Critics of Dirty Sexy Funny radio show host Jenny McCarthy are officially calling for her apologies for saying vaccines led to autism.
Jenny McCarthy Has Harsh Words For 'The View'
A new Journal of the American Medical Association study published on April 21 studied more than 95,000 children and found reportedly no correlation between the measles vaccine and autismm making it the latest that has reportedly done so.
In the JAMA Study, Dr. Bryan King and a number of other researchers found "no harmful association between MMR vaccine receipt and ASD even among children already at higher risk for ASD," after "low immunization rates led to four outbreaks of measles in the U.S. this year," according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

"Controversy seems to follow autism like the tail on a kite," King wrote in his study. "Immunization rates remain low in certain populations and countries because of this inappropriate belief [that there's a correlation]."
McCarthy, often considered the celebrity voice against vaccinations, is now under fire for her claims that her son, Evan, 12, became autistic after he was vaccinated, saying in the past "If you ask a parent of a autistic child if they want the measles or the autism, we will stand in line for the f--king measles."
McCarthy also previously claimed "The reason why [parents] are not vaccinating is because the vaccines are not safe. Make a better product and then parents will vaccinate."
Now, as a result, fans are demanding she apologize for her previous claims.
McCarthy has not spoken out against the study as of yet, though she did do a segment on her April 22 show about Autism Awareness, which she shared on her Twitter account.
