Amanda Peet Pictures: AMANDA PEET SORRY FOR BAD REMARKS

Hollywood star Amanda Peet is very sorry for calling parents who refuse to vaccinate their children "parasites" in a lifestyle and family magazine story. In the latest issue of Cookie, the new mother has hammered celebrities such as Jenny McCarthy and Charlie Sheen who vocally oppose vaccinations. In an article about motherhood, the actress says, "There are a lot of misconceptions about the dangers of vaccinations ... (but) frankly, I feel that parents who don't vaccinate their children are parasites."Peet is now backtracking after upsetting family groups with her remarks. In a statement, she says, "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. Since my mom has Parkinson's Disease, I know what it feels like to want a concrete cause, and a concrete cure, as soon as possible. However, I still believe that the decision not to vaccinate our children bodes for a dangerous future."McCarthy is among those fighting vaccinations, claiming birth injections contributed to her son's autism.
