I hope you're not playing the 'free speech' card.
This woman and those of her ilk spread their lies and misinformation for profit by exploiting the gullible and putting children, the elderly and the immunosuppressed at risk. There is absolutely no scientific basis for her quackery and bullshit. There was no vaccines debate until Andrew Wakefield's shameful garbage in the Lancet - later retracted and himself struck off - that gave buffoons like Jenny McCarthy and Tenpenny a launchpad to metastisise their derp.
She's a scam artist who gets away with her nonsense because she deals in a field that is not readily understood: "Vaccines cause Asthma and Autism and everything in between [sic] - look at this superficially appealing chart that would barely qualify as specious reasoning and here are some pictures of crying kids getting jabbed with photoshopped needles the size of harpoons!".
"Well gee, I don't know what an antigen is, I once caught flu from my flushot [sic] and I can't even stand hearing little Shaniqua crying when she's hungry so... You make a good point Tenpenny! No vaccines it is!"
If she was touring the country peddling similarly harmful nonsense that is more readily understood, like being an advocate for say, not brushing your child's teeth because fluoride(!!!111), or pushing for the legal drinking age to be lowered to 12, she'd be rightly ignored for being the confidence trickster she is.
Instead, pertussis and measles are on the rise and many millions of research dollars are being wasted refuting and re-refuting a problem that never existed in the first place.
