Its a major conspiracy theory, sparked by a fraudulent paper in the Lancet in the 1990s claiming a link between the MMR vaccine and autism.
Which was brought into the public consciousness by an obnoxious ex model named Jenny McCarthy. Who went on every media outlet she could lie her way onto, to spout the nonsense found in that single fraudulent paper. Even when the paper was publicly discredited by several medical journals and the bulk of the medical community, she still continued to spout it as fact. She is single-handedly responsible for the majority of the antivax movements in the US. Most antivaxxers have deluded themselves into thinking that somehow that single paper was valid and the entire rest of the worldwide medical community is wrong.
And Jim Carrey supported McCarthy, his then girlfriend, all the way.
