jenny mccarthy?aybe it's just me, but i don't think it's a good idea to take medical advice from a non-doctor. a lot of my old friends disagreed, and i miss them every day. here's the deal -- jenny mccarthy went on the oprah winfrey show in 2007 to talk about the link between autism and vaccinations and said -- "first thing i did -- google. i put in "autism" and i started my research. the university of google is where i got my degree from." google university! man, that must be some school! after all, how else would she have acquired enough knowledge to write three books on autism? three! to be fair, jenny was primarily influenced by a paper written by a doctor andrew wakefield, so at least her source was a doctor. >> the supposed link between autism and vaccines was championed by british sign test -- championed by british scientist andrew wakefield but his paper was redacted. he took $600,000 from lawyers to do the study. it was proven to show that the study was fraudulent and he coerced patients. we

i know jenny mccarthy disagrees with what i'm saying. she's been a big voice with what she saw with her kid and then later with the diet, it's probably some genetic, whether it's genes or some external force that's causing this, could be a diet, or whatever it is. >> chemicals. >> eric, we're better at diagnosing autism now. we understand it a little bit better and still have a long way to go. to scare people to say this vaccine can cause autism, that's a mistake. maybe through the borders, we have kids coming from other countries not vaccinated and south america other kids coming and in europe the amount of vaccination has gone down. >> we covered that story extensively here. are they examined by the cdc, the health authorities in the state of arizona? >> not to the extent of their vaccination records -- >> do you think that is a public health problem eventually? >> of course. that's a huge concern. i'm not into politics of this. from a health standpoint you have a lot of unvaccinated kids coming in, my child and his child are in danger

i know jenny mccarthy disagrees with what i'm saying. she's been a big voice about what she saw with her kids. and then later on, this autism went away. i think the reason behind autism is probably something genetic. where it's genes or some external force that's causing this. it could be our diet. >> talk about chemicals. >> chemicals, but also, eric, we are also better in diagnosing autism now. we understand the disease maybe a little bit better. we still have a long way to go. but to scare people to say that this vaccine can cause autism, that's a mistake. and people want to know. the other thing is maybe through the borders, we have a lot of kids that are coming from other countries that are not vaccinated. and certainly from south america, there are a lot of kids coming. in europe, the number of vaccinations has gone down. >> the kids, when they come over the border, course, covered that story extensively. are they examined by the cdc? are the state health authorities in texas and arizona? >> not to the extent that we will know all

if you get it you won't be happy. >> jenni mccarthy -- it was all about an autism thing.started with the quack doctor in texas. we wakefield. >> the cdc never proved it. just by you saying that you will not just get letters, but angry letters and they will talk about andrew wakefield. i go back to my point i made last week. there are certain things that are defined as blasphemous. if you won't come out for vaccines that is blass blasphemous. i have a friend who didn't vaccinate and she has a child who is severely autistic. how about that? >> what worries you more the measles outbreak or you spend the night at your friend's because you got an early start. >> the latter is more likely, but measles is scarier. i hope neither happened, but if they knew, go and see a doctor. >> there you go. >> you could have appeared on any local news station with that response. >> there is nothing more american that football and infectious diseases. i think the big winners of this whole thing are the people who are smoking pot and seeing the game. i think that it should be encouraged because

the whole autism thing i think is debunked between jenny mccarthy and the doctor from austin, texas.nate your kids. >> it really is a lot cheaper to pay for vaccinations than to pay for these outbreaks. a lot of the payments are coming from cash-strapped local government. >> sure. up until now i think this felt like a very personal decision for a lot of people because there wasn't or didn't feel like there was a real risk of outbreak. this is one of those interesting places where we come full circle politically right? they felt like it was a very personal choice for them. i guess a lot of people are calculating this differently now they see there are real risks of this spreading. >> you think this vaccination should be mandatory? >> yes. i didn't feel comfortable wearing a seat belt when the law was first put into form years ago. now i wouldn't think about it. polio was supposed to be a trillion dollar disease. it's been eradicated through prevention. if we can force people to drive the speed limit we can force people to get health insurance, we can force people to get these vaccinat
