I find this so much more damning for someone her age than for a young person. Jenny McCarthy is 43, and she’s been acting and living in Los Angeles since 1994. Did she manage to make it through that whole time period without ever having met someone who died of AIDS or seeing how harsh discrimination against HIV+…

JENNY.

when are they gonna roll out the feature that keeps facebook from suggesting my ex-fiance’s new (like, NEW new) wife as “someone i might know”?

fuuuuck he didn’t escape the purge?? I don’t know how I missed that :(

Princess Diana of Great Britain. This is why I give this woman props. Not because of any inherent respect for British, or any other, aristocracy. Because she used her prominent position both in her society and with the media to illustrate time and again that simple truth: touch people with AIDS; it won’t harm you.

Did you just arrive in a time machine from 1987? HIV is a blood-borne pathogen. Herpes is a virus that sheds from the skin. The risk of transmitting HIV in the normal course of filming a damn sitcom is zero.

because she... DIDN’T have potential to be exposed to a dangerous virus in the professional role she had.

Because that’s the kind of fear-mongering lunacy that should be left in the past. Being in the same room as someone with HIV does not put you at any risk unless you are fucking them without a condom or sharing needles with them and they haven’t been taking their meds.

Just one herpe. It’s only bad if there are multiple.

I mean Jenny McCarthy has never been a huge fan of things like science or facts.

When you consider it’s someone who thinks a measles vaccine is more dangerous than the measles it starts to make sense.

Later she blamed HIV on immunizations and claimed that a healthy diet of gluten-free, upside-down grown, massaged vegetables combined with regular hot room yoga modern dancing could cure it. Thanks Jenny, we value your opinion greatly.

It’s weird how our leading voice in medicine seems uneducated in this area.

This story really infuriates me. I guess Jenny manages to not know a single person with HIV because she doesn’t actually have any friends.

Jenny McCarthy is a garbage person. Like, she’s actual garbage, not one who picks up garbage and puts it in the garbage truck.

“McCarthy also wondered why actors engaged in kissing scenes weren’t required to disclose their HIV status.”

What kind of shitty gym can't look up a member on its system with something other than the barcode thingy?
