She claims they are more nuanced, but nah, not so much. If you just want to take her word for it, even [Robert F Kennedy, Jr.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Children%27s_Health_Defense) will tell you (if you choose to listen to his fucked up opinions) that he’s not anti-vax.

She’s on the advisory board of Holistic Mom’s Network, which is just as woo-filled and anti-vax as it sounds. She joins fellow members such as [Peggy O’Mara](https://www.amazon.com/Vaccination-Issue-Times-Peggy-OMara/dp/091425717X) and [Barbara Loe Fisher](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Vaccine_Information_Center) who would also likely tell you that they’re not anti-vax.

She often recommends authors such as [Robert Sears](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Sears_(physician)) and [Lauren Feder](https://sciencebasedmedicine.org/mothering-peddling-health-misinformation-and-misinformed-consent/), and as for [that popular video of hers that everyone trots out when defending her](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ov_Jw02uHGY)? The very first resource that she provides for further research is our favorite child-killer [Robert F. Kennedy, Jr](https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2021/05/how-robert-f-kennedy-jr-became-anti-vaxxer-icon-nightmare).

She may have gotten the COVID vaccine for her and her kids (or she could just be a big fucking liar), but she’s definitely pushing her anti-vaccine friends (who also claim to not be against vaccines) into the public eye. She can go fuck right off to Jenny-McCarthy-Land.

Don’t even get me started on her [victim-blaming bullshit](https://medium.com/@maishazj/mayim-bialiks-victim-blaming-and-the-heartbreaking-reactions-survivors-may-have-d910cbe7f66a).
