Vent- celebrities and health

It was a short blurb, they excerpted from her op-ed

I believe in the importance of a vaccine program and I believe parents have the right to choose one poke per visit. I've never told anyone to not vaccinate. Should a child with the flu receive six vaccines in one doctor visit? Should a child with a compromised immune system be treated the same way as a robust, healthy child? Shouldn't a child with a family history of vaccine reactions have a different plan? Or at least the right to ask questions?
I will continue to say what I have always said: "One size does not fit all." God help us all if gray is no longer an option.

To the bolded: Ahem.

WHO THE FUCK EVER SAID THAT? Nobody, that's who. If you want to distance yourself from your cray-cray past, try not to sound like a condescending, FUCKING IDIOT. Of course children with compromised immune systems are on a different fucking schedule, and of course, some of them can't handle vaccines AND THAT'S SOMETHING YOU DISCUSS WITH YOUR FUCKING DOCTOR NOT THE BITCH WHOSE BEST WORK WAS SINGLED OUT.

Well, Tom Cruise seems to think he is an expert in mental health. Ugh!

Don't you realize that celebrities are all smarter than us because fame = intelligence. Duh.

If either of those two celebrities get confirmation of their beliefs from these Celebrities I will take them seriously. Until then I will ignore their insanity.

Plenty of regular people have stupid opinions like these too. Famous people just get coverage for their stupid ideas.

OMG don't even get me started on Jenny McCarthy and her anti-vaccine campaign!!! And all the poor children at risk because their parents listened to unsafe advice. I'm all for asking your doctor as many questions as you want about any and everything, and even for finding a new doctor if your doctor won't take the time to make sure your questions are answered, but some people take it way too far and they are not even the ones who pay the price.

I think she is just attempting to get people 'off her back', example: http://cheezburger.com/220421
Honestly I can't stand her. Obviously kids with different needs and health issues are treated differently based on what they and the doctor discuss and decide on. One of my cats only gets one vaccine per visit because when they were all together it was too much for her. My vet only charges me for one visit, too.
