Jenny McCarthy has defended her decision to have silicone breast implants despite being a known skeptic of vaccinations and "toxic-phobic."
Jenny, who is widely known as a prominent figure and public face of the anti-vaccine movement and has promoted unproven therapies, spoke on her podcast about refusing to get her implants removed, especially "in this time of having to be in these dresses and stuff like that.

That is one thing that I, maybe, someday when I'm an old lady, will want to be a free bird, but in this time of having to be in these dresses and stuff like that."
Speaking on her podcast – The Jenny McCarthy Wahlberg Show – during a conversation with her plastic surgeon, Dr. Terry Dubrow, Jenny said she went down "dramatically" to another size before she quipped: "But I am not ready for zucchini titties. I'm just not there yet."

"Terry's been doing my boobs for a very, very long time,"Jenny continued, sharing he had completed her first reduction in the early 2000s and has also performed a lift for her.

Terry shared that he did not believe the implants were connected to the poisoning, insisting the last pair looked "fine" when he took them out.

The mother of one also felt that she developed PTSD from the ordeal. "They talk about people with mold poisoning having PTSD. I'm still in the traumatic part. I'm not even in the 'post' part yet, because I feel like now everything is mold. I can detect mold, honestly, like a mold dog," she said.

"[I'm] paranoid now about basically sleeping anywhere," she shared on last week's episode. "I don't have to worry about rain in California, but I do worry about chemtrails and also sprinklers."
Chemtrails are a debunked conspiracy theory that alleges the white lines visible from the ground behind airplanes are toxic chemicals intentionally sprayed by the government.
Jenny has also rejected the label of anti-vaccine advocate, describing herself as "pro-safe vaccine." She also spent many years attributing her son's autism diagnosis to immunizations, citing a long-disputed study linking vaccines to autism that was later confirmed to be fraudulent and was retracted.
