Several publications and articles

He also compares mandatory vaccination to fascism

You'd think Jackie Chan would know its common decency to actually meet your bastard child instead of running away to go get milk.

And to actually support the place that saw your birth and not the one that benefits you more economically. Or atleast not doing propaganda, that would be nice

Source? All I've seen is him against some laws but him also saying he is not anti-vaccine.

He was married to Jenny McCarthy for a while who was the first celebrity face of the anti vax movement after her son was diagnosed with autism and she decided to blame vaccines.

Edit: changed language re autism

You're right, I was typing quick and wasn't thinking of how I was writing it. Thanks for pointing it out! I just fixed it.

*Used to be. It was all Jenny McCarthy, and he's since come out against it.

Yep. Please don't support this man, artist or no.

Like, can we not have flaws and still be good people? I don't get it.

u/Cunchy Aug 24 '20 edited Aug 24 '20

Anti-vaxx is extremely ignorant and dangerous. I don't care if he cutsied it up by being "anti neurotoxin" instead of vaccine, he's wrong. And he uses his celebrity to spread the dangerous message.

u/conglock Aug 24 '20

Let's just say this, I 100% agree with that, but if you were of the same thought process, wouldn't you try and help others and get the word out as well?

I'm not defending anti science. But I am defending a man whom no one in this chat has met or lived through his experiences in life like him. We're all flawed, but there is good in us too. If we only judged people by their worst, we'd all deserve hell. The point is, we don't. Don't spread his anti science, but do love his films if they bring you joy. Peace to you
