A gathering of fools...

More like total assholes.

Jenny McCarthy is Leading an “Autism Education Summit” This Weekend With Many Other Anti-Vaxxers

September 29, 2016 by Hemant Mehta 146 Comments

The Autism Education Summit takes place this weekend in Dallas, Texas.

And one of the keynote panelists is Jenny McCarthy.

Jenny McCarthy. Seriously.

What’s next? A climate change conference organized by Sen. James Inhofe?



There’s a reason McCarthy, who falsely and dangerously promotes the idea that vaccines may lead to autism, is part of this event. It’s sponsored by Generation Rescue, McCarthy’s organization. That’s also why many of those other panelists share her misguided, fact-free views on vaccines.
