flag Health Secretary Kennedy ordered CDC to change vaccine-autism guidance, sparking backlash over scientific accuracy.

flag Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said he personally directed the CDC to revise its website guidance on vaccines and autism, removing the longstanding assertion that vaccines do not cause autism. flag The updated language states the claim is not supported by evidence because it cannot rule out a possible link, a change that contradicts decades of scientific consensus. flag The move, which has drawn widespread criticism from public health experts, follows Kennedy’s history of promoting vaccine skepticism. flag The CDC has not confirmed his role in the update, and officials maintain that vaccine safety is based on rigorous scientific review. flag The change has raised concerns about the influence of political leadership on science-based public health messaging.
