Mark Probert - 10 Jul 2008 21:02 GMT
Recently, Jenny McCarthy, former Playboy Bunny, and recipient of
silicone breast implants, became a national celebrity for her
outspokenness on the subject of vaccine safety and autism.

Jenny, probably brain damaged due to chrinic silicone exposure, is
firmly anti-vaccination.

Meanwhile, Amanda Peet, the upcoming star of the soon to be released X-
Files Movie, says:

What does concern her is the growing number of unvaccinated children
who are benefiting from the "shield" created by the inoculated—we are
protected from viruses only if everyone, or most everyone, is
immunized: "Frankly, I feel that parents who don't vaccinate their
children are parasites."

Clearly, silicone breast implants are not good for enhancing one's
thinking skills.

Why would they have any feelings?
It's like feelings of non-believers about having been baptized (or not)
as infants. Or circumcised. Why would there be any regrets?

The people who would have regrets are the ones whose lives were
affected. For example, the college students who were hospitalized with
mumps (after two MMR shots). They would prefer having had mumps in the
childhood.

Some celebrities cannot just mind their own business, it is not in their

Good question. Anti-vac liar merchants of disease, disability and
death do not have feelings.

Watch out for the anger of the anti-circumcisionists.

You mean like the immunocompromised kid in England who died because
Wakefield caused a panic resulting in a decreased uptake, thus
exposing the kid to measles? Yes, his parents have regrets. They also
have a dead son.

For example, the college students who were hospitalized with

No comparison. At least they are alive.

If she had feelings coupled with an intellectually honest social
empathy, she would not be promoting anti-vaccination. Unfortunately,
she has drunk the anti-vac kool-aid.

In the Matter of Mark Probert (Admitted as Mark S. Probert), a
Suspended Attorney, Respondent.
Grievance Committee for the Tenth Judicial District, Petitioner.

92-02731

SUPREME COURT OF NEW YORK, APPELLATE DIVISION, SECOND DEPARTMENT

183 A.D.2d 282; 590 N.Y.S.2d 747

November 9, 1992, Decided

PRIOR HISTORY:   [***1]

Disciplinary proceedings instituted by the Grievance Committee for the
Tenth Judicial District. Respondent was admitted to the Bar on
February 15, 1978, at a term of the Appellate Division of the Supreme
Court in the Second Judicial Department, under the name Mark S.
Probert.

DISPOSITION: Ordered that the petitioner's motion to impose discipline
upon the respondent based upon his failure to appear or answer is
granted; and it is further,

HEADNOTES: Attorney and Client - Disciplinary Proceedings

Respondent attorney, who is charged with 22 counts of failing to
cooperate with investigations of alleged misconduct by the Grievance
Committee, and who has failed to answer or appear, is disbarred.

COUNSEL:

Frank A. Finnerty, Jr., Westbury (Muriel L. Gennosa of counsel), for
petitioner.

JUDGES: Mangano, P. J., Thompson, Bracken, Sullivan and Harwood, JJ.,
concur.

Ordered that the petitioner's motion to impose discipline upon the
respondent based upon his failure to appear or answer is granted; and
it is further,

Ordered that pursuant to Judiciary Law § 90, effective immediately,
the respondent, Mark Probert, is disbarred and his name is stricken
from the roll of attorneys and counselors-at-law; and it is further,

Ordered that the respondent shall continue to comply with this Court's
rules governing the conduct of disbarred, suspended and resigned
attorneys (22 NYCRR 691.10); and it is further,

Ordered that pursuant to Judiciary [***2]  Law § 90, the respondent,
Mark Probert, is commanded to continue to desist and refrain (1) from
practicing law in any form, either as principal or as agent, clerk or
employee of another, (2) from appearing as an attorney or
counselor-at-law before any court, Judge, Justice, board, commission
or other public authority, (3) from giving to another an opinion as to
the law or its application or any advice in relation thereto, and (4)
from holding himself out in any way as an attorney and
counselor-at-law.

OPINIONBY: Per Curiam.

OPINION:  [*282]

[**747]  By decision and order of this Court dated September 29,
1989, the respondent was suspended from the practice of law until the
further order of this Court based upon his failure to cooperate with
the Grievance Committee. By further order of this Court dated June 4,
1992, the Grievance Committee was authorized to institute and
prosecute a disciplinary proceeding  [*283]  against the respondent
and the Honorable Moses M. Weinstein was appointed as Special Referee.

[**748]  A notice of petition and petition was personally served upon
the respondent on July 2, 1992. No answer was forthcoming. The
petitioner now moves to hold the [***3]  respondent in default. The
motion was personally served upon the respondent on August 14, 1992.
The respondent has failed to submit any papers in response to the
default motion.

The charges involve 22 counts of the respondent's failure to cooperate
with the Grievance Committee in its investigations into complaints of
professional misconduct.

