Jenny McCarthy Opens Up To Cookie Magazine
Jenny McCarthy touched on a wide range of topics when she talked to Cookie Magazine. She didn't hold back!
Jenny set the record straight about her "public wrath" with Amanda Peet when Amanda called parents who don't get their children vaccinated "parasites" in Cookie magazine last year:
"I think vaccines are one of the greatest things ever invented. I used to be [Peet] before I had a kid with autism."
Jenny described her second "rock bottom" period when her son, Evan, had a seven-hour seizure and went into cardiac arrest in 2004:
"I ran out of my house and into my driveway and screamed at the top of my lungs to God to just take him away, because I loved him so much and he was in so much pain"
I Cannot. Even. Imagine.
What does Jenny love about boyfriend Jim Carrey?
"It’s wacky-weird that not only does [Carrey] not want to get married, which I love, but he also doesn’t want to have more kids, which I love."
LOL! Sounds like they're compatible ;)
And Jenny shares the one thing she won't give up as a parent:
"Date night. Even if you’re like, 'No one can handle my kid' –bulls**t! You find someone."
You can read Jenny's entire interview in the September issue of Cookie Magazine.

seven-hours seizure :-(((( How terrible. She's strong woman, every time i read about her i like her more and more!

I don't. Ask any serious doctor about the nonsense she's publishing. Meta-studies all over the world have shown that autism isn't caused by vaccines, neither is it curable, and people like her are the reason a lot of parents are slacking when it comes to vaccines, and other people delay seeking treatment for their sick kids, because a former Playboy model told them to. Jenny McCarthy and other ill-informed people like her are also the reason polio is on the rise again, as is tetanus, measles and lots of other preventable diseases.

My heart DOES go out to her. What an awful awful thing for any parent to go through. Having said that I DON'T agree at all with her views on vaccination. I think it is EXTREMELY important to have our kids vaccinated and it has been rebutted time and time again by the Association of Pediatrics that vaccines do not CAUSE autism. Please get your kids vaccinated people or they will end up with a disease that was totally preventable.
Dear Nanea,
I'll ask you this simple question.
Do you think that any medical company would say: "Yes, our vaccines do cause autism and other neurological diseases, but we still want you to take them because we want to make money out of them." Do you honestly think they would admit such a thing?
Did you know that in the 1976's a swine flu vaccine that was not properly tested (so they say) caused Guillain-Barré Syndrome for over 500 people who were vaccinated? Did you know that in England a Vaccine to prevent ovarian cancer caused multiple young girls to get neurological diseases and prevent them from going to school? Did you know, that medical companies like Baxter and Novartis have been sued by a woman called Jane Bürgermeister for having proof that they are trying to force un-tested Vaccines on the population to use as population control? Did you know that Baxter sent bird flu virus to European laboratories 'by mistake' earlier this year? Did you know that last year at least 81 people were KILLED by Baxter International's contaminated blood-thinning product, heparin, which was made in China from, among other things, pig intestines? Did you know that Baxter has been caught inflating the cost of intravenous drugs sold to Kentucky Medicaid by as much as 1,300 per cent? Did you know that the WHO advisory board on vaccination policy includes executives from ... Baxter, Novartis, GSK and Sanofi Pasteur?
My friend, researching would be a good idea before you believe the things that companies tell you. Jenny has done her job, so should you.
I would love to learn more!!! Where did you get all this info???? Im very sceptical about vaccines. I think that there are diseases such as meningitis where a vaccine is acceptable because you can get ill to the point of dying so quickly. However, I dont see the need to vaccinate against things like measles. i know that a small percentage of children catch it and die, however as a child who had measles and survived I think that there are some diseases where the risk of fatality is so minor it is not worth the unknown long term effects of vaccines.
Hi DarkEmpress,
I have been researching companies such as Baxter and others for many years after realising that aspartame and fluoride are both dangerous for humans to consume. This was after I changed my diet to low-carb and I had readed many books on nutrition, where they would always mention the dangers of aspartame and etc. After a while, I started researching Vaccines and...Here I am. :)

