Re: Actress Peet calls parents of unvaxed children parasites

July 11, 2008

I've never heard of her, either. Here's what I found, a whole lot of

listings, but almost none have I heard of -- I'm not a pop-culture

person, either

http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001605/

A few thoughts on the article, though. She mentioned speaking with

Offitt, her family member's " mentor. " Okay, that says a lot about

her family. What was he being mentored to do, learn how to harm babies

to make a profit? Learn how to promote things that are not medically

necessary to get rich? To be used as an 'expert " without ever

disclosing multiple financial conflicts of interest? Gee, that's not a

lot to boast about, either in the family connection or in receiving

info from him.

Second, she obviously didn't get a very good education. Parasite means

to live off another; most of us who make informed choices to refrain

from immunization prefer to simply be left alone, quite the opposite

of an actress...er...this peet person.

www.dictionary.com:

parasite:

1. an organism that lives on or in an organism of another species,

known as the host, from the body of which it obtains nutriment.

2. a person who receives support, advantage, or the like, from another

or others without giving any useful or proper return, as one who lives

on the hospitality of others.

3. (in ancient Greece) a person who received free meals in return for

amusing or impudent conversation, flattering remarks, etc.

I don't agree with you in your defense of her. I understand that when

people have no education on a topic that they can feel the way she

does as I was once that way as well. HOWEVER, I would NEVER taken a

stance like that in a national magazine and make a very offensive,

blanket statement like that. I would not have been arrogant enough to

think that I have a definitive answer on any health subject. If I

would have made a statement I would have said something like " I have

researched both sides of the issue and I feel confidant vaccinating my

child. " Peet is a pompous jackass and does not deserve for anyone to

defend her for calling ME a parasite because my son was vaccine

damaged and I choose not to vaccinate my other children. Vicki
