CDC changes stance on vaccine link to autism claims
Seeking Alpha ^ | 11/20/25 | Jonathan Block

Posted on 11/20/2025 6:58:50 PM PST by SeekAndFind

The CDC altered a webpage Wednesday dealing with autism and vaccines to state that the idea that vaccines don't cause autism "is not an evidence-based claim."

The page notes that "studies have not ruled out the possibility that infant vaccines cause autism," adding that "Studies supporting a link have been ignored by health authorities."

The development was first reported by The New York Times.

The site now contains information often cited by HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., including that the rise in autism diagnoses since the 1980s coincides with more childhood vaccines administered.

"Though the cause of autism is likely to be multi-factorial, the scientific foundation to rule out one potential contributor entirely has not been established," the CDC now says.

The page still contains a header reading "Vaccines do not cause Autism." A note at the bottom states that the header is remaining following an agreement with Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions Committee Chair Bill Cassidy (R-La.), a medical doctor who has sparred with RFK Jr.

While not mentioning the change directly, < href="https://x.com/SenBillCassidy/status/1991599014270365829"> in an X post , Cassidy wrote, "What parents need to hear right now is vaccines for measles, polio, hepatitis B and other childhood diseases are safe and effective and will not cause autism. Any statement to the contrary is wrong, irresponsible, and actively makes Americans sicker."

LORD, please raise up a primary challenger to soundly defeat Senator Bill Cassidy of Louisiana...

He has been the *biggest* hurdle to MAHA and RFK Jr’s agenda...

He’s the reason why the extremely astute, balanced, and qualified Dr. Dave Weldon did not get to advance into confirmation hearings to become head of the CDC.

Something we don’t seem to appreciate much anymore is the reason why we educate our children and young people: Because we don’t want to be surrounded by the cast from the movie Idiocracy.
But in this 21st century we compound this problem of graduating functionally illiterate (and math ignorant) cretins by injecting them with serum that turns them into blithering idiots.
That’s just great. They won’\ worry about (what should be) a 50 trillion dollar national debt by the time we all go tits up.

"Forbidden Facts" by Gavin de Becker

Do yourself a favor and read this book NOW!

The link between Vaccines and Autism is clear, and so is the massive coverup.

It's a quick and easy read, and very well written and sourced.

You cannot disprove a negative. There is no way to prove that vaccines do not cause autism. There is no way to prove that water does not cause autism. The sample sizes are to large.

Logically you should try to prove that autism is caused by vaccines. The sample size of autism is much smaller than that of vaccines.

The other challenge is seen by asking is all autism caused by vaccines?

If there were not vaccines would there be be no autism?

Muslims have found a way to claim autism children in the US and funnel the money back to support their Islam brothers. Not sure all the claimed reports of autism is truth.

IOW - they didn’t properly study the connection and just claimed it wasn’t so - despite the evidence...now that they’re caught, they will try to blame it on others....
