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.

RFK Jr. Wants You To Know He’s Personally Responsible for Anti-Vax Misinformation on CDC Website. He told the New York Times there’s no proof that vaccines don’t cause autism, which is a lie. This is a bold claim, and it’s one that should raise immediate red flags. Essentially, we’re being told that Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is taking direct credit for pushing false information about vaccines and autism, going so far as to suggest that the CDC’s website, an institution dedicated to public health, is complicit in spreading this misinformation. This assertion, particularly when paired with his statement about the lack of definitive proof against a vaccine-autism link, is a dangerous and disingenuous strategy.… 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.

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
Secretary of Health and Human Services Robert F. Kennedy Jr. stated there is not sufficient evidence to definitively link Tylenol to autism, softening previous warnings made by himself and President Trump. While urging pregnant women to use the medication only when essential, Kennedy acknowledged the suggestive nature of the potential link and recommended a cautious approach. These updated remarks follow a previous press conference in September where warnings were issued without concrete scientific backing. Kennedy has also linked circumcision and autism, and the remarks mirror those made by the FDA concerning acetaminophen use during pregnancy.

After initially promoting a link between Tylenol use and autism, Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has since admitted there is insufficient evidence to support the claim. Despite this admission, former President Donald Trump continues to publicly discourage Tylenol use during pregnancy, and Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton filed a lawsuit against Tylenol’s manufacturers based on the discredited theory. This shift in Kennedy’s stance calls into question the legitimacy of the initial claims and their potential impact on public health, especially given the widespread reach of Trump and Kennedy’s statements.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s recent public remarks regarding alleged links between acetaminophen, autism, and circumcision have surprised Republican senators who previously voted to confirm him as Secretary of Health and Human Services. Kennedy made unfounded claims about the causes of autism, specifically referencing a TikTok video involving Tylenol use during pregnancy and suggesting a correlation between infant circumcision and increased autism rates. Senators such as Thom Tillis and Lisa Murkowski expressed confusion and indicated that these viewpoints were new to them. The Independent reached out to Senator Bill Cassidy for comment.
