Marcia, Marcia, Marcia is wayyyy miffed at anti-vaxxers.
Maureen McCormick, who played the eldest fair-haired daughter on “The Brady Bunch,” discovered that a Facebook anti-vaccination group has been using her image from the 1969 episode “Is There a Doctor in the House?” In it, the Brady kids catch measles.
