Senator Elizabeth Warren - in trying to make a dig at Senator Rand Paul for his remarks about vaccines causing “profound mental disorders” - ended up making a top Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) official lie to Congress. Dr. Anne Schuchat, director of CDC’s National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases, lied about vaccine dangers when cross-examined by Senator Warren. The false testimony was made in a hearing held on February 10th, 2015 by the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions (HELP) Committee, which has a history whitewashing CDC’s research misconduct.
Senator Warren asked Schuchat, “Is there any scientific evidence that vaccines cause autism?”
