Long past time that the agency that gave us COVID shots that worked as well as Biden’s brain, masks that had the efficiency of a Democrat-run city, and isolation rules that came close to ruining the country is worried. Eff them and the sewer they crawled out of. Those clowns make flat-earth advicates appear smart.

Our country operated fine for 200+ years without CDC.

The CDC shouldn’t even exist. They “create” statistics and not much more.

Dear MIKE STOBBE, AMANDA SEITZ and CHRIS MEGERIAN and ASSociated Presstitutes...

All the Thimerosal damaged autistic kids over the last few decades can thank ass kissers like you.

For your reeducation

Thimerosal, which is approximately 50% mercury by weight, has been one of the most widely used preservative in a number of biological and drug products, including many

vaccines,

RFK Jr. is rightfully going to stop you murderous grifters who by force of law turn children into poisoned pin cushions with your

vaccine schedules .

Big pharma profits is your goal, not kids health .

That is not true, and you know it. You are similar to the mainstream media, only a different viewpoint.

Don't leave the CDC "reeling".

Please, put it out of its misery for our sakes!

Operate on it deeply and cut out the metastasizing political cancer and grift machine into which it has morphed.

IIRC the key data point against the thimerosol in vaccines causing autism theory is the similar rates of autism in Europe. Where they removed the thimerosol decades ago. My off the wall theory for autism boom: car seats. Locking kids down from naturally bouncing around the back seat, fighting with siblings, and generally annoying parents warped their behavior. As the control, have the ‘free range,’ in car, family dogs gone autistic?

vaccines causing autism theo/

Stopped reading right there.

Shill someone else, not buying big pharma “ I am science” b.s. any more.there is plenty of data from the other side of the argument.

This is all about pre emptying RFK hrs. Autism investigation .

Sell your vac pharma stock now is my advise.

Better yet, don’t.

Med school reinforced my understanding that we don't don't know everything. Worse, some things we think we know aren't so. We need to periodically reexamine what we think we know. Actions of big government and its allies have made that need all the more clear. RFK Jr is doing the needed re-evaluations. If he is as able—and honest—as I hope, he'll show us some of what we thought was so was wrong. He'll also show himself some of what he thought was so was wrong. And some things which neither understood will remain unknown. We'll really know more. We won't become omniscient. It's statistically possible autism will end up amongst the "still not understood" category.

I'm fourth generation small medicine, back to when "progressive" equalled TR. I remember my grandfather warning against Medicare and Medicaid. Back when the AMA was still on his side. When I entered med school we had numerous small drug companies making multiple sources for most medicines, including the then available vaccines. "Medicine" and "Pharma" didn't always deserve the modifier "Big." They got it via the original "Big," Government, in multiple doses. Just as it took multiple doses of bad medicine to warp the Framers' vision of small government. The most recent big bad dose was Obamacare. Obama's final negotiation before voting through his mono-partisan monstrosity was a big pow-wow with then-Big Pharma. Just what was exchanged there I don't know, but I doubt much was good. Much needs to be undone, but there also is much worth keeping. "Science" properly defined and used is a good thing. Don't like the left's tendency to steal and warp language make you want to kill real science along with their fake.
