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.

Mandy,
What schedule do you follow? I’m worried about vaccinating my son and was wondering what to give him. He has only had his hepatitis shot at birth.
But have you ever seen kids with pertussis struggling to breathe in the middle of the night? Have you seen kids with the diseases that we vaccinate against? I have. I choose to vaccinate my kiddo because of what I’ve seen. I just worry that other kids around her aren’t vaccinated and could bring diseases to her. Look at the numbers out of Denver Children’s last year. They had a pertussis epidemic because of the number of parents not vaccinating their kids.
Tina,
I totally agree with you! I think that parents should do the research BEFORE they administer these vaccines to their children. Most of the community just does what the doctors say to do. Jonathan the Bellboy should read the crap that is put into these vaccines. All of us watch what our kids put in their mouths. Would you let your child put a handful of aluminum phosphate in his/her mouth? Didn’t think so!! Read your research BEFORE you go off on those of us who do our own research. I DO not rely on the pharm. companies to tell me what is right for my child. Have you read the research on their vaccine safety studies? You would be horrified!!
I suggest that all people posting comments of disagreement to parents of children with autism and these parents beliefs that these children acquired Autism after receiving these vaccinations need to do their homework and go back in time to research when this disorder was first diagnosed . And to also research disease and how disease peaked and was eradicating itself before human involvement bottled these diseases and began distributing the diseases through innoculation to all. May I also suggest that those of you who are uneducated in vaccination and what protection it does or does not offer to read the package inserts or go to the pharmaceutical company websites themselves . I have twin 6 yr. old boy’s one has autism the other doesn’t . Guess that blows the genetics theory out the window for me. These childrens Immune systems are made to kick in for disease before nature intended and sets off a plethora of symptoms. My husband nor I have not had any mental or developmental disabilities in our famioies and my family still has 5 generations living. This disability is not a naturally acquired disease . It is manmade. And those of you without this disability in your family should consider your children and yourself “lucky” and do your homework/research as I have. It doesn’t take an Einstein to do the research and only common sense to logically figure what these children have in common and what has changed.
I agree with Mandy about the vaccine schedule and dosing. I think that some kids are hyper-sensitive to a particular vaccine and that is what could be triggering the autism.
Isn’t it nice that compulsory vaccination has made diseases like polio, smallpox, and neonatal rubella so uncommon that people think the vaccines are more dangerous than the diseases themselves? I’d like to hear what these parents would say if they traveled to a country where vaccines aren’t available and saw all the children who end up crippled and dead from preventable diseases.
That there’s even discussion about vaccines and their safety should be warning enough for further research and there’s none being done.
Fwiw, vaccine manufacturers are exempt from lawsuits and shielded by the government. That is and of itself seems wrong.
There’s so much to research about this topic that, if you do, your head will spin. And I’m not even talking about the extremist perspectives, either!!
FWIW, I’m not anti-public health. I’m not even anti-vaccine. I am pro-education. I think parents should educate themselves on both sides of the issue and then make an informed choice from there.
My children are innoculated..but on a schedule that has been discussed with our doctor according to what is right for my kids and my family. The path we have chosen may not be the right path for Joe Blow’s kids down the street. But it’s right for us. This is fairly new to us, as we’ve only been doing this for our last two kids. AFTER we saw the drastic change in our son after he recieved his 18 mo MMR shot.
We delay for one year, and are very selective with what vax’s are given, and when they are given the vax its a more expensive thermiseral free version. We also seperate out shots such as the MMR, into three parts. Its more expensive, it takes longer to be “caught up” per government standards, but they are all “caught up” by Kindergarten.
They don’t attend daycare, so thats never been an issue.

Nimrod Hollywood tart and Mandy who’s “known in [her] guts all along.” Well, hell, that trumps empiricism and logic in Bush’s America any day!
Luckily, the science minded among us keep innocculating our kids, so the anti-public-health types can skip out on them and still avoid varied and sundry killers and cripplers of youth that plague underdeveloped countries.
Just and FYI

*may have been? Do your research…you’d be SHOCKED at what is in vaccines.. eggs, cells from aborted fetuses etc. Its truley alarming and disturbing. As a mother to a child with several disorders falling under the Autism umbrella, I am thrilled to see Jenny getting public with what so many of us have known in our guts all along.
