Jenny McCarthy and Amanda Peet in feud over autism

Well, we certainly hope these two rocket scientists can work this out. Who else should our medical community look to for inspiration than a couple of actresses?

Both Jenny McCarthy and Amanda Peet have impressive credits attached to their names, but M.D. isn’t one of them.

But that hasn’t stopped them from raging a war in the press over childhood vaccines.

McCarthy, whose son is autistic, is against childhood vaccines because she believes there is a correlation between the shots and the impairment.

Peet, who has a toddler as well, is the spokesperson for Every Child By Two, a non-profit group that wants all kids vaccinated by age two. She labeled such anti-vaccine parents as “parasites” in a recent interview with Cookie.
