Actor Jim Carrey called California Gov. Jerry Brown a “fascist” for signing into law a mandatory immunization bill, which eliminates personal and religious exemptions, according to MSNBC.
“California Gov says yes to poisoning more children with mercury and aluminum in manditory vaccines. This corporate fascist must be stopped,” Carrey wrote in atweet on June 30. Carrey used to date actress Jenny McCarthy, who has an autistic son.
Carrey said while he is “not anti-vaccine,” he is “anti-thimerosal, anti-mercury.” The preservative ingredients found in some vaccines have not been taken out of all vaccines, Carrey warned.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, thimerosal, a mercury-containing preservative, has not been used as a preservative in routine childhood vaccinations since 2001, except in some influenza vaccines.
