b'This week\\u2019s selection is Law & Order: SVU\\u2019s swipe at the anti-vax movement\\u2014\\u201cGranting Immunity\\u201d (S16E19)\\u2014which puts the vulnerable Baby Doe in the path of a measles outbreak spawned by the casual dismissal of science by rich dick Tribeca parents who clearly know more than epidemiologists and have conspired to circumvent New York\\u2019s mandated vaccinations for all students. This leads the Munchie Boys to investigate just what started this anti-vax MMR-causes-autism nonsense that\\u2019s since metastasized in much more widespread and nefarious ways. Don\\u2019t worry, there\\u2019s also plenty of fun to be had, including (but not limited to) the virtues of Susie Essman, the horrors of opening montage music, the hilarious inappropriateness of filmed teenage sex parties, and the watercooler TV-watching habits of the dedicated detectives of the Special Victims Unit. Is this the scariest episode of SVU in Munchstory? Only one way to find out.
