A Professor and Father’s “View” on Jenny McCarthy and Anti-Vaccination Forces In his newest essay for TheAtlantic.com, David M. Perry takes a firm, but compassionate stance in challenging the claims of anti-vaccination proponents, including the just-named co-host of The View, Jenny McCarthy. As the father of a child with special needs, Perry discusses the dangers and risks presented by the anti-vaccination movement and the harm that McCarthy presents given The View’s national audience comprised primarily of women of childbearing age. McCarthy puts “the full force of her celebrity to the task of convincing parents to leave their children vulnerable,” Perry says. Perry is an associate professor of history at Dominican University in River Forest, IL, whose writing and commentaries are published widely in The Atlantic, CNN.com and The Chronicle of Higher Education.
