Jenny McCarthy: Vaccines Shouldn't Be Eliminated, But Vaccination Schedules Should Be Looked At; Jenny McCarthy Not Anti-Vaccine

Jenny McCarthy has once again tried to clarify that she's not anti-vaccinations and insists her controversial anti-vaccine stance has been misconstrued. McCarthy says she is merely opposed to children getting multiple vaccination shots in one doctor's visit.McCarthy has an 11-year-old son, Evan, who was diagnosed with autism in 2005. 


McCarthy recently penned an op-ed for the Chicago Sun Times on vaccinations that got her labeled "anti-vaccine," said people should more than just headlines. She told GMA "I think people should read exactly what I have said instead of reading headlines, and that's why I wanted to write that piece. Everything that I have said and everything that I believe in is in that piece, so I hope people will go and refer to that so they know exactly what I've been saying."McCarthy wrote "This is not a change in my stance nor is it a new position I have recently adopted. I've never told anyone to not vaccinate."


She continued "My beautiful son, Evan, inspired this mother to question the 'one size fits all' philosophy of the recommended vaccine schedule. I embarked on this quest not only for myself and my family, but for countless parents who shared my desire for knowledge that could lead to options and alternate schedules, but never to eliminate the vaccines."


Jenny McCarthy is not anti-vaccines. She just wants the facts. McCarthy, whose son has autism that might have been triggered by the vaccine schedule, says "Everyone should ask questions, but I'm certainly not against them."


"The View" co-host Jenny McCarthy has gotten a reputation in the press for espousing strong anti-vaccination views. She says this is not accurate. McCarthy she insisted on GMA Wednesday morning that she has never been anti-vaccine.


Jenny McCarthy cleared the air on "Good Morning America" saying "Everyone should ask questions, but I'm certainly not against them."
