Jim Carrey Blasts New California Vaccination Law

Jim Carrey arrives for the world premiere of “The Incredible Burt Wonderstone” at Grauman’s Chinese Theatre in Los Angeles, in March 2013.

Canadian-born comedian Jim Carrey has gone on a bit of a Twitter tear, lashing out against California’s new mandatory vaccination law, insisting he’s not anti-vaccine, just “anti-neurotoxin”.

He stated that authorities concerned have affirmed that mercury in fish unsafe, but forcing children to have mercury in the form of vaccine is no risk.

The actor writes on Twitter, “California Gov says yes to poisoning more children with mercury and aluminum in manditory (sic) vaccines”.

Jim Carrey is slamming a new vaccine law in California, and he is calling Gov. Jerry Brown a “fascist” for signing the controversial bill which forces schoolchildren to be vaccinated regardless of their families’ personal beliefs.

The Golden Globe victor has taken public issue with vaccines since his ex- relationship with television personality and author Jenny McCarthy, who believes vaccines contributed to her son’s autism. “History will show that that was a reasonable request”, Carrey tweeted.

In several tweets, he urged people to watch a documentary based on an article edited by Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. on the science behind mercury-based preservatives in vaccines. Even though medical tests have repeatedly confirmed that there is no actual link between the measles immunization and autism, the actor is convinced that the toxins contained in the shot are, nevertheless, at blame.

Carrey has since removed the tweet and apologised for any distress he caused families by positing the images. “They are corrupt”.

“Yes the vaccination legislation was introduced, debated and then voted through to law by elected officials, but my bottom claims that this is fascism and who are we to argue?” stated Mr Carrey, through his arse. “Make sense?” NOT ALL” and “The CDC can’t solve a problem they helped start. Carrey is very vocal on his point of view that vaccines cause autism.

He said he signed the bill that while all medical interventions present some risks, there is evidence that such immunization “protects the community”.

The recent outbreak of Measles (which had previously been eradicated due to the MMR vaccine) spread to 17 states tipping the scales in favor of pro-vaccine campaigners.
