Idiot.
Guardian Idiot.
STFU Jenny McCarthy.
Taylor Brown is a 20-something Wofford College graduate who somehow got sucked into politics at an early age. She is easily won over with Rush’s fast food, wine, and spirited political arguments.

No. I’d rather not.
This whole article is a heap of dung. I remember chicken pox and measles parties. 9/10ths of 1%, 0.0009, of those infected die. Taking into account the entirety of the population that number drops to less than 1/10th of 1% or 0.00014.
WAKEUP SHEEPLES
The glowing sheen of reality impinges on the consciousness of man, independent of the success of vaccination and is neither the cause, nor an indication of SHEEPLEness.
Bullshit didn’t say they don’t work, which they don’t.
He merely noted with integrity that the sky will not fall.
Unlike myself, whom shines brightly in mans paranoia
The sky hasn’t fallen… just as you say
even though we went to war in Iraq based on lies, bailed out the banks because we didn’t pay for the war, “stimulated” the economy with money we didn’t have, and continue to outsource jobs, and collect less taxes…. the sky hasn’t fallen.
I think we should just keep being stupid until the sky *actually* falls…
Then we’ll have proof.
Chicky baby agrees 100%. All points. Except the vaccine dumbass
so what’s your problem with the vaccine?

So you provides stats that show 0 (zero) deaths per 100,000 EVER and you’ve made some brilliant point?? Can you read a chart.
http://www.who.int/mediacentre/factsheets/fs367/en/
Even the LIBERAL SCUMBAG COMMIE WorldDeathOrganization says it’s a mild nothing disease??
“In children, the disease is usually mild, with symptoms including a rash, low fever (<39°C), nausea and mild conjunctivitis"
When a woman is infected with the rubella virus early in pregnancy, she has a 90% chance of passing the virus on to her fetus. This can cause miscarriage, stillbirth or severe birth defects known as CRS. Infants with CRS may excrete the virus for a year or more.
Congenital rubella syndrome
Children with CRS can suffer hearing impairments, eye and heart defects and other lifelong disabilities, including autism, diabetes mellitus and thyroid dysfunction – many of which require costly therapy, surgeries and other expensive care.
The highest risk of CRS is in countries where women of childbearing age do not have immunity to the disease (either through vaccination or from having had rubella). Before the introduction of the vaccine, up to 4 babies in every 1000 live births were born with CRS.
But But But
RU486??
RU486 doesn’t fuck up the kid for life.
Yeah. Just kills it.
So you’re saying that fucking a kid up for life is ok… it’s really no big deal because RU486 kills children?
Sorry. The kids are not allowed to play with you any longer. You can play with Vinnie’s watch.
ok… make sure they do their homework!
… and that’s not counting the ones who die from the act of getting the injections. And now days we have super bugs that are immune to any vaccines.
Airplanes, seat belts, helmets, stop lights, driver’s licenses, building standards, vaccinations.
Hey, hey, hey, we draw the line at helmets. I say let all the idiots who want to go without – in 10 years we’ll probably raise the mean IQ by 10 points. Survival of the fittest and all…
Football helmets
Same applies…
Ditto that! And the organ banks are close to empty!
How’s you Ebola going(sucker)?
9,019 dead and counting. Only place anyone has died outside of Africa? Texas. Country with the largest number of cases outside of Africa? The U.S.. We got lucky.
Fortunately, the epidemic seems to be easing in some areas, Nigeria and Senegal have had no new cases in a couple of months. However, Mali appears to have a resurgence and Sierra Leone has just gotten a handle on controlling their outbreak.
It bears repeating, we got lucky.
Fail
Yeah, yeah, thankfully, you may have been right.
Yeah, until “the herd” shows up at the ER with his brains hanging out and the family insists that ALL life saving measures are taken regardless of cost. Or, the guy crashes and burns and we pay his Social Security disability forever cause he conked his head. So, if you want to go no helmet that’s great. Just first sign papers that decline public assistance that might be required for the consequences of your choice. And BTW, such a scenario might create a bit of a burden on your family. If it was just about these folks being “organ donors” that would be a different discussion.
Just my weak attempt at humor…
I was a little surprised he missed it… some people have a super hard time with the meatier jokes of the damned.
…and some people are just plain idiots
Smoking dope is bad for your mental health.Only a full time stoner can come up with the comments you make.Vaccinations are crucial,but don’t mind me,have a few more hits
uh… what?
what do you think I said?
“what do you think I said?”
He was too high to process it.
Glad to see Mande is back to counter-balance this stupid twat’s twaddle.
Stay classy.
Gotta back Taylor up on this one 100%.
How embarrassed are you?
Blind squirrel.
WOW,Taylor! That was an incredible blast of common sense.I first heard the anti-vaxx talk from my ‘liberal’ vegan friends.They’re homeopaths and don’t trust ‘Western medicine’,until it’s too late.I know a former Vegan woman,who wasn’t able to have a child(two miscarriages),until she started eating meat(ground turkey was as far as she would go).
