That is, Jenny McCarthy , ditzy mummy who opposes vaccinations because she thinks they cause autism, and Amanda Peet , smart woman who knows that inoculation is a great benefit. McCarthy has just sniped at Peet : "(Peet) has a lot of [nerve] to come forward and be on that side, because there is an angry mob on my side, and I like the fact that I can say she's completely wrong. I look at (Peet) now...
