The new law requires all school-aged children to undergo 10 complete vaccinations before enrolling in California schools.
Carrey said via Twitter, "This corporate fascist must be stopped," referring to Gov. Brown.
California Gov says yes to poisoning more children with mercury and aluminum in manditory vaccines. This corporate fascist must be stopped.

And he didn't stop there:
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?

The "Dumb and Dumber" star has been public about his thoughts on the mercury levels used in vaccinations since his previous relationship with Jenny McCarthy, who is an outspoken anti-vaccine campaigner, believing it led her son to become autistic.

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.

"The science is clear that vaccines dramatically protect children against a number of infectious and dangerous diseases," Gov. Brown wrote after signing the law, reported by the San Jose Mercury News. "While it's true that no medical intervention is without risk, the evidence shows that immunization powerfully benefits and protects the community."
Carrey was not the only celebrity who voiced their disagreement with the new law (Senate Bill 277) on Twitter.
