But let’s start from an objective baseline. The old CDC Guidelines would have a baby get 21 vaccines by six months of age.

A Centers for Disease Control and Prevention webpage that previously made the case that vaccines don’t cause autism now says they might.
The contents of the webpage came up during Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Senate confirmation process. Sen. Bill Cassidy (R., La.) in February said Kennedy had assured him that, if he was confirmed, the CDC would “not remove statements on their website pointing out that vaccines do not cause autism.”
The revised webpage says: “The claim ‘vaccines do not cause autism’ is not an evidence-based claim because studies have not ruled out the possibility that infant vaccines cause autism. Studies supporting a link have been ignored by health authorities.”
The new text posted Wednesday also notes that the Department of Health and Human Services has launched “a comprehensive assessment” to probe the causes of autism.
Some CDC staffers said employees were blindsided by the move, and that leadership overseeing the agency’s birth defects and vaccine work didn’t review or know about the changes before they posted.
The webpage had been a focal point for both vaccine skeptics, who criticized its earlier language, and public health advocates, who wondered how far Kennedy would go to change federal agencies’ language around vaccines.
The page previously said: “Studies have shown that there is no link between receiving vaccines and developing autism,” citing a 2012 National Academy of Medicine review of scientific papers and a 2013 CDC study.
The new webpage says the CDC’s previous assurances on vaccines and autism violated the Data Quality Act. It suggests aluminum adjuvants could be behind the rise in autism cases. “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 new page reads.

KEY POINTS
The claim "vaccines do not cause autism" is not an evidence-based claim because studies have not ruled out the possibility that infant vaccines cause autism.
Studies supporting a link have been ignored by health authorities.
HHS has launched a comprehensive assessment of the causes of autism, including investigations on plausible biologic mechanisms and potential causal links.
I thought they had decided it was the Tylenol?
You know it’s a Big Deal when the MSM has a cow over something…and their headlines strangely are identical:

A bit of both perhaps.
This caution for young babies does not apply to adults. Get the latest COVID shot and your 2025 flu shot!
Worried about aluminum? At this time of year, beer in those aluminum cans, sitting on the back deck, make for a refreshing drink. Just don’t drink and drive.
I’m not a conspiracy theorist...but, there are no such things as coincidences.
But let’s start from an objective baseline. The old CDC Guidelines would have a baby get 21 vaccines by six months of age.
“I thought they had decided it was the Tylenol?”
The science has always pointed to vaccines.
And I thought it was decided that Circumcision ‘caused’ autism. I don’t necessarily believe all that I hear in the news, no matter who the president is.
Sometimes, science makes mistakes.
Such ‘mistakes’ may not be realized as such until several years have gone by.
The WSJ got it right. They reported the facts.
The others “news” sites are brazenly one-sided. And evince collusion.

safe AND effective
The autism may be confused with general retardation which was caused by the vaccines which were killing brain cells. Sometimes a baby will have a defect on a gene and will not be able to cope with 6 vaccines at 6 hours after birth. The immune system will be overwhelmed. 1 vaccine at 3 months and then 1 vaccine every 3 months later and the baby may be a healthy person. Lots of Tylenol at birth may cause autism. If the medical establishment wants to trim the foreskin, they can wait till 6 months and then give some other pain medicine.
Parents would have to have good health care insurance for all those vaccines. Given the flow of migrants from other countries, I myself, am worried—very worried.
1986 it was 5 shots
2025 it is 32 shots

You know that in our early days, if we had the science of immunology we have today, we would have benefited from the vaccines we have today. An example of such protection is peanut butter. There is no way to guarantee a child will not have a peanut allergy, but introducing peanut products early, between 4 and 6 months of age, can significantly reduce the risk. So, add peanut butter to the long list of “vaccines.”
