Boyd Haley PhD, Jay Gordon MD and Jerry Kartzinel MD
Jim Carrey: Now I have the pleasure of introducing the lady I share my life with. She doesn’t want me to build her up too much, so I’ll just say one thing: the source of all that is good is doing some of its best work through her; and I’m honored to stand behind her. Please welcome Jenny.
Jenny McCarthy: [crowd cheering] Guess what! We’re not at the Marriott. We’re not at the Hyatt. This isn’t a convention, you guys—we are here, we are here in our nation’s capitol. Today, I would like to welcome parents and relatives who have come all over the country. They held bake sales to raise money for plane tickets to be here. They drove buses from city to city, picking up parents along the way. Today, I am not the keynote speaker. Today, I am not the celebrity. Today, I am the mom of a child who had autism, who has a voice that is willing to shake the ground of those responsible until all of our children are safe from harm. Pediatricians, you know, take an oath, by the way, when they graduate from medical school. They really do. They take an oath to do no harm. Well, harm has been done. If you take a look at the history of medicine, this lie has been told before. Do you remember when smoking was actually good for our health? Do you remember when autism was blamed on lazy mothers? We were known as “refrigerator mothers:” cold and uncaring to our children. Well, take a look around. I believe science was wrong yet again. Since last September, I’ve traveled to thirty cities across the country and spoke to nearly fifty-thousand parents face-to-face. And they all say the same two things to me, the first being, “Thank you, because now people don’t think I’m crazy.” The second being, “I’ve vaccinated my baby, and he stopped speaking. Why won’t anyone believe us?” Even though we do believe vaccines played a major role in our children’s autism, I’d like the media here today to send a message out, loud and clear. This is not an anti-vaccine rally. This is not an anti-vaccine group. We are an intelligent group of parents that acknowledge that vaccines have saved many lives… but the ingredients, like the frickin’ mercury, the ether, the aluminum, the anti-freeze, need to be removed immediately, after we saw the devastating effects it took on our children. And the fact that the medical community, you know, has come out and said over and over again that mercury has been removed from all the vaccines, it is a lie. According to the FDA, there are eleven shots that still contain mercury. Run that on the nightly news, will ya? When they say there are only trace amounts of mercury, most people don’t know that those trace amounts are above toxic levels for drinking water. I want parents across the country to realize the only reason—parents who are watching this—the only reason we’ve been shouting and screaming is because we don’t want any more members to join our club. Parents need to know what is being injected into their child. Parents need to know to not vaccinate when a child is sick, ‘cause the doctors aren’t telling them. People need to know that there has never been any safety testing on combinations of vaccines, and yet doctors are giving eight shots at once. Parents need to know it’s called a “recommended” schedule, not a “mandatory” schedule. I want to empower parents to educate themselves and take safety back into their own hands. I know Jim had mentioned the analogy of the canary in the coal mine, and I love it. Everyone, you know, just parents of kids who have autism, needs to seriously pay attention to their warning. These children are trying so hard, you guys, trying so hard to show us how to live in a cleaner world. These kids are here for a reason: to teach us to eat better, clean up the air, get rid of toxins, because they can’t survive. I know, I really do know, that this is their main purpose, and I pray that we all start to wake up and collectively change this world into the new world our kids are working so hard to create. Because these canaries will save the world. All right, to all you families out there, I am going—look at your tears, you’re so sweet—I’m going to give this moment to you right now. It’s your moment in the media. I’ve been kind of your speaker, and person shouting loudest on the speck, but I’ve been doing it for you these past few months, and I wanted to give you today back to you. So I’m going to have everyone here take a picture of their child, and turn around and face the media, please—and I’ll join you—and show them, show the world the reason we’re here today. And I’m gonna play a song for us. [song plays. Then, so son:] “You’re gonna pull me out—I’ll be right there.”
[to crowd] That was beautiful, you guys. I know in my heart, someday this era will be marked as a time in history when a group of parents fought the giants to help save their babies and future generations. Margaret Mead, the late great sociologist, once said, “Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it’s the thing only thing that ever has.” Thank you! God bless you all.
