Jim Carrey on Mandatory California Vaccinations: It is 'Poisoning More Children With Mercury & Aluminum’
- comments
Four months after an outbreak of measles at the Golden State, California Governor Jerry Brown signed a bill that requires all public school children to be vaccinated starting 2016. Governor Brown made this vaccination mandatory to all children, regardless of religious and personal beliefs, reports Rolling Stone.
However, this mandatory order made actor Jim Carrey very upset, to the point that he called the California governor a corporate fascist.
California Gov says yes to poisoning more children with mercury and aluminum in manditory vaccines. This corporate fascist must be stopped.

It is worthwhile to note that Jim Carrey's ex-wife, Jenny McCarthy was active in her anti-vaccine movement, claiming that vaccines caused her son's autism.
As this law is mandatory, a few exemptions for schoolchildren are allowed. LA times wrote that the new law allows exemptions for schoolchildren only in the judgment and sound discretion of the physician. Because of the concerns of the vaccine's safety, a lot of parents are urging physicians to waive their children from said mandate.
Because of the strict and mandatory regulations of this law, many parents are now protesting the move, focusing on the argument that the mandate violates the rights of parents to make choices about the well-being of their children.
Governor Brown also responded in a statement reported at LA Times that vaccines generally protect children against infectious and numerous diseases. While almost all medical interventions have risks, the fact is immunization powerfully benefits and protects the community.
Following the outbreak of measles months ago, "Late Night" host Jimmy Kimmel took a reasonable approach against those who are against the vaccine by imploring that vaccines are important, especially that he is also a parent. He invited doctors in his show to prove his point against some parents who he jokingly said, "are more afraid of gluten than small pox".
The doctors in the video noted that there are diseases in the past that the present generation thankfully does not have to endure because of vaccinations and that the downside of vaccinations are almost non-existent. It emphasizes the advantages of having children vaccinated.
Carrey clarified in his tweets that it is not the vaccination he is against, it is what is inside the vaccines that make him upset, specifically the neurotoxins.
In his tweet rants, he also mentioned that CDC did not take all of the mercury-laden Thimerosal out of vaccines. Carrey accused CDC as being corrupt and that it would be too risky to admit they have been wrong about mercury/Thimerasol.
In one of his tweets, he pleaded, "Make them toxin-free. History will show that was a reasonable request".
