CDC to Launch New Study on Vaccines and Autism Despite Extensive Evidence Debunking Any Link

The planned investigation follows decades of research disproving a connection and coincides with Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s leadership at Health and Human Services.

The CDC is initiating a new study to explore potential links between vaccines and autism, a topic extensively studied with no evidence supporting such a connection.
The investigation aligns with the tenure of Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who has a history of promoting debunked claims about vaccines and autism.
Multiple large-scale studies, including those using the Vaccine Safety Datalink, have consistently shown no causal relationship between vaccines and autism diagnoses.
Experts criticize the study as a waste of resources, suggesting the funds could be better used to research genuine autism causes or support affected families.
The original claim linking vaccines to autism stems from a fraudulent 1998 study by Andrew Wakefield, which has since been retracted and widely discredited.
