The agency’s website on vaccines & autism, updated Wednesday, now makes several #false claims about a connection, echoing longtime rhetoric from “Health” Secy #RFKJr, who has a lengthy history of disparaging vaccines & linking them to autism.

The current #CDC page falsely says that studies supporting a link between #vaccines & #autism “have been ignored by health authorities.”
It falsely states: “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.”

Alarmingly ramped up ideological messaging from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC):

https://www.cdc.gov/vaccine-safety/about/autism.html

From the footnote on the first heading within the article (‘Vaccines do not cause autism*’), we can see there is clearly a lot of tension behind the scenes.

For the avoidance of doubt, no, vaccines do not cause autism. Furthermore, there is nothing wrong with being Autistic. (Elon Musk is just one Autistic person – the vast majority of us aren’t like that!)
