Revision as of 09:21, 15 November 2015

Trace Amounts: Autism, Mercury, and the Hidden Truth is a 2014 anti-vaccine film promoting a link between vaccines and autism. It disputes the Institute of Medicine's current consensus that no convincing scientific evidence supports these claims.

The film has been promoted by celebrities including Robert F. Kennedy, Jr.. It was marketed through targeted "boutique screenings" to celebrities known to be sympathetic to the anti-vaccination cause, including Jim Carrey, Ed Begley, Jr., and Bob Sears, and is credited with inspiring Carrey's "Twitter meltdown" following passage of California Senate Bill 277, which removed personal belief exemptions from vaccination requirements. It has also been used by Robert F. Kennedy Jr. in his lobbying efforts targeting Oregon lawmakers who could influence Oregon Senate Bill 442, which sought to remove personal belief exemptions from vaccination requirements, but was subsequently withdrawn.
