CDC Plans Large Study On Long-Debunked Connection Between Vaccines And Autism, Report Says
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention—which falls under the purview of Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.—is planning to study potential connections between vaccines and autism, Reuters reported Friday, a link Kennedy has controversially pushed in the past.Kennedy’s stance that vaccines may cause autism, along with his other stances on the safety of various vaccinations, has been slammed by health experts and organizations who argue he is spreading long-discredited theories. Kennedy was among the most well-known public figures spreading the theory for years: In 2005, he published a later-retracted article claiming a preservative used to prevent vaccine vial contamination was tied to childhood neurological disorders—a theory that CDC experts have long rejected.