10 things you're not supposed to know about the Swine flu:
.naturalnews.com/z026717_swine_flu_flu_vaccine_swine_flu_vaccine.html
For those who don't believe this, once again, ask yourself this question: "WHO GAINS FROM VACCINATING THE POPULATION?" Medical companies do not care about your health and this has been obvious for years, sadly though, people fail to take responsability for their lives and want to bury their heads in the sand and live in denial. If you have children, YOU CAN'T DO THIS ANY LONGER. You are responsible for someone else than yourself, so research and read, don't be fooled.
All the best!
And all of those small cases where detected, that's why we know about them. But no one can find a link between vaccines and autism involving tens if not hundreds of thousands of cases. And all the independent labs throughout the world and the government of almost every country in the world are all in on the cover up. Plus of all the people that know the cover up, none of them have blown the whistle.

I love her "Can Do" attitude and she is right about vaccines. The shear number of vaccines given to children at such a young age when the central nervous system is still forming over loads the immune system and throws the body out of balance - PERIOD. And let's not forget the thermasol (AKA mercury, a known neurotoxin- OMG) they add...UGH!!! My children were used as guinea pigs with the new Hep B vaccine and it pisses me off. If you don't think that there are problems and complications with vaccines, that is some serious denial you are on! The basic problem with vaccines is that they are based on pharmaceutical company greed! The more vaccines, the more money! Every year there is a flu vaccine that makes millions and only protects against 1 strain of flu out of hundreds of possible strains. Face it; they are experimenting on the unknowing public and kids always pay the price 1st!
No thermasol is not a neurotoxin. Plus it has been removed from vaccines for years and no change has occurred in the rate of autism. If thermasol had been the cause the rate would have decreased when it was removed.
2243870 points
Thermasol is mercury and mercury is a neurotoxin. It was in the the Hep B vaccine when my then 9 month old daughter had it and was then diagnosed with auditory processing disorder. Get your facts straight anon. It was removed from that vaccine after many children had complications and people fought for it but that wasn't soon enough for my daughter. The fact is she was a guinea pig.
Who says that children's immune systems are fragile? The human body is an incredible machine, even at birth. Our vaccines are incredibly safe. They are even more pure and safer than when we were children. And "kids pay the price"? Are you nuts? The pharmaceutical companies have saved countless lives. I am appalled by the pseudo-science crap you people are peddling.
2243870 points
Children's immune systems were never meant to be exposed to multiple viruses (along with toxins) at such an early age. That was man's doing. When you mess with mother nature, there is a price to pay. At birth, you should not expose newborns to a wide variety of pathogens. That is insane. It takes time to strengthen an immune system. That's why breast feeding is better for the baby. Please do your research. Pharmaceutical companies have gotten wealthy using people as guinea pigs. People are over-vaccinated and too many vaccines are given to kids at young ages. Their immune systems are over-taxed and illness is the result. Put too many toxins in a machine and it break down. 'Too many' is different for different people and the line you cross is invisible. I err on the side of caution and a more holistic approach.

Nanea, you give her way too much credit for being able to influence parents around the world. She's a former Playboy model, comedienne. She has a point of view that, rightly or wrongly, she talks about it publicly. Parents should be smart enough and responsible enough to make up their own minds as to how they want to seek treatment for their own kids and whether or not they want to vaccinate them. If this is really what parents are doing, based solely on Jenny McCarthy's statements, they all they are are sheep who can only blame themselves. To blame McCarthy for the rise of polio and other diseases is a way to avoid taking responsibility for one's own actions. It's pathetic and spineless, not to mention ludicrous.
2243870 points
Polio has a cyclic life span as do many other diseases that people are vaccinated against. Many diseases like polio go dormant for years and then reappear in the population. So, vaccines may not have anything to do with the decrease in incidence.

