Another idiot celebrity anti-vaccination family- Jay Cutler and Wife

Reality television personality Kristin Cavallari appeared on Fox News today and disclosed that she and her husband, Chicago Bears quarterback Jay Cutler, are not vaccinating their children because they are worried about their offspring developing autism. In Cavallari’s words, “I’ve read too many books and studies.” She then went on to describe an anti-vaccination group she is a part of and how none of them have been vaccinated and they haven’t had one case of autism. Sounds like a pretty scientific study from Ms. Cavallari.

Sadly, Culter and Cavallari have fallen victim to conjecture and disproven theories and not only are putting their own children at risk, they are risking the health of other families around them. Just this month Nature Magazine published an article titled Public Health: An Injection of Trust which underscored how difficult and important it is to reach parents who refuse to vaccinate their children.

You never wish for harm to come to kids, but people this stupid shouldn't be allowed to breed in the first place.

Dollars to donuts she's never read a peer-reviewed study in her life. And that all of those books she's talking about include the words "toxins" and "colonic."

The next time you suffer a concussion, refuse treatment and break NFL rules to get back on the field. If you reject one accepted part of medical sciences (vaccines) why not the rest?

Anti vaxxer celebrities are not only endangering their own children but other children as well. They are influencing people to say no to vaccinations and in the end it is the children that suffer.