The charges, if established, would require the imposition of a
disciplinary sanction against the respondent. Since the respondent has
chosen not to appear or answer in these proceedings, the charges must
be deemed established. The petitioner's motion to hold the respondent
in default and impose discipline is, therefore, granted. Accordingly,
the respondent is disbarred and his name is stricken from the roll of
attorneys and counselors-at-law, effective immediately

Topic changed twice: first, from feelings of "anti-vaccine people"
specifically about their own vaccination to their feelings in general,
then to their alleged dishonesty. Can't keep up?

They are free to preach their  point, and there is nothing wrong with
that. They are not trying to ban circumcision.

You do not call them parasites? You just did!

Here is another example of parasites: people who refuse to join a prayer
for rain, and then benefit from the good crops. Any true believer would
be as convinced (and misguided) as Amanda.

And here are some who are not parasites or freeloaders or whatever:
organizing "measles parties" for their children, so they could get
measles and avoid a jab. And please no stories about measles in Africa,
this is about Germany.

No, she just says that they are causing their kids autism and that
they are promoting BogPharma. She is attacking vaccination which
causes real problems.

Of course, you would see nothing wrong with that.

It seems mostly to go the other way.  Having no experience with
polio, pertussis, etc. they don't take them seriously.

You see this in other generational cycles.  Street drugs go
that way: one generation will have enough experience with
(e.g.) heroin that kids will have first-hand reason to stay
away from it -- but with minimal experience with cocaine so
they take it up.  Eventually the heroin addicts die out and
heroin starts to look better than cocaine.

Another one is tattoos; those of us who grew up knowing old
people who had regrets for the tattoos they picked up in
WWII avoided them.  Eventually they died out and the practice
is back in fashion, but there's already a good bit of "Ewww!"
factore towards them in the younger kids.

Dead on target. The police around here are rounding up heroin dealers
left and right. An 18 year old girl was hooked on it and died. Seems
heroin is going through a resurgence.

Well, since they are alive, but clearly lacking critical thinking
skills, they no, I expect them not to have regrets.

I looked up Jenny and Amanda's biographies on the IMDB, and, clearly,
Amanda has used her brain, and Jenny has used everything, except her
brain, to further their careers.

Not funny. What Mark "forgot" to mention is that Jenny McCarthy has an
autistic child. This is much more relevant to the story that breast
implants or Playboy.

This is just in my opinion Mark striking out against others who hold
that vaccinations and silicone breast implants to be risky business.

Mark likely sees silicone breast implants as relatively safe.
Though perhaps I am confusing him with Mark Thorson.

And far as I can tell Jenny is as qualtified as Mark when it
comes to opinions on this matter.

Personally I assume these things have risks such that I don't think
some tinhorn Texas state representative should be making additional
vaccinations the law of that land. On the other hand, I am not
adamently
antivaccination like Cee and his ilk rather I take the subject on a
case by a case basis.
I do wish for better resources on which to make choices on vaccines.
Too many in the health community walk in lock step without much
critical
thinking .....too much nursing process and too little over all
observation.

Half-right, which is a 50% improvement for you.

Anti-vaccinationists disgust me.

Nope. Never said that. I am greatly concerned with the failure rate

Fair enough.

There are many sources of excellent, fact based information.
Unfortunately, the noise from the anti-vac liars drowns that out.

Did you mean Texas Governor Rick Perry who issued an executive order
mandating Gardasil jabs for schoolgirls? His ties to Gardasil
manufacturer Merck were noted in the press at the time. With this order
he tried to bypass the legislature, and in subsequent political fight
the legislature effectively blocked the order.

For Mark P it is the same: "not adamantly" but anti-vaccination
nevertheless. For him, anybody who has a doubt about any vaccine or
vaccination schedule is an anti-vac liar (TM) and a Merchant of Disease,
Disability and Death (TM).

But you clearly omitted the fact that Amanda is a mother of a child
who, like Jenny's, was vaccinated and Amanda's child does NOT have
autism, meaning that Amanda has potentially, even more relevance.

Futher, Amanda claims that she wanted to do the research and rely on
the best available science, while Jenny merely wants to rely on
superstition and stoke the hype, empirical evidence and studies are to
be dismissed.

Jenny has cultivated her public persona, and regrettably the real
Jenny seems not altogether unlike it.  When Jenny publishes something
or goes live on a public forum and refutes this perception of her
"persona" then people might start considering taking her differently,
but that's never going to happen.

"...Lynn and his two co-authors argue that average IQ is an excellent
predictor of what proportion of the population are true believers,
across 137 countries. They also cite surveys of the US Academy of
Sciences and UK Royal Academy showing single-digit rates of religious
belief among academics.

That professional skeptics don't believe in a creator is perhaps not
all that surprising. Lynn argues, however, that it is their
intelligence that directly gives rise to the boffinated classes' non-
God-bothering tendencies. He said: "Why should fewer academics believe
in God than the general population? I believe it is simply a matter of
the IQ. Academics have higher IQs than the general population."

Lynn pointed out that most children do believe in God, but as their
intelligence develops they tend to have doubts or reject religion.
Similarly, as average IQ in Western societies increased through the
20th century, so did rates of atheism, he said...."
