US EditionResearchers Say a CDC Website Change Misrepresents Vaccine Science
CDC revised its autism-vaccine page to include qualifying language pending an HHS review, despite over 40 studies with 5.6 million people showing no vaccine-autism link, experts said.
- On the CDC website, editors added qualifying language saying the claim `vaccines do not cause autism` is not evidence-based, yet the page retains the header under an agreement with Sen. Bill Cassidy, creating a confusing presentation.
- HHS launched a comprehensive assessment of autism causes, appointing David Geier to lead it, and the CDC page will update with 'gold-standard' science as required by the Data Quality Act.
- Four studies in the CDC table show no evidence linking vaccines and autism, and Dr. Susan J. Kressly said, `Since 1998, independent researchers across seven countries have conducted more than 40 high-quality studies involving over 5.6 million people. The conclusion is clear and unambiguous: There's no link between vaccines and autism.`
- CDC staff and current CDC scientists told NPR that the updates are a `glaring red flag` and `anti-science`, while medical societies have sued, citing vaccine trust issues.
- Promises made at confirmation have been broken, critics say, as HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. fired CDC vaccine experts and loaded advisory panels with anti-vaccination appointees.

Did the CDC just dismantle vaccine safety clarity?
“Vaccines do not cause autism.” That statement once anchored public health. The CDC just dismantled it, quietly, strategically, and dangerously. Presumption reversed, justice subverted Attorney Lindsey Halligan didn’t misspeak when she claimed James Comey must prove his innocence beyond a reasonable doubt to a Virginia grand jury. She exposed the new doctrine: guilt by accusation, Read more… Did the CDC just dismantle vaccine safety clarity? ori…
