Refusing to vaccinate one's children is dangerous, not just to those children, but to the entire community.

President Obama, please direct Surgeon General Vivek Murthy to request that this disorder, to be called Jenny McCarthy Syndrome By Proxy, be added to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders.
