NextIteration June 22, 2014 Share June 22, 2014 (edited) Some of the unvaccinated in California are immigrants from other countries, many of whom can't get and/or afford medical care here. And so they and their kids may get whooping cough (or other diseases). I am in my 40'S and live in Ohio, and my doctor just gave me the shot as well as she said many elderly around here are coming down with it. I'm not sure what's going on. Vaccinations for children can be free. For some reason I cannot get below this quote to expand on it. For public consumption, Jenny says too many too fast, and that parents should ask for the compounded vaccinations separately (MMR, DPT). She has never changed her story about how Evan "contracted" autism, and she claims that he is now recovered. Hogwash, if he's recovered, he never had it. The thing about separating the compounded vaccinations is that, that type would no longer be free to the uninsured or most likely, children on medicaid. Two of her books are about being the mother with a child with autism, one of them specifically about "healing and recovering" from it. Also, she and many of the doctors that she appeared on Oprah, CNN etc.. with, also suggest dangerous biomedical "cures"; a lot of these doctors are essentially quacks. This whole trend takes away herd immunity, which means that children and adults that cannot have vaccines due to some illnesses and immunity deficiencies along with newborns that are too young for them, are unnecessarily exposed. Was/Is Jenny McCarthy really "ANTI" vaccine? Anti-vaccine in all situations? For all methods? For all people? Edited June 23, 2014 by NextIteration 1 Link to comment

Former Nun June 27, 2014 Share June 27, 2014 I just read that Jenny McCarthy is leaving along with Sheri Shepherd. What's going on over there? If true, I'm sorry to see Jenny go. She hasn't been given the best shot on this show--and she just moved her son from Chicago to NYC. That said, ANYTHING will please me if it makes Sherri Shepherd go away from a venue where she gets to spout her opinions and act like a fool. I just can't believe it will happen. 4 Link to comment

Eileen Dover June 27, 2014 Share June 27, 2014 Jenny would have to move her son to NYC anyway if she marries Donnie W., who works on Blue Bloods in NYC. Good thing she caught herself a (soon-to-be) huzzbin (tm Sherri S.) to take care of them! I do feel bad for Jenny. She really wasn't given enough of a chance. She was so sincere with thanking BW during her farewell for the opportunity of a lifetime to sit at the table. 6 Link to comment
Bronzedog June 27, 2014 Share June 27, 2014 I don't think they gave her much of a chance either but then she doesn't seem to have much of a personality. TPTB did manage to use her to get Donnie Wahlberg as a cohost the same week that they dumped her, though. Cold. Link to comment
stillbored June 27, 2014 Share June 27, 2014 Why wasn't her son living with her all along? And who was he living with?

Thanks to everyone at the show for your dedication and an amazing year." Her contract was only for one year and it wasn't renewed. So how can she say if Sherri goes, she goes? She was going regardless if Sherri left or not. She is making it sound like she had the option to stay and is leaving because Sherri is leaving. Am I right? 4 Link to comment
mtlchick June 27, 2014 Share June 27, 2014 I bet Jenny really is pissed after moving Evan and 2 "adopted" kids for the summer (?) Donnie's older son is 21, his younger one will be 13 in August. I think he normally has the younger one during the summer months anyway. Why wasn't her son living with her all along? And who was he living with? Family in Chicago (though I think she said "a male couple" at one point as well.) 1 Link to comment
Tunia June 27, 2014 Share June 27, 2014 Why wasn't her son living with her all along? Jenny had stated a while back that it was important to Evan to remain in his present class until the end of the school year and she agreed with him. Once his school year ended, she moved him to NY. At least Jenny and Evan have a soft spot to land, with Donnie being based in NY also. 3 Link to comment