Wow, you totally missed my point, unless that is you are responding to someone else.
2243870 points
Simply speaking to your point about rising polio rates and people blaming Jenny i.e., the last 2 sentences of your 8:30 post. Get the connection now? Shall I draw you a map? Just giving folks some facts. Relax elaine.

F@ck off. Your fact fest is irrelevant to my point about blaming Jenny for other parents not vaccinating their kids. I could give a rats a.ss about the rise of polio. Twit.

it's sad to hear that you are one of those who do what others say. i'm totally on TruthFighter's side: of course doctors are not gonna say anything against vaccines. you get sick they make money. who cares about the person as long as they are being paid. and i know not all doctors are like that...I did not give my son any vaccines until he turned one. it was not because Jenny said so, but as soon as they are born they want to fill your baby's body with stuff they really don't need. they almost did not let me leave the hospital without giving him a hep b vaccine. my son did not get any vaccines for a while and is as healthy as can be...not even a darn cold! so of course doctors won't say anything against them as so as labs wont....sick people = $$$ that's all we are to them.

I think Jenny McCarthy's great. Her son is cute, as well. I completely agree with Jenny about vaccines. I have a two year old daughter that has never had a shot. In her two years she has had maybe one cold. My daughter's also vegan which has a lot to do with her healthy body. I agree that vaccine's are a great invention and a good idea...in certain situations and at a certain age. People who think that the metal in the vaccine(s) doesn't exist and therefore thing there is no link to autism are severely ignorant.

I quit vaccinating but not because of Jenny. I don't buy into the drug company propaganda any longer. ;) I think it's up to each parent to do their own research and make the decision they feel the most comfortable with. Jenny has always been one of my favorite actresses/comedians. She & Jim seem so happy together. :)
Anti-vaxxers are parasites that reintroduce long gone diseases back into the population. They count on everybody else's vaccinated kids to hopefully keep theirs healthy.Everybody is at risk because these idiots decide to play chicken with their children's lives and everybody elses. Just because "autism" presents in children at about the same time they get vaccinated doesn't mean, and has been conclusively proven that it doesn't mean, that there is any cause and effect.
5095 points
You need to do some more research into the matter and then speak. You're clearly clueless on the matter and have very little knowledge about how the vaccine(s) are linked to autism. I very much so love how you're annonymous. Makes me feel special that I am the only one to have the balls to reveal who I am.
7255 points
WHile I won't claim to know one way or another what the medical links between the two are, I have to say that Anonymous has a point. The research proving that the two are not related is vast and compelling. THe arguments that they are not seem to be conjecture at best. As to being anonymous on this site, we have no idea who you are other than your moniker is CerelliaF. For all we know, that is not even a picture of you. You are as anonymous as the person you accused of having no balls.

It's very obvious that you have not done adequate and proper research. I work in a doctor's office that helps autistic children daily. The research behind on one particular vaccine and autism is huge. There are traces of metal in that shot that cause the autistic development. I'm not by any means saying that it's okay to not get your children vaccinated. I'm merely saying that it is not necessary to give kids so many shots at once and at such a young age when a child hasn't even begun to develop in this world. I also believe that each child is different and that parents should get their kids vaccinated at a time that suits the child best. If my kid didn't have private daycare and was constantly encountering different countries, states or various children due to a public daycare of facility, I would have definitely had her vaccinated by now. However, that's not the case for her. I also have to comment on the negative feedback Jenny received from stating that she has helped her child. She never stated that she cured him she merely stated that she had helped with his symptoms. Take it from someone that works in a clinic that helps treat the symptoms for autistic kids, there are various things that can be done to ease things drastically. Diet and a machine called Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy are prove to be the most effective ways. I think it's necessary for people in this day and age to rely on their own instincts and own decisions after they do heavy research rather than abiding by what the government and pharmacies say.