Most of the supplements in health food stores are a waste of money.Now it’s a ‘right/libertarian’ wing thing.Obviously,neither ‘side’ has cornered the market on logical,practical thinking.Great piece.
Stupidity comes in all flavors, really. I remember reading about one kid having a cancer that has over 90% survivability with chemo and the parents wouldn’t give it to him because they wanted to “pray it away.” Absolutely ridiculous.
I suppose skipping a vaccine doesn’t necessarily mean you’ll die, no, but heavens forbid we consider that you might end up spreading it to someone who will.
Get back to us when you’re 30 and don’t know everything. You’re writing style is both grating and insulting.
Well, at first, I agreed with Taylor on all the major general points she made. After reading your point-by-point rebuttal, I’ve changed my mind.
Yeah, you’re the effing idiot, stupidest, idiot, idiot, dumber she keeps insulting in her piece.
You forgot “ridiculous” and “ignorant,” but I’ll let that slide sweetie.. those were for you, 63.
Speaking of “facts”….
A “pediatrician” is not “big pharmacy.”
A
Do we have degrees in “infectious diseases”?
No, but *Al Gore does not have a degree in climatology, either.

Did you know that there are several fish besides the tuna that will bite an un-baited hook?
The HPV vaccine has been clinically proven…that’s PROVEN…with a capital P to prevent cervical cancer in women.
Yet, ne’er do wells like Bachmann and apparently Ms. Brown are making an argument that vaccinating young girls from cancer is giving them license to take on the entire Gamecock starting line.
So you are suggesting what? That since it works for women, it should be forcibly given to all women?
Well, then who should do this? The Gruberment Post Office? The “progressive” Fascists? The Surgeon General’s Staff? Nation wide? … Even to those transvestites? … Even those transvestites who have not had the operations?
… And who is doing the deciding about whether or not it should be voluntary or not? The BummerCare Death Panels?
It should be administered in schools by school nurses or community health centers. It should be mandatory.
Are you suggesting it’s better to let young women die later on from preventable cancer and end up costing the health system more $$ in cancer treatment in later life?
It’s like the anti-seat belt crowd. It’s clearly a common sense policy to have mandatory seat belt use but somehow is distorted into the gestapo coming to kick your doors in. Meanwhile, other states and nations enjoy low mortality and cost savings on insurance.
Stupidity and ignorance cost more money in the end, which ironically is the opposite to conservative doctrine. Riddle me that….
Very few women die of cervical cancer. Pap smears, which are an early detector of cervical cancer, have been a part of the annual ob/gyn check up for decades.
Bullshit.
“… It should be administered in schools by school nurses or community health centers. It should be mandatory. …”
That’s what I’m talking’ ’bout!
Typical “progressive” Fascist attitude!
Find a Gruberment program that fits the claim, institute it permanently on a national scale, when the condition is eradicated, expand the bureaucracy to find another … ad noisome …
Now, before anyone jumps all over me saying, “But Taylor! You don’t have a degree in infectious diseases, either!” let me say that is absolutely correct. I don’t. But I don’t go around making wild accusations about how diseases are basically poison that a doctor injects into a child …
Would it be ok if an older Native American/Jew jumped all over you saying,”You REALLY NEED TO PROOFREAD!!!”
How’s your Ebola?
haven’t you noticed that a person gifted in one area is often deficient in others? My favorite example is Non, from the Phantom Zone, trying out his heat vision.
“… they’ve come up with even more reasons not to vaccinate. …”
Fortunately, this is all Voluntary! One does not have to take the shots … and one does not really have to make any excuses for rejecting those shots.
(Myself? I was just injected Saturday night with two big vaccinations … and given some mighty powerful anti-biotics on top … For Dog Bite. … But I still refused the flu vaccine cocktail offered, and in my particular case, the doctor agreed with me, mostly because in our society there are “way too many vaccinations” and injections given (his words in quotes.))
Yes I believe that one about as much as the rest of the corny BS you post here.
The libertarians want a world run by the rich… but they don’t think it out… the rich won’t need lawyers as much as guns… doctors figure they’ll be paid extra special well, because they’ll only have to treat the rich.
Unfortunately, only the 1% will be able to afford them, so that, though doctors will be *in* the 1%, almost no one will be able to afford the training, nor will there be a demand for many, even if they do.
What happens to the doctors that can’t find a 1%er to treat?
They are filled with regret.
Doctors are all libertarians!
I call shenanigans. No way a doctor says that, unless he’s corrupt and wants to treat your expensive illness rather than providing you with preventative treatments that are far cheaper. If the above story is true, you should really get a new doctor.
Taylor just made Ron Paul look like a complete moron.
No one has to make Ron Paul look like a complete moron.
