Jim Carrey: Let’s have a hand for all the wonderful speakers that have been here today so far. Brilliant, brilliant. I just want to start by asking the CDC one question: how stupid do you think we are? I made a movie about two dumb guys, but nobody’s this stupid. It’s nice to see you—I’m so glad you made the trip, I can’t tell you how much that means. Each one of you here today represents thousands for whom the financial strain of this terrible disorder made it impossible to be here. So we are their voice today. We are here today because we have seen our perfectly normal children descend into a state of emotional isolation, physical agony, and mental confusion after a trip to the pediatrician. We have seen how practically overnight they stop speaking, stop reacting, and stop being able to show affection. We have watched over them when the slightest hint of a fever sends then into what can be a fatal brain seizure. We have seen the rate of autism rise from one in ten-thousand, in 1983, to one in one-hundred-fifty children in 2008, while in the same time period the number of vaccines given to our kids has gone from ten to thirty-six. We don’t think this is a coincidence—and we’re here to say that we believe thirty-six vaccines in the first few years of life is too many, too soon. We are not against all vaccines. Vaccines can do a lot of good. But many of us believe that in the last few decades, corporate influence has turned the vaccine program into more of a profit engine than a means of prevention; and it’s time to let the people who make them, and the people who insist we take them, know once and for all that it’s too many, too soon. If on the way to save someone from a burning building, a fire engine ran people over, we wouldn’t stop using fire engines. We would just ask them to slow down a bit. Well, it’s time to tell the CDC and the AAP that it’s time to slow the fire engine down—people are getting hurt on the way to the fire. It’s time to let them know that it’s too many, too soon. It’s time to tell them that we want real independent studies done on the effects of these vaccines, not studies paid for by the people who make the vaccines. We want real science, not propaganda. We want a change in the vaccine schedule, and a means of testing the vulnerability of children’s immune systems before multiple vaccines are administered. It’s time to tell them loud and clear that we’ve had enough of their “talk to the hand approach.” We are fed up with them trying to tell us that legitimate scientific research, court settlements that have been awarded for vaccine damage, and the overwhelming anecdotal of evidence of thousands and thousands of parents and doctors, do not constitute real science and don’t warrant their attention. I believe that history will prove the moms and dads were right about autism. The sea of evidence and testimony can no longer be ignored, and those who refuse to acknowledge it now will soon take their rightful place beside the many learned men and women of the past who insisted the earth was flat. This problem will be solved. It will be solved because all of us are in the same boat. The people at the CDC will not be spared this experience. The people who make the vaccines, and profit by them, will not be spared this experience. And the people who make the policy in that building behind me will not be spared this experience—unless real, significant change is made. Autism is everywhere. It’s on every street in every town. It’s a warning from the universe that there is a serious imbalance in our environment, and that immediate changes must be made. To quote Burton Goldberg, an expert on the new age of medicine, “Autism is the canary in the coal mine.” But you know all this, because you’ve lived it. Seeing what Jenny’s been through has taught me one thing: that we have to trust our own instincts. If we’ve learned anything from Hurricane Katrina, it’s that we can’t always rely on government agencies to do the right thing. Oftentimes, they will avoid the obvious cause of a problem if the solution is inconvenient. And I certainly wouldn’t trust the drug companies to regulate themselves; God knows they’re far too busy fighting the terrible scourge of restless leg syndrome—also known as “lazy ass disease.” But I’m not a cynic, and I didn’t come here today to concentrate wholly on what’s wrong with the system. I believe there is a positive reason for everything we go through, and even the most challenging and painful things that happen to us have a purpose. These children have a purpose. It probably has something to do with making us aware of our excesses, and, even more importantly, teaching us how to love. Without Evan, I might never have seen the greatness of Jenny’s spirit. My daughter Jane, Jenny and Evan are the greatest things that ever happened to me, and learning how to love them has made me a man. So dads: hang in there! You need these kids as much as these kids need you. Lastly, I want to say that I believe very strongly in visualization and faith. Everything that’s happened to me that’s good, has been the result of my willingness to believe totally in how I want things to be, as if they already exist. Let’s dare to do that today. Let’s dare to believe that they’re greening our vaccines, the vaccine schedule has been changed, and our kids are receiving fewer doses over longer periods of time. Let’s dare to believe that we change substantially improved the quality of our children’s lives, and because of days like today, future generations are virtually free of autism. I promise you that if you dare to believe that thought, everyone who is in a position to make a difference will be compelled to do so, and we will all share this victory. I wish you peace, love and oneness. Thank you very much. Thank you, thank you.
