Seriously?  

post #1 of 7
Thread Starter 
Okay. My pediatricians website has not one but THREE pages devoted to why you should, no , MUST vaccinate your child. One of them is a link that takes you to a page with a big picture of Amanda Peet and the Headline " Amanda Peet Chose to vaccinate" So???? Its like they think I'm an idiot ( not me personally, but YKWIM) If a celebrity chose to vaccinate then it must be the smartest thing???? HuH?:


THe sites "features" cut and copied
Featured Content

Unvaccinated Minnesota Child Dies from Hib Meningitis

Private Practice Takes on Measles Outbreak
The ABC drama featured a compelling storyline about an unvaccinated child who dies from measles.
Watch the episode for free on ABC's Web site

Now, I'm sort of undecided, but this stuff reeks of propaganda, and I don't care for the scare tactics. How, oh how to find a more open minded pediatrician in these parts??????

I really enjoy how the pro-vax side tries to label non-vaxers as celebrity-followers, and then throw Amanda Peet in your face.

Do we really come accross as that simple minded?

Yeah, I make all my decisions based on the show The Practice. *gag*

Did you try to ask in your local tribe fore a vax-friendly doc?

Don't they always accuse non vaxers of listening to celebrities? How is it fair to say "Well, Amanda Peet did it" in one breath and "Don't make your choice based on celebs" in the next?

She's a mediocre actress...hasn't done any movies that have been oscar worthy thats for sure. She is usually in romantic comedies. I actually enjoyed her movies, but than after her whole "parasite" comment, I am boycotting ANYTHING having to do with her.

Too bad cause I really wanted to see the X-files movie
