The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention updated its "Vaccine Safety" page to state, "The claim 'vaccines do not cause autism' is not an evidence-based claim because studies have not ruled out the possibility that infant vaccines cause autism."
Repeated studies over several decades have found no connection between vaccines and autism, including a major study in Denmark that examined the entire childhood population over a decade.
The page on the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s website concerning vaccinations and autism now repeats false claims of a possible connection between the two. It’s a view shared by Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. and his former organization, which called it “biggest public health reversal of our lifetime.”
The “Vaccine Safety” page used to read studies have found “no link between receiving vaccines and developing autism spectrum disorder.”
That has changed.
“The claim ’vaccines do not cause autism’ is not an evidence-based claim because studies have not ruled out the possibility that infant vaccines cause autism,” the website now reads.
The site claims any studies supporting a link have been ignored by health authorities and that HHS launched a comprehensive assessment of the causes of autism.
The CDC also took down a page advising pregnant women on the benefits of the COVID-19 vaccination.
