Oprah's views are ethical views, not mere "opinions" as she and her
producers would like to hide behind. They are damaging to people's
health, and prey on the weakest and most ill informed members of
society.

 I quote this recent Globe and Mail article at length:
"McCarthy's promotion of anti-vaccine propaganda and pseudoscience is,
quite simply, so egregious and such a threat to public health that
even the Oprah-friendly (or Oprah-intimidated) media has become
alarmed.

 Reporters have tried to get a statement from Oprah. From an article on
a recent TV documentary, The Oprah Effect:

 "Asked if Oprah or her show endorses McCarthy's views, a
representative for Oprah's program said, `We don't take positions on
the opinions of our guests. Rather, we offer a platform for guests to
share their first-person stories in an effort to inform the audience
and put a human face on topics relevant to them.' When McCarthy's
views have been discussed on the air, statements from the Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention and the American Academy of Pediatrics
saying that there's no scientific evidence of a vaccine-autism link
have been read.""
