Being a celebrity has its crappy parts: ruthless paparazzi, scandalous gossip columns, sketchy yes men. But as we like to prove here at Ecorazzi, being in the limelight also has its advantages — like using your power for good and adding credibility to a cause you believe in.

Jenny McCarthy and Jim Carrey are on a mission to spread awareness about the rise in autism by leading the Green Our Vaccines march and rally in Washington, D.C., today.

Here’s a little brain candy: in 1960 children in the U.S received 5 vaccinations. By 2007 the number had reached 24 vaccine injections to protect against 16 different diseases. That’s a lot of frigin chemicals! The Green Our Vaccines initiative calls for the elimination of toxins from children’s vaccines and to change children’s vaccination schedules.

Today in America 1 out of every 150 children are diagnosed with autism and many parents believe that the increase in childhood vaccination is to blame. Jenny McCarthy and Carrey said that while they do support immunization, they and their allies believe children receive “too many vaccines, too soon, many of which are toxic.”

What do you think Ecorazzi readers? Are kids getting overly vaccinated at too young of an age? Are all those chemicals contributing to the rise in autism? Grab that keyboard and let us know what you think!

    A friend of mine told me about the harmful side affects of vaccinations. I am a mum of 4 and after an informed decision I decided to NOT vaccinate my youngest daughter. She is the healthiest of all of my children and so full of life and personality. My eldest son has learning difficulties and a habbit of touching his earlobes and daydreaming. I had him tested but nothing came up. I beleive God gave me the right information at the right time for my little girl.

    If anyone feels so inclined…Next time your in the super market grab a can of infant formula and read the warning label.(There isn’t one!) Now ask yourself aren’t there warnings on all products including tooth paste and things of this nature? Next look for the FDA approval seal on the can…(none)…That’s right , the FDA will not approve the formula for good reasons..You will see ARA/DHA in all infant formulas with claims to be closer to breast milk…all lies,lies,lies…Now , if your infant son or daughter cannot tolerate ingesting these formulas with DHA/ARA contact the manufacturer,FDA, the mayor, whomever and see who gets back to you…They will tell you to shit and fall back in it if they even respond to you at all….And ..Oh Yeah ..make sure you toss out that 1 hr old formula out after preparing …Hopefully the bottle won’t be found after a day or so under a blanket in the crib and ingested by your baby..Pescatore vs Mead Johnson…We are ready to play ball with these a-holes…

    Check out infant formulas ..start there..something millions of infants rely upon for their sole source of nutition..Why are the ingredients DHA and ARA only allowed under a GRAS (generally regarded as Safe)..Why doesn’t the FDA approve these ingredients in formulas designed for infants.Wake up people..you should be enraged….Don’t take my word for it..Ask the FDA, ask the makers of enfamil,nestles,why…..for money…money,money,money……..money

    In the 80′s my friends baby suffered seizures after her first vaccinations, the dr’s said it was not the shot. so she did the second one and the baby went into multiple seizures and suffered brain damage, the medical dr’s would never admit it was the vaccinations that caused this, but it was, the seizures both times happened withen 20 hrs after the vaccinations.

    The virtually unthinking, closed minded replies herein PROVE that UNDERFUNDED EDUCATION IN THIS COUNTRY IS NOT AN ACCIDENT. The Predatory Elite NEED uneducated people, unable to think critically or systematically, who can be easily manipulated with repetitive messages, to carry their water.

    READ, folks, READ. TAKE OUT THE TOXINS… you know, the poisons that American Chemistry have been dumping in our air, water and land/food with for years…PROFITING FROM INJURIES AND POOR HEALTH, AND DEATH.

    THINK, THINK, THINK!!!

    For anyone using the eradication of Polio as a justification for the 20-30 vaccines given to babies now…is the Chicken Pox vaccine really necessary? Or the flu vaccine (which is constantly mutating)? For some diseases it makes sense…for others, it doesn’t. It NEVER makes sense to inject a human being with toxins. Simply by reading the article, you will find they are advocating cleaning up the vaccines so they are not laced with chemicals known to cause brain damage and other problems.

    It is not the mercury in vaccines, its the vaccine schedule that is the problem. Too many shots, too many antigens, too close together. Our children need to be exposed to fewer antigens, less often, so they don’t get complications from the vaccine like autism and autoimmune diseases. It is all part of greening our vaccines.

    Being a celebrity, and railing against government agencies will get a lot of attention, esp. in recent history. Because public health is also involved, versus personal choice, this tosses in additional controversy.

    The increasing amount of vaccines for such small bodies has to be a stressor, and it’s unfortunate that these aren’t set out on a longer schedule. The guidelines for vaccination are just that, guidelines.

    This could easily be a multi-factorial condition, including the chemical/nuclear/biological exposure that we have all be subjected to in the last 100-odd years, that our bodies are not and have never been designed to tolerate.

    just weeks ago an article in a medical magazine relating autism and vaccines was labeled as fraudulent. Turned out the writer did get paid by lawers who wanted to use the study and the results in turn to sue (and cash in) on pharmaceutical companies.

    that said, vaccines do save lives but sometimes it seems too much, and Green Our Vaccines certainly makes sense.
