Jim Carrey loves the pro-disease movement

Living with Jenny McCarthy must have infected Jim Carrey’s brain, because yesterday he posted an astonishingly fallacious antivaccination propaganda piece for the Huffington Post screed.

Carrey is the boyfriend of Public Health Threat Jenny McCarthy and has been an antivaccination advocate for some time. He is a funny guy and a movie star, but I don’t think either of those things should give him a public voice wherein he can mislead people about vaccinations.

The article Carrey wrote has so much wrong in it that it almost qualifies as self-satirizing. His very first paragraph is a textbook example of spin. Basically, a few months ago a special court looked at three cases of potential damage due to vaccinations, and found no evidence of any connection. About this, Carrey says:

…a ruling against causation in three cases out of more than 5000 hardly proves that other children won’t be adversely affected by the MMR, let alone that all vaccines are safe. This is a huge leap of logic by anyone’s standards.

1. Maybe we'll finally get to see Ace Ventura 3
Enough of this Truman Show and Eternal Sunshine crap. Let's see Carrey get back to his highbrow roots!

2. Wow! Two shallow, minimally talented people can't make a go of it!
Now THAT doesn't happen often in Hollywood.

Think they can both go away now from the public eye? Too much to hope for?

3. We don't know for a fact that they're shallow.
What we see is a very small portion of their personal lives.

What we DO know for a fact is that they're batshit crazy and dumb as a bag of hammers.

Also, I think Jim Carrey is actually fairly talented.

16. Well, I will agree that Carey isn't talentless...but I will never forgive
him for introducing Blake Edwards when he got his lifetime achievement award and talking about how he didn't get nominated (Jim referring to himself) because the oscars don't do comedy...yeah jim, it's all about you, not about showing some respect on a night which was the highlight of Blake's long and successful career.

18. I hadn't realized that Carey had done that. Did he say, "Imma let you finish?"
Edited on Wed Apr-07-10 10:14 AM by Ian David
Wouldn't it be funny if Jenny McCarthy was leaving him for Blake Edwards?

20. I think he said, "They don't let me touch these."
It was kind of an off-hand remark said in passing.

I think it was a big deal, but Jim Carrey is still a giant douchebag either way.

24. What was he in that year where, once more, he was positive he should
have been nominated? Sorry Jim, you're funny, but you're a mimic, not an actor.

7. even though there's debate as to mercury\thimerisol causing harm...

10. The guy who fabricated the claim that Thimerisol does harm admitted to faking the data.
His paper has been withdrawn, none of his experiments have been duplicated, no other studies verified his hypothesis, and he has been probed time and again to be wrong.

In other words, the ONE person who had the ONLY paper making this claim has admitted he lied and is probably going to go to jail.

There is no debate.

And yes, most of the vaccines have not had Thimerisol in them for YEARS now, yet Autism still continues to increase-- including countries like Japan that banned vaccinations and got a lot of dead children, but not a decrease in Autism.

27. They're against vaccinations because they're either batshit crazy or dumb as a bag of hammers.
No amount of evidence will convince the anti-vaxers.
