Of course, Jenny McCarthy sits as the queen of misinformation through her television appearances and several books. Her recent attempt at “backpeddling” had more holes than swiss cheese.
More recently, reality star Kristin Cavallari, whom probably some of you didn’t know who she was, gained notoriety citing “scary statistics”.
Even billionaire Donald Trump chimed in on Twitter with some unfounded claims, prefaced by “If I were President…”. Fortunately, it’s hard to imagine Trumps in the Oval Office.
However, not all celebs look at vaccines as a danger, but one of , if not the greatest public health achievement known to mankind.
Let me take you back a few years to a series by the comedy duo, Penn and Teller. It was called Bulls**t and one episode looked at vaccinations and the errors of anti-vaxxer movement. Check the video out yourself, it’s a pretty good, lucid look at the topic, but one word of caution–the F-bomb is dropped a few times so it’s definitely not meant for young ears to hear.
what does it mean for the Penn and teller on vaccinations?
