making that up.
No, you didn't imply that. I'm just surprised they didn't quote it and you'd think they would have.
She's been anti vaccine for years. Nobody was listening to her.
