The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is planning a large study into potential connections between vaccines and autism, two sources familiar with the matter told Reuters, despite extensive scientific research that has disproven or failed to find evidence of such links.
The CDC's move comes amid one of the largest measles outbreaks the U.S. has seen in the past decade, with more than 200 cases and two deaths in Texas and New Mexico. The outbreak has been fueled by declining vaccination rates in parts of the United States where parents have been falsely persuaded that such shots do more harm than good.
U.S. Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr, whose role includes authority over the CDC, has long sowed doubt over the safety of the combined vaccine for measles, mumps and rubella (MMR).
In a cabinet meeting last week, Kennedy initially downplayed news that a school-aged child had died of measles in Texas, the first such death in a decade, calling such outbreaks ordinary and failing to mention the role of vaccination to prevent measles.

NUKE THE UNCONSTITUTIONAL CDC AND ITS AFFILIATES!!!!!
Way to editorialize there, Reuters/MSN. Just insert "falsely" to turn a news item into an op-ed.
An actual real study instead of big pharma propaganda?
Reuters cannot report the facts and leave it at that.
They must insert leftist propaganda.
My reaction to the headline was “that’s only about 20 years late.” Minimum.
The CDC lost a lot of credibility with the thinking public with Covid.
The phrase “more harm than good” is a telling and scientifically accurate admission that vaccines sometimes do harm. Sadly, for decades, the scientific establishment has denied and propagandized against this truth. The result is a failure to properly investigate vaccine injuries.
Several years ago I read extensively about this because a relative has autism.
As I recall the studies had flaws in their data analysis and that a vaccine connection could not be ruled out.
One large problem is we are looking at symptoms and not just one disease like tuberculosis, strep throat and the like.
It seems to be more like deafness. There are many reasons someone might be deaf but we don’t call it deafness spectrum disorder.
Vaccines became a sacred cow- all problems were dismissed because the medical establishment would be discredited otherwise. Wagons were circled and science perverted. The result was the disastrous covid vaccine which discredited everyone anyway. Totally foreseeable and preventable.
I will have confidence in these declarations when people start going to jail!
“… declining vaccination rates in parts of the United States where parents have been falsely persuaded that such shots do more harm than good.”
No, you liars. It has to do with the kids of illegal aliens.
Also, a couple of kids in Maryland died of the flu. What about them?
All too true. Even reading deep into the medical literature, one finds little study of those relative few experience vaccine injury. My guess is that nutrition has much to do with it, so the insights of a disfavored field of medical science are declined lest they generate help for people whose injuries the medical establishment is determined to ignore.
