Credit Where It’s Due
Posted on August 6th, 2008 by timalmond
It’s a frequent annoyance of mine that the dumb views of celebrity on scientific issues are given so much airing, so much credit to Amanda Peet (Changing Lanes, Something’s Gotta Give) for this over childhood vaccinations:-
“I’m not a doctor, which brings me to another point. It seems like the media is often giving celebrities and actors more authority on this issue than they’re giving the experts and that’s a sad fact. And I know that’s a paradox - that’s part of why I wanted to become a spokesperson, so I could say, ‘Please don’t listen to me, don’t listen to the actors, go to the experts.’”
