Jenny McCarthy a 'false prophet' for her views on vaccines and autism
The South Side native hasn't fired back - yet.
Motherlode in the New York Times is labeling Jenny one of the "false prophets of autism."
And Fox's Greg Gutfeld suggests "there should be a vaccination for stupidity."
Meanwhile, the managing editor of Slate's "XXfactor" takes aim at Chicago's St. Oprah and McCarthy for dispensing fraudulent medical advice.
Writes Jennifer Grose:
McCarthy is an advocate who believes that vaccines played a role in causing her son's autism, and just a few days ago the only research that showed that vaccines and autism were linked was completely discredited. Who knows how many people have not vaccinated their children and potentially caused a resurgence of disease because of McCarthy's misinformation?
Listen you little weirdo ...

Brother Rice alum John C. Reilly has done so much goofy (think "Stepbrothers" and "Talladega Nights") you might forget he's not a one-note Johnny. Proof of that looks to be coming in the new film "Cyrus."
Reilly plays John, whose ex-wife is about to remarry. But he meets the woman of his dreams (Marissa Tomei) ... and her son, Cyrus, played by the wonderfully deadpan Jonah Hill. And Cyrus is a little weirdo.
Mekado Murphy, in the New York Times Art Beat column, says "Cyrus takes an insightful, funny and sometimes heartbreaking look at love and family in contemporary Los Angeles."
Check out the trailer.
