Jimmy Kimmel Creates Hilarious ‘Anti-Vaxxer Barbie’

Jimmy Kimmel mocked anti-vaxxers with the creation of a Barbie doll who ‘doesn’t trust science’.

After laying into anti-vaxxer Christopher Key, Kimmel joked that there was ‘so much stuff you can sell to these anti-vaxxers’, and that Barbie-makers Mattel had capitalised off the non-believers by coming up with a ‘twist on what is probably America’s all-time favourite doll’.

Check it out below:

Dressed in t-shirts that read ‘I call my own shots’ and ‘I am not your lab rat’, the ‘anti-vax’ Barbie is described as ‘strong’, ‘independent’ and someone who ‘doesn’t trust science’. She comes with her own computer to do ‘her own research’ into the vaccines – and no doubt come up with some entirely baseless theories in the process.

Two young children playing with the dolls can be heard mimicking anti-vaxxers as they make the dolls say that ‘Bill Gates is the anti-Christ’ and that ‘vaccines have Satan’s blood’, as well as taking their Barbie on a trip to the supermarket where she informs a masked doll that she has a ‘medical condition’ that prevents her from wearing a covering of her own.

Drawing on the extreme solutions touted by anti-vaxxers and some of the situations they might find themselves in, the ad also sees the Barbie enjoying some horse medicine and being restrained on a plane where she has presumably once again refused to wear a mask.

Viewers praised Kimmel for the satirical creation of the anti-vax Barbie, with one responding to the video to say the advert was ‘some high, high quality content’.

Another commented, ‘Haha, the freaking barbie commercial cracked me up!!’

I think it’s safe to say that we definitely don’t need any toys inspiring children to take on unfounded beliefs, so while there might be a few people tempted by the thought of the anti-vax Barbie, hopefully the doll will never make it to shelves.
