Jenny McCarthy Autism Activist

Don’t let this blond bombshell fool you, she has a lot more to offer than just a pretty face.  These days she has been on a mission in a fight against autism.  Jenny is an outspoken advocate for creating greener vaccines, writing books and founding a site called, Generation Rescue (www.generation rescue.com), which challenges the media’s conventional message about autism.

Jenny’s boyfriend of more than three years, Jim Carrey, has also lent his name and support to her noble cause. Together they believe that certain vaccines are causing injury to children, which raises some pretty interesting issues. For example, 1 in 91 children (formally 1 in 150 up until 2009 and 1 in 10,000 in the early 1990s) is diagnosed with autism every year, which is the fastest growing developmental disability in the U.S.

According to the site, “Generation Rescue is an international movement of scientists and physicians researching the causes and treatments for autism, ADHD, neurological disorders and chronic illness, while parent-volunteers mentor thousands of families in recovering their children. These conditions are treatable and often reversible.”

Jenny has also teamed up with Oprah in educating the public about the possible causes of autism and the idea of green vaccines. The first collaboration under the pact is a blog by McCarthy on Oprah.com. Both sites offer some great info & are definitely worth checking out. These are just a couple reasons why TCB ♥’s Jenny McCarthy.
