Alrighty then:

California Gov says yes to poisoning more children with mercury and aluminum in manditory vaccines. This corporate fascist must be stopped.

We look forward to Carrey’s skit with Biden promoting vaccines:

Biden: “Let me be clear: I trust vaccines. I trust scientists. But I don't trust Donald Trump. And at this moment, the American people can't either. pic.twitter.com/FbkOYLLr25

And it’s not just us calling them out. Mother Jones’ Clara Jeffery:

I mean, whatever it's comedy, but Jim Carrey and people like him are partly responsibly for spreading disinformation about vaccines and science more generally and that ain't funny.
