CDC Faces Backlash Over Vaccine-Autism Link Revisions
The CDC has sparked controversy following recent changes to its website that suggest a possible link between vaccines and autism, a position that contradicts decades of established scientific consensus. Critics, including health experts and former officials, have denounced the move, claiming it perpetuates harmful misinformation. RFK Jr. has claimed responsibility for directing these changes, aligning the agency with his anti-vaccine views. As public health advocates express their outrage over the reversal, many are calling for urgent reforms within the CDC to restore trust in its communications.
