Actress and mama Amanda Peet published an apology in Cookie for calling parents who don’t vaccinate their kids “parasites” during an interview. The mother of 18-month-old Frances said:
I believe in my heart that my use of the word "parasites" was mean and divisive; I completely understand why it offended some parents, and in particular, parents of children with autism who feel that vaccines caused their illness. For this I am truly sorry.
What are your thoughts on her apology?

The debate over vaccinations and autism is a pretty heated one. I think that Amanda really chose her words poorly and that she is really sorry for that. I mean, who among us hasn't spoken before we really think it through and then regret what we've said? Unfortunately for Amanda, the whole world gets to see her mistake.
