People are so used to getting away with written insults on social media that they think the entire world is their Facebook page.

As someone who is looking to take on a second job in the shitty town in which I'm temporarily stuck, just to be able afford my return to the city, and someone who is still unable to nab one of the shitty local Subway jobs because competition is fierce for any fucking work out here... Yeah, you sound like an asshole.

Well not everything has to result in litigation.

A better way to show that you don't care is by not bothering to comment.

She also wrote a book about how she cured her son's autism by changing his diet to a strict gluten-free diet.

It's also pretty fucking offensive to adults on the spectrum. "Oh, if only you had developed a crippling disease instead of being born how you were! We'd all be so much happier."

I'm so tired of arguing science with people that I just go and post this Roald Dahl quote now:

Every time someone mentions "toxins", I ask which ones. Haven't gotten an answer yet. Oil pulling, vaccines, juice cleanses...Ignored every time.

Not only is this complete and utter bullshit, but reading through things she's said in the past also made me unbelievably sad for her son. She describes how autism "steals children's souls and their life" and how when her son got this vaccine "she saw the life leave his eyes" and keeps going on about him like he's…

I automatically ignore anyone who says "toxins" outside of a professional science lab. They might as well be worried about cooties or humours or sleeping with the window open.

This, thank you. I am in the process of getting my social work degree and I am always hearing people make generalizing statements - "People in Africa," "African culture," etc. All the time. I always ask them which country in Africa they are specifically talking about, what with it being an entire continent and all,…

Ah yes, the well-known soulless autistic heathen. McCarthy sure does sound like a loving mother.

To add to this: from her famous Oprah interview:

When you define everything in the vaccine besides the water as a toxin...

Actual quotes from her interview in Time magazine: interviewed by J. Kluger, 2009. So, she didn't contribute to anti-vaxxers? She directly states that vaccines contribute to autism and that she would stand in line to have her child get measles.

My guess: it is, or soon will be, bad for business. The backlash is getting ugly.

First if was MMR, then it was all vaccines, then it was thiomersal, then it was aluminum, then it was delayed schedule, then it was delayed schedules for immunodepressed only. It took a while, but I think the doctors has finally beaten this dumbo back to something approximating reality.

Also, my kid isn't allowed into most public schools and has no friends because other parents don't want his disease riddled carcass to infect their offspring.

Uh, it's already not recommended that people who are currently sick get vaccinated. And those with compromised immune systems are not necessarily recommended to vaccinate, either. Those are basic vax guidelines, and those people DO have that right, which is why it's so shitty for so many other people who are perfectly…

Translation: hanging out with the anti-vaxxers is starting to cost me money.
