"None of this is true. The first statement is a lie. The second statement is a lie by omission, in that there are no credible studies that support a link between vaccines and autism, in which case it is good that health authorities have debunked and dismissed the famous (since-retracted) study that did. And one can only imagine that whatever "comprehensive assessment" HHS undertakes on the topic will be equally shoddy science: experiments designed to prove a claim, not test one."
"The CDC page, titled "Autism and Vaccines," now lists the following "Key Points": 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."
Public health agencies have presented statements suggesting that vaccines might be linked to autism, despite overwhelming scientific evidence to the contrary. Extensive research has shown no causal relationship between vaccines and autism, and no credible studies support such a link. Claims that health authorities ignored supporting studies are unfounded because the notable study that suggested a link was retracted and debunked. Recent federal assessments and reports alleging alternative causes, including claims about acetaminophen, lack robust evidence and have faced criticism. Assertions implying unresolved causation risk undermining vaccination programs and public trust in disease prevention.
