"The site now reads: 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. Studies supporting a link have been ignored by health authorities. HHS has launched a comprehensive assessment of the causes of autism, including investigations on plausible biologic mechanisms and potential causal links. The webpage goes on to state that Scientific studies have not ruled out the possibility that infant vaccines contribute to the development of autism."
"I'm a doctor who has seen people die from vaccine-preventable diseases. What parents need to hear right now is vaccines for measles, polio, hepatitis B and other childhood diseases are safe and effective and will not cause autism. Any statement to the contrary is wrong, irresponsible, and actively makes Americans sicker, wrote Cassidy on X. We need to understand the real causes of autism. Studies show there's a genetic predisposition when a mom who's pregnant is exposed to environmental toxins which can increase a child's risk of autism. It's deeply troubling that, according to HHS officials, they appeared to have canceled hundreds of millions in research on autism genetics."
The Centers for Disease Control changed its website language to remove the definitive statement that vaccines are not linked to autism, stating studies have not ruled out the possibility that infant vaccines could contribute to autism and that studies supporting a link have been ignored. The Department of Health and Human Services launched a comprehensive assessment of autism causes, including biologic mechanisms and potential causal links. Senate Health Committee Chairman Bill Cassidy condemned the change, affirmed that childhood vaccines are safe and do not cause autism, and urged investigation into genetic predisposition and environmental toxin exposures while criticizing reported cuts to autism genetics research funding.
