Health Secretary Kennedy ordered CDC to change vaccine-autism guidance, sparking backlash over scientific accuracy.
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.
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.
The move, which has drawn widespread criticism from public health experts, follows Kennedy’s history of promoting vaccine skepticism.
The CDC has not confirmed his role in the update, and officials maintain that vaccine safety is based on rigorous scientific review.
The change has raised concerns about the influence of political leadership on science-based public health messaging.
