(#6) Kat Von D
- 36
In an Instagram post on June 7, 2018, Kat Von D discussed her pregnancy and all of the unsolicited advice she was receiving in regard to child-rearing. In this post, she announced that she would not be vaccinating her child:
I knew the minute we announced our pregnancy that we would be bombarded with unsolicited advice. Some good and some questionable — unsolicited none the less. I also was prepared for the backlash and criticism we would get if we decided to be open about our personal approach to our pregnancy... And, if you don’t know what it’s like to have the entire world openly criticize, judge, throw uninformed opinions, and curse you — try being an openly pregnant vegan on Instagram, having a natural, drug-free home birth in water with a midwife and doula, who has the intention of raising a vegan child, without vaccinations.

- 33

(#10) Terry Rossio
- 58
In 2016, screenwriter Terry Rossio allegedly acquired rights to the Andrew Wakefield's 2010 book Callous Disregard: Autism and Vaccines — The Truth Behind a Tragedy.
"Dr. Wakefield is clearly a polarizing figure, reviled by the general public yet also revered by many. The details and drama surrounding his life are even more remarkable than generally known," Rossio said.
Although his acquisition of the book's rights does not mean Rossio is against vaccines — after all, he could have simply been interested in Wakefield's life — a controversial tweet of his in November 2018 comparing calling people "anti-vaxxers" to a racial slur suggests a sympathetic nature toward the movement.

And I personally have friends whose babies were drastically affected in this way.”
