Amanda Peet recently had a baby and decided to jump in one of parenting’s new controversial topics: immunizations.  This is what went down…

More pictures after the jump…

Amanda has a beautiful toddler daughter named Frances.   Every new parent is concerned over their child’s health and so was she.  She was concerned over getting all of those shots, so she consulted her brother in law, who is a doctor.  Then, Amanda did more research and found that shots are more helpful than harmful, by a long shot.  Ha ha.  get it?

Anyway, other stars like Jenny McCarthy and Denise Richards are touting the evils of shots and the potential they have to cause autism or other harmful conditions.  Peet responds to that in Cookie Magazine by saying:

“Frankly, I feel that parents who don’t vaccinate their children are parasites.”

That will get your name off their party invitations!  Since her comments were printed, the outcry has been tremendous and Peet has apologized for the remarks, but still maintains her stand that shots are important. 

Do you think the shot controversy is justified?
