In the August issue of Cookie magazine, actress Amanda Peet blasted parents who don't vaccinate their children and went so far as to call them "parasites." Now, Jenny McCarthy, an outspoken supporter of "Green Our Vaccines" who challenges the effect of immunizations in autistic children, is fighting back in the newest issue of Spectrum Magazine.
"(Peet) has a lot of balls to come forward and be on that side, because there is an angry mob on my side, and I like the fact that I can say she's completely wrong,'' McCarthy says in the issue hitting newsstands on Wednesday.
