Jenny McCarthy Talks Autism: Donnie Wahlberg Proposal Details Surface, ‘The View’ Co-Host Addresses ‘Anti-Vaccine‘ Claims Once Again

Tags

Jenny McCarthy has been connecting autism and vaccines for quite some time now.

Recently, the co-host of "The View" had explained that she actually isn't "anti-vaccine" and that she had been wrongly branded.

Jenny McCarthy brought up her stance once again earlier this week during her appearance on "Good Morning America."

In regards to her reportedly being "anti-vaccine" due to the fact that she believes that vaccines may cause autism, McCarthy stated, "Everyone should ask questions, but I'm certainly not against them."

Her connections between autism and vaccines have been continuously bashed via multiple social media outlets. Jenny McCarthy believes that this misconception of her is actually a direct result of "people not doing their own critical thinking," according to ABC News.

Last month, the 41-year-old had written an op-ed for the Chicago Sun-Times, stating that she truly isn't "anti-vaccine."

"This is not a change in my stance nor is it a new position that I have recently adopted. For years, I have repeatedly stated that I am, in fact, 'pro-vaccine' and for years I have been wrongly branded as 'anti-vaccine,'" wrote Jenny.

During her appearance on GMA, the former Playboy model also revealed details of her recent engagement to Donnie Wahlberg.

The journey to finding love wasn't easy for McCarthy, despite being engaged to her handsome fiancé.

"I waited a year without dating, if you can believe it. I literally said, 'This is specifically what I want in a man,' and there he came," said the blonde bombshell.

The author of "Stirring the Pot: My Recipe for Getting What You Want Out of Life" told E! News, "It's still very new and shocking and exciting and I feel really lucky. I feel just blessed."

The proposal was sweeter than ever. McCarthy's 11-year-old son, Evan, helped by bringing out cards with "Will," "You," "Marry." Wahlberg then came out with Evan, who had a shirt on with "Me?" on it, as Donnie held the ring.

"I feel like the luckiest girl in the world. He's so wonderful," stated McCarthy.
