[See NewsBusters for more.] The co-hosts of The View on Friday slammed anti-vaccine conspiracy theorists as "nuts" and a danger to society. However, they avoided mentioning an awkward fact: Jenny McCarthy, an anti-vaccine conspiracy theorist, previously co-hosted the show. Whoopi Goldberg highlighted the story of a grandmother who wrote to an advice column about concerns over her conspiracy-minded adult children. Co-host Nicolle Wallace mocked, "I think the anti-vaccine people are nuts." She endorsed the grandmother's concerns. Goldberg pushed back against the anti-vaccine crowd: "I think things like vaccinations are much different than just about everything else because vaccinations and not vaccinating your child has consequences for everyone your kid is around."
