Notorious anti-vaxxer (or, as she has put it, “pro-safe-vaccine-schedule”… person) Jenny McCarthy appeared this week on The Drew Barrymore Show. A simple question Barrymore could have asked, a common one in this day and age, is, “Have you been vaccinated?” She could have sold it innocently! I would have loved that. Barrymore, though, did not—she doesn’t like “hot topics” but “warm” ones, and aspires to a tonal “pretty little middle” that doesn’t risk offending anyone. I mean, I’d argue that herd immunity is the prettiest little middle I could imagine, but I guess that’s why Barrymore is the one with the talk show and I’m just here writing about it. Barrymore did ask McCarthy about her Masked Singer process. Apparently, McCarthy is “good” at guessing the performers on the show? Her answer did not include, “Well I look the notes the producers give me and just kind of sell them.”
