The Spin
TheFinally, the CDC finallyhas admitted what parents have known for decades — there's no scientific evidence supporting the claim that vaccines don't cause autism. After ignoring 107 studies linking vaccines to autism, health authorities are starting to acknowledge the truth that vaccine science has been nothing but tobacco-style marketing.
Decades of rigorous scientific studies consistently show no link between vaccines and autism, including comprehensive research examining entire populations. The CDC's recent website changes reflect dangerous misinformation that threatens public health by undermining trust in safe, effective vaccines that protect communities from preventable diseases.
