Pro-vaccine crusader Amanda Peet, who starred in The X-Files and 2012, caused an uproar some time ago when she told ‘Cookie Magazine ‘ “Frankly, I feel that parents who don’t vaccinate their children are parasites.” Described on Wikipedia as the daughter of a Jewish social worker mother and a Quaker corporate lawyer father, Peet is probably the most outspoken celebrity advocate of trusting the government and medical establishments. Turns out it runs in her family! She’s the daughter in law of former Federal Reserve Chairman Stephen Friedman, the consumate corrupt government insider and spook.
The actress, a new mom in 2007, had heard concerns from friends about vaccines and sought advice from her sister’s husband, a physician. In this one minute video interview, she explained how she came to her conclusion to embrace vaccines: (embedded below, it’s a must see.)
“...there are a lot of misconceptions about the dangers of vaccinations and in particular the associations with autism, um, and I found it to just be really sad. So much of the energy is bring redirected, um, to the association between vaccinations and autism, and it’s taking away, um, the money, and research…”
Peet’s brother in law introduced her to Dr. Paul Offit, “Chief, Division of Infectious Diseases Director, Vaccine Education Center” at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia.
Cookie Magazine reported Peet’s impression of the Offit:
“Once we had spoken, I was shocked at the amount of misinformation floating around, particularly in Hollywood,” including the unproven link between certain vaccines and autism; the safety of preservatives like mercury-based thimerosal; and the fear that the relatively high number of shots kids receive today can overwhelm young immune systems.”
Actress Jenny McCarthy, holds the opposite views and is on the board of Generation Rescue, described as “an international movement of scientists, physicians and parent-volunteers researching the causes and treatments for autism”. “We are pro–safe vaccine..I used to be [Peet] before I had a kid with autism”, she said. McCarthy, a high profile spokesperson, has been featured in TIME Magazine debating the issue is amost always brought up when the topic arises.
After Peet’s remarks caused a public uproar, she apologized for referring to parents as “parasites”, but in the same breath referred to anti-vaccine proponants as “fringe medical groups” and “fringe scientists”. She said that the growth of the anti- vaccine movement “bodes for a dangerous future”, and insisted “vast reductions in immunization will lead to a resurgence of deadly viruses. This is as indisputable as global warming.” She insisted that there’s no ‘massive cover-up’, and that autism and vaccines are not linked.
Offit is on the board of directors of “Every Child By Two”, a rabid pro-vaccine establishment group founded by Jimmy Carter’s wife. Actress Peet is now doing public service announcements for them.
ECBT spouts that Rosalynn Carter and Former Senator Dale Bumper’s wife Betty “have been working on immunizations since their husbands were governors in the early 70′s“. They “highlight the need for continued vigilance to ensure that the 12,000 babies born every day receive life saving vaccines in a timely manner.” ECBT works in conjunction with the “Centers for Disease Control and Prevention” and advocates “electronic immunization registries” to be ‘implemented throughout our country’. They want to track all children’s vaccine records to ensure compliance, and link federal WIC recipients into the vaccine-tracking database.
….. Peet married screenwriter David Benioff on September 30, 2006 and gave birth to her daughter less than five months later. On Dec. 10, 09 she announced they are expecting their second child.
Wikipedia reports “Born David Friedman in New York City, he changed his name to David Benioff, his mother’s maiden name. He is the youngest of three, with 2 sisters, Suzy Cohen, and Caroline Levy…Benioff’s father, Stephen Friedman, is the former head of Goldman Sachs”.
The Federal Reserve Bank website notes on Friedman’s bio that he is a member of the Council on Foreign Relations, and “is chairman of the President’s Foreign Intelligence Advisory Board and of the Intelligence Oversight Board. From December 2002 to December 2004, he served as assistant to President George W. Bush for Economic Policy and director of the National Economic Council.”