Look, i respect your position on this, but I think you're commenting to the wrong person. I clearly state that I don't claim to know one way or another what the medical links between the two are. Perhaps you should direct your well-composed argument to someone who actually disagrees with you. I don;t know enough about the subject to sit on either side of the fence. My point from all my comments on this thread is that people are giving Jenny way to much credit for influencing millions of parents on whether or not to vaccinate their kids. I just can't see any parent, even the most irresponsible and horrible parent, saying to themselves..."well, since Jenny McCarthy is saying it, it must be true".
2243870 points
That's not what people are saying. Her book is filled with accurate pertinent information and leads you to other sources. She was brave to speak out against such a powerful lobby. I give her credit for putting it out there and for helping her son when no one else did. It is not because she is Jenny McCarthy; it is because of what she said and the research and truth she brings to light. Did you read her books?
2243870 points
elaine - You "don't claim to know enough" but you do know the playboy bunny is wrong (8:42 post). I think you like to hear yourself talk, like to argue about things you know nothing about and like to criticize everyone that is informed. You dear don't seem to respect anyone.
7255 points
First, I never had a comment at 8:42. Second, I never said that she was WRONG, I said I didn;t know enough on the subject to say one way or another what is correct. So, go spew your nonsense elsewhere, would you? You are really annoying the cr@p out of me. Pathetic loser.
2243870 points
More typically elaine nastiness and name calling...how refreshing. You are 35 years old....really? Don't like it, don't read it.

elaine, dear, please refresh your waning memory and look at page 2 of this thread. It appears to be you at 8:42 unless you have a doppelganger??? Or was that your other personality?
7255 points
You're more ignorant than I thought...my 8:42 comment says nothing, nada, zip about whether she is right or wrong. None of my comments do. My point, stupid b!tch, is that we should not assume that people are listening to her and espousing her beliefs as much as this story implies. I am so done with you.
2243870 points
I thought you didn't have an 8:42 post....hmmmmm You said people were dumb and dangerous to their children (child services should be called???) if they listened to her implying that she was wrong. So which is it, you don't know enough or you know she's wrong? You can't have it both ways. BTW - I pray you are so done.
C....I think you just described yourself.
2243870 points
Unlike elaine, I am informed and post when I know what I am talking about. elaine self-admittedly doesn't have a clue. Very different anon. BTW - where did I describe myself? Did you mean to post to elaine?

I think it's great she obviously is fighting for her child. But she's doing it so very, very wrong.
As a child I could not get most of the vaccines due to severe allergies to other ingredients in the vaccines and severe autoimmune disorders. This was when it was still wildly unaccepted to avoid the vax. As an adult I'm paying for it - hard. I can't imagine voluntarily doing that to your child if they can handle the vaccine.
Also, I can't think of a polite way to say this so I won't even try: Her opinion that she's cured her son's autism makes me happy I'll probably never encounter her in person, because it makes me so angry to hear I want to hurt her. It's so amazingly absurd.
2243870 points
Wow - that's alot of anger towards a woman who stopped her son from having seizures when the medical community could offer nothing. Now the boy has a life. Why would that anger you so? Maybe you have problems as an adult because you had a weakened immune system as a child and the vaccines had nothing to do with it. hmmmmmm
may not agree wth her opinion on vacciantions, but love her and her courage to fight for her son

I absolutely hate the idea of injecting my child with an unkown substance. I don't even give him Tylenol! But, where I live it's mandatory if I want him to go to school (both public and private). Nurses and receptionists at doctor's offices always ask if his vaccines are up to date. They always threaten to call social services if they find out they're not.
You have to fight for your rights!!!! The government should not be able to have a say in whether or not you vaccinate their child.

