Green Our Vaccines: Jim Carrey and Jenny McCarthy Get Political

Who says it ain't easy bein' green? Jim Carrey and Jenny McCarthy flexed their political muscles today as they marched on Washington in support of Green Our Vaccines, an organization that seeks to raise awareness about toxins in childhood vaccines.

Carrey led 8,500 people through the streets of Washington, D.C., Wednesday, along with his daughter Jane and McCarthy and her son Evan. Of Evan, Carrey said, "He taught me how to love. And without Evan I might never have seen the greatness of Jenny's spirit."

Carrey was equally gushing about girlfriend McCarthy when he spoke to the families, lawmakers and other activists that had gathered for the rally, saying that she was "the source of all that is good" in his life.

Wow - political activism and public declarations of love all in the same day. Celebrities really are more productive than the rest of us. I only managed to shower and go to Starbucks today.

Jenny McCarthy Says Vaccines Cause Autism

Jenny McCarthy was interviewed by an NBC affiliate on Monday, and the actress/ex-Playboy Playmate/Jim Carrey's girlfriend was outspoken in her opinion that childhood vaccines cause autism. McCarthy, whose son Evan, 5, was diagnosed at the age of two, says she isn't necessarily anti-vaccine, but anti toxin. "Take the crap out. Get rid of the ether, the antifreeze, the mercury, the aluminum," she said. "They're just cheap preservatives. I'd pay four times as much for a clean vaccine!"

Although Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have said ingredients in vaccines have never been proven to cause autism, McCarthy argues that they contain neurotoxins that, along with many other ingredients actually "trigger" autism in susceptible children.

Expect punches to be thrown (figuratively, I hope) on both sides of this issue. I don't have any first-hand knowledge of autism and I've always been pro-vaccine, but the possibility that antifreeze may have been an ingredient? Slightly alarming.
