Well, that's depressing...
Dec. 6th, 2009 07:20 pmI used to like Jim Carrey. His movies are, generally speaking, good (or at least they're better than a lot of the crap that comes out these days).
BUT.
My respect/liking for him just took a serious dip, and all because of THIS.
Not only is he now writing pieces for the *grits teeth* Huffington Post, but apparently, he's best buddies with Jenny McCarthy(1), and has joined up with the anti-vaccinationists and the IDIOTS who, despite the piles upon piles of evidence to the contrary, PERSIST in believing that vaccines (specifically the MMR) cause autism in children.
My sceptical side is highly, highly annoyed by this. And frustrated, and just a bit depressed.
(1. Jenny McCarthy... well. She's kind of the ringleader for the anti-vacs lot. She spreads disinformation and false "cures" for autism, and on my darker days I sometimes wonder if she's related to the OTHER famous McCarthy.)