pivot June 28, 2014 Share June 28, 2014 According to the news pieces on the firings, Jenny was gone regardless and Sherri and the team couldn't come to terms on contract. So, Jenny was lying by saying if Sherri goes, she goes. Jenny was gone regardless. Doesn't surprise me in the slightest. Lots of women were pissed by ABC giving a platform to that anti-vaxx nutjob and weren't going to watch the show because of her. Glad to see her gone. 2 Link to comment
mtlchick June 29, 2014 Share June 29, 2014 I'm beginning to suspect that she knew that it wasn't going to be renewed for a while now. She was scheduled to do her comedy tour (yes she has one) in the New Jersey area this weekend but they were pulled a few weeks ago (her best friend said they were being "rescheduled.") Could be due to ticket sales as I knew people who planned on going and you could still pull up 4th row when they last checked a month ago, but now it seems a but too coincidental. She is also out of the country: http://pagesix.com/2014/06/27/jenny-mccarthy-flees-to-turks-caicos-after-view-firing/ 1 Link to comment
LuckyBitch July 4, 2014 Share July 4, 2014 (edited) I also think that Jenny knew for a while that her contract wasn't going to be renewed. There were rumors of that almost all season. Also, I don't think this has been posted here before - I was looking for something else at ET online and I found this from last week, Tuesday, June 24th. I don't remember this being discussed at all here but it was two days before the official word came out last Thursday, June 26th: REPORT: Jenny McCarthy May Not Be Returning To 'The View' Next Season June 24, 2014 More shake-ups at The View may be on the horizon, according to a report by FOX411 which states that a source close to the show has revealed that Jenny McCarthy's contract may not get renewed. Current host and former Playboy Playmate Jenny McCarthy has been a host on the ABC daytime round-table talk show for only one season, but according to Fox's source, ABC wasn't happy with the ratings after the addition of McCarthy to the panel, and is likely not going to renew her contract when it comes up in July. ABC is prohibited from discussing on-going negotiations and talent contracts, but told FOX411 that, "Jenny has been a welcome addition to the show." McCarthy joined The View last year as a replacement for conservative host Elisabeth Hasselbeck, who moved over to Fox News to co-host their day-time panel discussion program Fox & Friends. According to the report, The View's rating have dipped in the last season and, while the show still has the highest ratings for its style of programming, ratings for the CBS show The Talk have been steadily increasing. No official comment from ABC or McCarthy's representative about her contract renewal have yet been made. Edited July 4, 2014 by LuckyBitch Link to comment
ginger90 July 4, 2014 Share July 4, 2014 according to Fox's source, ABC wasn't happy with the ratings after the addition of McCarthy to the panel The "source", hmmmm. And ABC wasn't happy with the ratings? If that's the case, it wasn't Jenny's fault, imo. 5 Link to comment
maggiemae July 4, 2014 Share July 4, 2014 (edited) Really, hiring Jenny to bring the fluff, and the whole new format including THE YEAR OF BARBARA, selfies, lack of A-listers, tepid topics, allowing to Sherri to spiral even more out of control has nothing to do with the ratings this season - all Jenny's fault/ sarcasm Oh - and ABC, BW and BG had nothing to do with it - so even more all Jenny's fault.

Former Nun July 4, 2014 Share July 4, 2014 I've been thinking about Jenny McCarthy and realized that she did have a persona for awhile that was "the clumsy pretty girl." She made all kinds of goofy faces and tried out some sort of slapstick comedy that I hoped she'd give up. Apparently she did. Then came The View. Wonder what's next. She is a smart and pretty girl. I hope she has good advisers now that she has some money. 4 Link to comment
Cosmocrush July 4, 2014 Share July 4, 2014 (edited) 800 cases? Yikes. I wonder what the stats were like before JM began her crusade. I've followed the vaccine subject on various boards for years and it seems to me the anti-vaccine crowd has shifted their focus a bit from autism to Alzheimer's, as well as from autism to "I decide what I put into my child's body, not the government." Herd immunity be damned, I guess. I'm late to the party (just catching up on this thread) but I saw an interactive map the other day (created by the Council on Foreign Relations) that help explains the impact of the anti-vaccine movement on preventable diseases worldwide. It also answers your question @Milk-Eyed Mender. For example, I filtered the map for just measles at 2008, then slide to 2014. It's pretty cool. I found the link in a blog that mentioned McCarthy by name in leading the crusade as an anti-vaccine activist. I don't think her influence can be underestimated. I remember seeing the Frontline documentary on the subject years ago - and she was prominently featured then. I think McCarthy was more than a celebrity 'endorser' , she was a true activist and make a big impact on this issue. Here is The Map of Vaccine-Preventable Outbreaks.

