The current CDC page says that studies supporting a link between vaccines and autism β€œhave been ignored by health authorities.”
It states: β€œThe claim β€˜vaccines do not cause autism’ is not an evidence-based claim because studies have not ruled out the possibility that infant vaccines cause autism.”
CDC communications staff who were first asked to post the revisions to the website were reluctant to do so without sign-off from scientific leadership, so a higher-level communications official did so, according to an agency employee and a former federal health official with direct knowledge of the matter, who spoke on the condition of anonymity for fear of retribution.
The revisions show that the β€œCDC cannot currently be trusted as a scientific voice,” said Demetre Daskalakis, who formerly led the agency’s center responsible for respiratory viruses and immunizations. He was one of three senior leaders who resigned in August because of what they said was the politicization of science at the agency. β€œThe weaponization of the CDC voice by validating false claims on official websites confirms what we have been saying,” he said.
