Ugh. I really want that slime to catch a disease she helped bring back.

"And now, we are very proud to present someone who wants women to develop cervical cancer."

Now that's not entirely fair. Lance Armstrong is at least a good example of what happens to sportsmen who cheat. Jenny McCarthy is unlikely to ever receive a punishment for willfully working towards making more people ill.

I'd still do her.

They should've invited me. I can cure breast cancer by laying on hands.

Damn, missed this thread. But this was some good work by our local Ottawa Skeptics, and the Ottawa branch of CFI.

I sent this email using my credentials and medical practice email address:

I understand Jenny McCarthy has pulled out as a speaker at one of your events. I encourage you to not reschedule this woman who is responsible for the deaths of unvaccinated children with her unscientific and long discredited claims that vaccines cause autism. Please consider this unsupportable attack on vaccines could lead to young women forgoing HPV vaccine putting them at unnecessary risk of cervical cancer.
