Jim Carrey -Vaccines/Autism Connection
I think it’s no surprise to anyone that Jim Carrey believes in conspiracy theories since he’s also the subject of many theories out there. Moreover, Carrey believes that vaccinated leads to “neurotoxicity”, a term used to label autism.
As the theory says, certain elements found in vaccines, such as mercury and thimerosal, could poison the human body, leading to autism-like symptoms. However, this theory has been debunked by many researchers, since vaccine do not use thimerosal (an antimicrobial and antifungal preservative) for more than 20 years.
And the only mercury present in vaccines is ethylmercury, which is considered a safe ingredient that gets metabolized very easily by our bodies and it is also present in certain foods, such as canned tuna.