True dat. I did especially like the part of Grandpa Ron’s article where he said that that the free market would solve this issue b/c private businesses would/could choose not to serve the unvaccinated. How’s that gonna work? honor system? some sort of ID card that says I’ve had my shots? Joke.
How’s that gonna work? honor system? some sort of ID card that says I’ve had my shots?
We could sew gold stars on their clothing. /s
(Some) Libertarian views on raising kids are absolutely horrid. You should read some of Murray Rothbard’s opinions on the subject. Batshit insane stuff.
I blame paraquat.
“We could sew gold stars on their clothing.”
It worked for the National Socialists.
Libertarians eventually start believing in the God of Libertarianism. That He will automagically solve any and all problems through his Son, the free market…. no regulation necessary.
All of the money will concentrate in the hands of a few, just like it has now, only you won’t get to vote on what is done with the wealth of America, because you didn’t earn it.
That’s the real goal… one dollar, one vote.
Or one bar of gold-pressed latinum.
what’s a sociopath going to do?
Rule of Acquisition #109: Dignity and an empty sack is worth the sack.
“All of the money will concentrate in the hands of a Jew”
All fixed.
Now you *know* that’s not nice!
Libertarians really believe that?
It depends on what you mean by “believe”
Taylor, I know this is what you were waiting for.
“Bible Thumper Stamp of Approval”
Bend over please.
shame on you!
He’s got “Bible” in his name, so he’s forgiven.
If your measles vaccine is so great, then you don’t have to worry about me or my child giving you measles, right??? It appears to me, you don’t have confidence in your measles destroying vaccination so don’t bitchy advocate for it…
so I thank you in advance for STFU…
Not everyone can get the vaccines. People with low immune systems cannot get the vaccines which makes them at risk.
Uh… yeah… just not understanding your reply to my comment to the author because you offhandedly make a case that the crux of the author’s angst is misguided in its sweeping indictment… Thanks for the Back Up!
The idiot you responded to does not understand heard immunity. The vaccination of the majority to protect those that cannot be vaccinated.
Frankly, I’m all for letting people kill their children this way if it didn’t affect other people’s children. If they buy into this anti-vax horeshit, I saw we need to winnow down the gene pool.
It appears to me, you don’t have confidence in your measles destroying vaccination
Oh, no, we do have confidence in it. It’s just that when there are larger pockets of unvaccinated children it results in higher numbers of outbreaks, and those outbreaks hit more people as a result. Even disregarding the kids Plutogirl mentioned who cannot get the vaccine, you’re still talking about incurring medical costs paid for by insurance/Medicaid, which means the rest of responsible society has to chip in to pay for your irresponsibility in some way or another.
Anti-vaxxers are a drag on society, they are too smug and self-righteous to admit it.
You are a moron. Turn off your computer and go study for the GED. And for god sakes, if you have children… let someone who is mentally capable of being a parent adopt them and give them a chance to have a happy life. Your children are destined to grow up miserable with an idiot for a parent. Do them a favor and abandon them. They’ll be better off.
Since we’re all into name calling and you obviously don’t mind exhibiting your ignorance… My children are just fine, well adjusted, enjoying a happy life as productive citizens. You on the other hand are symptomatic of what happens when vaccines go wrong; an inbred, Oedipus complex suffering, mama’s tit addicted hunchback incapable of intelligent original thought… Go change your bib and diaper…
Good article.
Great job on this one. It all needs to be said.
The conspiracy theorists and morons who just love to buck common sense and authority obviously won’t like your logic and facts, but you’re completely right.
Hey! Reality Show, Professional Wrestling, Poltergeist, Alien and Sasquatch fans are *very* offended!
…as well as a bunch of government conspiracy types from the paranoid edges of psychotic America.
Try to be more sensitive to their world view.
First, let me say that Jenny McCarthy is a public health menace.
Absolutely. This cannot be stated enough.
I’d also mention the little social media cliques where crunchy moms just prattle on about how superior they are and how everyone else poisons their children with eeeeeevil vaccines and are horrible parents. The second you call them on their shit, though, they’re like, “Oh, well, we didn’t mean yoooouuuuuuu!” Yes you did, screw you. And don’t bother posting actual peer-reviewed studies and write ups that poke holes in their asinine beliefs because they’ll rage all over you.
Overall a great write up. Props to you.
Jenny has REALLY great cans though, and like to show them off.
And for that, I’m content.
Well done,Ms. Brown.
I’m still trying to get over the smell of Santorum.
Me, too. Hard to do, isn’t it?
Mande Wilkes, Jenny McCarthy….why is the girl with great tits bashing on others with great tits?
If there was a tit-IQ correlation you’d all be geniuses. Seems like a pretty special club to me. You should stick together, preferably using some type of syrup/whipped cream concoction.
I wonder if trolling can be considered a form of child abuse? It seems to me that she should be spending her time monitoring the health of her infant child instead of trolling
