Amanda Peet spews her ignorance about vaccinations
Darn it, I liked her, too
She told Cookie magazine, this month, that, "Anyone who doesn't vaccinate is a parasite."
a parasite?!? egad! thats a bit harsh.... what is the logic behind that? seriously, since i have researched the possible ramifications and made a conscious decision to not vaccinate makes me a parasite? sheesh, whatevs.

Feeling incomplete does not make you so. It's how legends are born, giants are made, and history is written. It's why you're here. To ever so briefly escape your true identity as you live with an unquenchable thirst that will lead into adventures of grandeur, discovery, and a realization that love is all there is.

I know plenty of people who think the same as she...that's OK. However, being that judgemental is a wee bit..well crazy.
Her daughter is beautiful.
I wonder if her daughter is gonna hate her and think she caused her irreversible damage for putting her on the magazine cover? Maybe all celebs who have children and expose them to the incredible publicity and paparazzi are child abusers? irresponsible?... (I am not being serious..)
I wonder if her daughter will be one who contract whooping cough despite her perfect schedule of vaccinations? Will she then be parasite for then putting others at risk justby having an illness and being alive?
shesh.

"So let them be little
'Cause they're only that way for a while
Give 'em hope, give them praise
Give them love every day
Let 'em cry, let 'em giggle
Let 'em sleep in the middle
Oh but let them be little" - Billy Dean
a) who actually has a subscription to Cookie Magazine. I mean, for real, when I first saw that magazine I knew that there was no way on earth that I could have a subscription because the lust factor would simply be too great!
b) I will openly admit that prior to about three years ago I would have said the same thing. I do not think that it is an uncommon sentiment among those that do vaccinate. Nor do I think it is anymore judgemental of them to think that than many things we - as mothers - express about others who do things differently, especially when we are uneducated about the other point of view (and, sorry, but NONE of us are well educated in all points of view of mothering). You know? I don't think that she is being any more judgmental than any of us have been about issues of importance to us. I'm not going to fault her on that. I'm just going to say that she has a different point of view.
c) There certainly is a media campaign (or so it would see to me) to "educate" the public about the safety of vaccinations/silliness of the anti-vax campaign. I'm seeing it in all the various magazines right now.
d) like my opinion or not (and we do not vax), BUT, to a certain extent (and I'm not saying that I agree completely), but I get her POV. I, however, believe that it comes down to *MY* child's well-being vs. that of our overall society. But, I do think that if each and every one of us vaccinated against certain diseases, they would go the way of polio and smallpox (with smallpox obviously being more successful than polio).
And, yes, I await the beat down I'm about to receive.
Still doesn't mean that we *CHOSE* to vax. Because what is in the best interest of the collective is not necessarily in the best interest of the individual and I'm concerned about the individuals in my keeping. You know, when I'm actually a responsible and attentive parent

"Master, which is the greatest commandment in the law?
Jesus said until him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.
This is the first and great commandment.
And, the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
On these two commandments have all the law and the prophets."
