The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has altered its website. The agency removed a sentence that previously denied any connection between vaccines and autism.
The website's updated language now reflects skepticism voiced by Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. It no longer rejects a potential link, instead echoing his doubts about the previous scientific conclusion. This change represents a notable shift in the public health agency's communication on the subject.
The scientific consensus, supported by numerous major studies, has consistently found no evidence linking vaccines to autism. The CDC has not provided a reason for the website's modification.
