Another idiot celebrity anti-vaccination family- Jay Cutler and Wife [View all]

Reality television personality Kristin Cavallari appeared on Fox News today and disclosed that she and her husband, Chicago Bears quarterback Jay Cutler, are not vaccinating their children because they are worried about their offspring developing autism. In Cavallari’s words, “I’ve read too many books and studies.” She then went on to describe an anti-vaccination group she is a part of and how none of them have been vaccinated and they haven’t had one case of autism. Sounds like a pretty scientific study from Ms. Cavallari.

Sadly, Culter and Cavallari have fallen victim to conjecture and disproven theories and not only are putting their own children at risk, they are risking the health of other families around them.
