Anti-vaccine celebrities are popping up more and more and they all seem to believe they have more knowledge than most scientists and doctors. In a recent study, it was shown that the total cumulative education among anti-vaccine celebrities added up to just 3 years of community college, a total less than that of Dr. Paul Offit alone.
“I’ve said this before, we don’t need no fancy degrees and book learnin’ to know stuff about science,” said Jenny McCarthy, Google PhD. “I have learned more about vaccines and medicine from Google than any doctor or scientist on the planet. That I can guarantee.”
Jenny Elfman, scientologist and anti-vaccer, responded to The Spudd’s reports stating “I did go to college actually. I went for almost two full semesters before dropping out when I realized that higher education wasn’t my thing.”
Jim Carrey claims to have a PhD, but upon further investigation he actually has an honorary PhD in Fine Art from the Maharishi University of Management. Carrey himself is a high school drop out.
Somewhat more successful in the education department is Rob Schneider, who did manage to graduate high school – but never attended college or university.
Kristin Cavallari, former reality star and anti-vaccine mother of two, manages to top both Schneider and Carrey, having attended Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles for almost one full semester before dropping out.
The study looked at several other anti-vaccine celebrities, most of whom either never attended college or dropped out. On the other hand, medical doctors and scientists who study vaccines average 10-16 years of post-high school education.
