Welcome to Outrage Watch, HitFix's (almost) daily rundown of entertainment-related kerfuffles. Not anxious enough already? Get your fix of righteous indignation below, and stay posted for outrage updates throughout the week.
So…Jim Carrey. Not a big fan of vaccines (or rather, the trace amounts of mercury and aluminum contained in vaccines). Or California Governor Jerry Brown. Or California Governor Jerry Brown's decision Tuesday to eliminate personal and religious exemptions for immunizations for schoolchildren in the state. We know this because he is being very, very vocal about it on Twitter. This is not a surprise, as Carrey once dated Jenny McCarthy, who has previously linked her son's autism with immunizations.
California Gov says yes to poisoning more children with mercury and aluminum in manditory vaccines. This corporate fascist must be stopped.

They say mercury in fish is dangerous but forcing all of our children to be injected with mercury in thimerosol is no risk. Make sense?

I am not anti-vaccine. I am anti-thimerosal, anti-mercury. They have taken some of the mercury laden thimerosal out of vaccines. NOT ALL!

The CDC can't solve a problem they helped start. It's too risky to admit they have been wrong about mercury/thimerasol. They are corrupt.

All we are saying is,”Take the neurotoxins out of the vaccines.” Make them toxin free.History will show that that was a reasonable request.

McCarthy has so far been silent about the bill on Twitter.
