Celeb Vaccine 1 Wars: Peet Beats Maher

Comedian 2 Bill Maher advises against vaccinations 3. But actress Amanda Peet--and Dr. Bill Frist--have it right: vaccines 4 are good. Steve Mirsky comments


In the celebrity 5 vaccine wars, I’m siding with actress Amanda Peet. And comedian Bill Maher, well, I like your show, but when it comes to vaccines you don’t know a punchline 6 from a clothesline.


Maher recently tweeted to his Twitter followers 7 “if u get a swine flu shot ur an idiot.” On his HBO program Real Time last week, Maher went head-to-head with former Senator Dr. Bill Frist, who patiently explained why vaccines were in fact good. But Maher wasn’t buying it. He advocates a healthy lifestyle over vaccines. But polio and smallpox 8 outmatched many robust 9 immune systems.


Actress Amanda Peet, meanwhile, has used her celebrity to encourage vaccinations, specifically in response to the alleged 10 vaccine-autism connection, for which there’s no scientific evidence, but which has some parents afraid of childhood vaccinations. In a letter to a parenting magazine, Peet wrote: “It’s irresponsible to suggest that virtually the entire medical community, and the CDC, and the American Academy of Pediatrics are behind a massive cover-up about vaccine safety.” See you in the line for the flu shot.
