The outside of a CDC building overlayed in blue gradient. Text reads, "November 21, 2025. The CDC rewrote their website on November 19 suggesting a link between vaccination and autism. The statements on the CDC’s webpage are now false. They rely upon data that has been revoked by medical journals and debunked by a large body of high-quality research. There is no one single cause of autism. Research exploring factors that may be associated with autism is already underway. But we know definitively that vaccines do not cause autism. Numerous studies have demonstrated that vaccines are not associated with an increased risk of autism."

The outside of a CDC building overlayed in blue gradient. Text reads, "November 21, 2025. Vaccination is the safest, most effective tool that we have to prevent severe disease, hospitalization, and death from infectious diseases. Globally, vaccines have saved more than 150 million lives in the last 50 years, mostly infants. Under our current federal administration, the CDC is no longer a reliable and trustworthy source of information regarding vaccination. The statements on the CDC’s website now undermine decades of work done to increase vaccination rates in the US. At the Boston Public Health Commission, we believe in scientific evidence. We are a trustworthy source of public health information, and we will continue to disseminate accurate information to our local communities because that is what they deserve."
