Jenny McCarthy and Jim Carey Want to Green Our Vaccines

June 9, 2008 in Giving Back by Kristen Seymour | No comments

Jenny McCarthy and her boyfriend, Jim Carey, led a rally in Washington, D.C. last week for Green Our Vaccines. Jenny’s six-year-old son is autistic, and Green Our Vaccines is a program through TACA (Talk About Curing Autism), which Jenny is very involved with.

The goal of the rally was to “demand Congress take action to Green Our Vaccine supply while reassessing our current vaccine schedule. Ask Congress to reenact legislation that would eliminate mercury and other toxins from our children’s vaccines, study the instance of Autism and other neurological disorders in vaccinated versus unvaccinated children, and to extend the statute of limitation to allow all children affected by vaccine induced Autism to file in the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program.”

Autism is on the rise, and many parents blame the increasing number of vaccines that children are given at a young age. The rally didn’t aim to get people to avoid vaccinating their children –Jenny and Jim support immunization. However, they feel that children are receiving too many vaccines too soon, and want parents to do their research before giving kids their shots to find the least toxic options.
