Very few people like to say that they are anti-vaccine, especially celebrities.
Even the people who obviously are, often say that they aren’t.
They instead say that they are pro-safe vaccine or pro-vaccine choice or something.
Most have repeatedly said that they have delayed or skipped one or more vaccines though, which puts kids at risk for vaccine-preventable diseases. But what really makes them anti-vaccine is that they often push misinformation that scares other people from getting vaccinated.
Has it hurt their careers?
You can still see most of them on TV and in the movies.
Well, maybe not Rob Schneider, but he wasn’t canceled, he just isn’t very good at anything…
Although I would never watch Jenny McCarthy on The Masked Singer, I did like Esai Morales in La Bamba…
