CDC Says Vaccines May Cause Autism

‘The claim “vaccines do not cause autism” is not an evidence-based claim,’ the public health agency said on Nov. 19.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention now says that it’s possible vaccines cause autism, in a reversal of its previous stance.

“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,” the CDC said in a Nov. 19 update to its website. “Studies supporting a link have been ignored by health authorities.”
