Kennedy Jr., the CDC has been instructed to alter its website, promoting vaccine skepticism by suggesting a possible link between vaccines and autism.

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.

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
The CDC’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices recently updated its recommendations regarding the MMRV vaccine, which protects against measles, mumps, rubella, and varicella (chickenpox). The updated guidance advises against using the MMRV vaccine for children under the age of 4 due to a minor risk of febrile seizures in that age group. This adjustment aims to mitigate potential side effects while maintaining the vaccine’s overall benefits in preventing these diseases.

The CDC’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) voted to change its recommendation for an early childhood vaccine, amidst a discussion that involved vaccine skepticism. The committee will now recommend two separate shots for children aged 12-15 months: one for MMR and another for varicella, instead of a single shot. This decision comes after a period of upheaval, including the firing of previous ACIP members and the appointment of individuals with known vaccine skepticism. Public trust in the changes is questionable, with some groups already expressing concerns, and the vote highlights the current uncertainty surrounding public health guidance.

Former high-ranking CDC officials testified before the Senate, alleging that Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has cultivated an anti-scientific environment characterized by censorship and policy manipulation. These officials, including former CDC Director Susan Monarez and Deputy Director Debra Houry, stated that Kennedy demanded vaccine policy changes without scientific justification and silenced dissenting voices within the agency. They also expressed concerns about the potential negative impacts of these actions on public health, particularly vaccine skepticism and declining vaccination rates across the US. The witnesses warned that these actions put the nation at risk of being unprepared for future disease outbreaks.