Dark E - you are right! This country is not automatically free and you have to fight for your right to choose. There are groups out there that help with that. She'll have to do some research to find them. The government has way too much control. The gov't forcing people to make their teen have chemo against his will??? I didn't think I lived in a communist country...do I?
2243870 points
Hey Mari, in some states you can get a religious exemption. From what I understand from a school principal friend, you don't have to be specific about the religion or why. Check into it.
The part about this that really kills me about this is that the culprit here is not the vaccine drug itself, but the mercury-based preservative that is put in them. There is no way, absolutely NO WAY to make mercury or any form of it safe for human contact. Why in the world would you inject it,even in trace amounts into someone? That seems like asking for trouble.
I know some people that swear the same thing about the vaccines and their son being autistic. I don't know what to think about that. But these studies that the drug manufacturer themselves do to prove to people that their products are safe have often been proven to be BS by independent studies. The FDA is a total joke, I hardly ever trust what they have to say.
THERE IS A THIRD OPTION HERE PEOPLE: There are vaccines out there that don't have it in them. You CAN vaccinate WITHOUT the potentially harmful preservative. You have to ask for it, but it is out there. I have no idea why Jenny and her supporters don't know about this, but I get them when I need a vaccine for school, work, etc. The drug is the same.
2243870 points
Why is mercury still in amalgam (silver) fillings that leach into the body? Because there is a huge money making lobby that controls these decisions. You are right; there is NO safe amount of mercury especially in growing bodies. We all come programmed into our bodies with hidden weaknesses and there is no way of knowing when a toxin in any amount will be too much for a given individual. Vaccines still create problems without thermasol. People have different immune systems and what is OK for one at a given time is not for another. They have found that the mitochondria may play a part in some children because of their particular metabolism. We don't know enough yet but the problems caused by vaccines have certainly risen in the past few decades along with the numbers of vaccines required and the young ages at which they are given. The problem is that you never know when you cross that invisible line and give too much until you cause harm. The reason Jenny didn't get vaccines without thermasol is because it wasn't available for her son and she did what her doctor told her was required like most parents. It is also about her son's immune system and mitochondria and the age and frequency of vaccination. It is not as simple as you claim.
She's a nutjob who is convincing gullible parents they they should not vaccinate their kids. This is creating a larger pool of kids susceptible to get the various diseases that, with intelligent guidance, they would not have gotten.
Sadly, because she is a celebrity of sorts, and married to a big celebrity, and can emote, gullible folks listen to her.
She has the deaths of the gullible folk's kids on her hands.

Oh please, give me a break. If people are so gullible and stupid enough to take the opinion of a Playboy Bunny comedienne on such a medically important issue, then they deserve what's coming to them.
Well...believe it or not, they are so gullible ..and its not coming to them...its coming to their children
7255 points
then, like I said, its their own damn fault. If they are harming their children because they are stupid enough to parent based on what she says, then get Child Services involved.
The sad part is that the parents, as gullible or downright stupid as they may be, are not the ones who suffer the ultimate consequence - it is their kids.
2243870 points
None of you know what you are talking about but criticize based only on the fact that she did Playboy? You are the gullible ones. Do some research instead. She was a mother with a sick child that did lots of research and because of her efforts and persistence, he got better. What a crime eh?

I call bs on the 7 hour seizure.
So let me get this straight, he either had a 7 hour seizure and she didnt take him to the hosptial and starting yelling at God about it OR
he WAS at the hospital during the 7 hour seizure and the doctors wouldnt help him. That doesnt make sense. Surely a doctor at the hosptial would give the child something, help in some way.....
She's just too over the top with the whoa is me bit, lots of people (even famous people) have kids with autism and they arent claiming they can cure autism by diet...give me a break(past interview she gave)

well im a nurse and it's true, when someone comes into the ER seizing and they dont stop after a couple of minutes medicine is given to stop it. no one should seize for 7 hours, no parent would allow their child to seize for 7 hours
Vaccinations are a scam, to keep you sick, with the illnesses you will incurr for life, through getting vaccinated. Amish people don't vaccinate, don't have cancer, asthma, peanut allergies.....not 1 case of autism. Kids used to get 10 combined shots, pre 1985. 1985 onwards, kids get 36 combined shots. Since then, autism rates have gone up 2,700%.
Stop listening to the legal drug pushers, the doctors and read for yourself. Big pharma is the biggest, richest industry on planet earth. Do you think they would be around, if you were healthy? Google doctors kill, or killer doctors.