mtlchick July 9, 2014 Share July 9, 2014 Slapping a muzzle on her and this week? When she was officially hired at this time last year, a lot of people speculated that she has an outlet to voice her opinions on vaccines. But I think even she knew that if it was mentioned on air, she would be dealing with a lot of headaches, so she "played it safe" (according to US magazine) and kept quiet. Whether she decided to "muzzle" herself so the average viewer can relate to her more or if it was the producers' idea, it didn't work. Now that she's on the way out, she simply doesn't care and letting it all out. But I do think she had too much baggage coming into this from the start. The average viewer is over 60 years old, how are they going to really relate to someone who's 20 years younger with a questionable history? 1 Link to comment
Lava VaVoom July 9, 2014 Share July 9, 2014 The 60-yr-old average viewer isn't important, and where do you get your facts about who their "average viewer" is? What's important to the advertisers (and they are the only ones who matter) is the audience they want to reach, and it's not 60-yr-olds. 1 Link to comment
mtlchick July 9, 2014 Share July 9, 2014 The 60-yr-old average viewer isn't important, and where do you get your facts about who their "average viewer" is? Found it in an article about 2 weeks ago (and I'm trying to locate it,) and the age IS important: the average age when the show started was about 46, now it's 61. So it's been trending upwards for years. This year, 18-49 demo dropped by 4%. Link to comment
Tunia July 9, 2014 Share July 9, 2014 the age IS important Yes, it certainly is as it's important to the advertisers who back the show. Advertisers like to skew to the 18-49 age bracket since historically, those are the people with the spending power and the desire to purchase. Once viewers start approaching retirement age, they tend to be spending less and/or set in their ways and relying on "same old" products as opposed to trying new, more expensive products. The advertisers have most of the control and power, which is why it's always a hefty threat when disgruntled viewers rally to boycott an advertiser's product. Advertisers listen, even when TPTB at the actual show don't. No advertisers, no backing, no show, plain and simple. 4 Link to comment
Lava VaVoom July 9, 2014 Share July 9, 2014 Thank you, Tunia, that's what I was trying to say. The View's average viewer is not part of the desirable demographic. Even though we have more money to spend, our brand loyalties are well-established. 2 Link to comment
Morgalisa July 11, 2014 Share July 11, 2014 Wendy Williams seems to have that 18-49 demo. Her audience resembles Oprah's (old) audience, young, fashionable, well dressed, diverse. The View audience sometimes looks like me at home on my couch. 2 Link to comment
LuckyBitch July 13, 2014 Share July 13, 2014 Jenny commented on Rosie's hiring, and she also said that she will be announcing something "big" on tomorrow's show: 'They're going in the direction of fire!' Jenny McCarthy reveals she supports Rosie O'Donnell's return to The View Jenny McCarthy might have been tossed from the hit ABC talk show The View, but she’s apparently not holding any grudges. Upon learning that Rosie O’Donnell would return to the show that Barbara Walters created, Jenny said she believed the loud-mouth comedienne would take the show in the direction producers want. 'I love Rosie. I have been a fan of hers forever,' the 41-year-old blonde told reporters on Friday at The Palazzo Las Vegas. 'I knew they were looking to bring some heat to the table and there is no doubt that with Rosie there will be some heat. They are definitely going in the direction of fire.' The former Playboy model, who flew to Miami on Saturday for her Dirty Sexy Funny comedy show at the Magic City Casino, seems back to her bubbly self just weeks after she and Sherri Shepherd announced they were leaving the show. ABC implied in a statement the two were fired and producers were looking for replacements to back up Whoopi Goldberg, the show's only remaining co-host. Rosie left the show in 2007 after just eight months following an on-air fight with former co-host Elisabeth Hasselbeck. Hasselbeck did not hide her outrage over Rosie's return on Fox And Friends Wednesday, alleging that she believed the deal to bring back O'Donnell had 'been in the works for a long time.' But Jenny, who is engaged to actor Donnie Wahlberg, refused to be critical. 'It's going to be some exciting television,' she admitted. 'I will be there with my beer and popcorn at eleven in the morning. I can't wait to see how it plays out.' McCarthy - who incorrectly predicted in a pre-exit interview that she would be on the daytime talk show in 20 years - seems to have already moved on, too. 'Monday there will be a big announcement,' she said. 'Everyone should do something they love doing but that shows off their strengths and have fun while doing it.' Link to comment
