Under the direction of newly appointed Secretary of Health and Human Services, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the CDC has been instructed to alter its website, promoting vaccine skepticism by suggesting a possible link between vaccines and autism. This directly contradicts the agency’s previous statements and Kennedy’s prior assurances. The change undermines the CDC’s credibility and the government’s role as a trusted source of health information, potentially leading to increased illness and even death. To address this issue, the article calls for the impeachment of Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

More than 25,000 cases of whooping cough recorded this year, higher than pre-pandemic levels: CDC, and it’s a sobering reality. This resurgence of a preventable disease is a stark reminder of the importance of public health measures, especially vaccination. It’s hard not to feel a sense of frustration when you consider that we have the tools to protect ourselves and our children from whooping cough, yet we’re seeing these numbers climb.
It’s almost unbelievable that we’re still grappling with a disease that has a readily available vaccine. The fact that the rise in cases is, at least in part, attributable to vaccine hesitancy is just heartbreaking.… Continue reading
In a recent interview, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. claimed to have directed the CDC to alter its website, expressing doubt about the established scientific consensus that vaccines do not cause autism. Kennedy stated that there is not enough evidence to prove vaccines don’t cause autism, despite numerous studies refuting this claim. This directive has raised concerns among CDC staff and public health experts, who fear that the agency’s guidance can no longer be trusted. Meanwhile, the U.S. faces a rise in measles cases, with most cases occurring in unvaccinated individuals, further highlighting the dangers of vaccine hesitancy.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) website has been altered to contradict the scientific consensus that vaccines do not cause autism, sparking strong criticism from public health and autism experts. The updated “vaccine safety” webpage now states that the claim “Vaccines do not cause autism” is not evidence-based, despite numerous studies to the contrary. This change follows the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ (HHS) efforts to revisit the safety of vaccines. Concerns have been raised by former CDC officials, and critics suggest the changes are ideologically driven, particularly with the appointment of anti-vaccine activist Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as HHS secretary.

CDC staff members expressed shock and dismay, as the page contradicts previous guidance and promotes anti-vaccine talking points. The new page is believed to be the result of political interference from the Health and Human Services (HHS) level. Morale is reportedly low at the CDC, with many employees expressing concerns about the agency’s ability to fulfill its mission.

C.D.C. Website No Longer Rejects Possible Link Between Autism and Vaccines
Let’s unpack this whole situation with the CDC and its website. It seems the agency has changed its phrasing, and now it’s no longer outright rejecting the possibility of a link between vaccines and autism. Instead of a straightforward denial, they’re using language that acknowledges the *theoretical* possibility, even though the scientific consensus is overwhelmingly clear: vaccines do not cause autism. My initial reaction? It’s a bit of a facepalm moment. This feels like the CDC is playing a game of semantics, and it’s a dangerous one.
The core of the problem, as I see it, isn’t the science itself.… Continue reading
