Without much fanfare, the CDC’s website underwent a dramatic and long overdue change this week. The federal health agency now admits that there is a likely link between vaccines and the autism epidemic. After reviewing all the scientific studies that claim to “debunk” the link, the agency decided that almost none of the studies meet the most basic standards for good science. And the studies that do meet the standards all found a significant risk of autism from vaccines.
So, there you have it. The medical community doesn’t know with certainty whether vaccines cause autism or not, and there’s been a lot of faulty science conducted on the issue for the past 40 years. Let’s check in and see how our truth-seeking, science-following mainstream media is reacting to this subtle change in the wording on the CDC’s website.
Actual headlines:
NPR: CDC revives debunked “link” between childhood vaccines and autism
CNN: CDC website changed to include false claims that link autism and vaccines
The Washington Post: CDC in turmoil after agency backpedals on rejecting vaccines-autism link
Axios: CDC just changed its website to promote RFK Jr.’s debunked vaccine-autism link
The Hill: Cassidy calls HHS change to vaccine-autism language “deeply troubling”
That last one would be Senator Bill Cassidy (R-LA), who has received over $1 million in campaign contributions from the pharmaceutical industry.
Instead of diving into the substance of the CDC’s changes, the media has once again transformed itself into a pack of poo-flinging chimpanzees who wouldn’t recognize “science” if it stepped into the shower with them.
So, here’s the substance.
For decades, the CDC has advised the public that there is absolutely no link whatsoever between the dozens of foreign substances (vaccines) that it recommends injecting into the undeveloped bodies of babies, and autism.
The CDC states that by claiming this link was non-existent, the agency violated federal law. It specifically violated the Data Quality Act, which requires that the CDC must have actual scientific proof of its claims before it makes them public.
After Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. was confirmed as Health and Human Services Secretary, he ordered a review of all the scientific studies the CDC and other agencies have conducted into vaccines and autism.
They couldn’t find a single study that had ever proven that the DTaP, HepB, Hib, IPV, and PCV infant vaccines do not cause autism. There is no shred of authentic scientific proof that vaccines do not cause autism. The CDC knew this internally, yet lied to the public for the past 40 years to prevent “vaccine hesitancy” among the population.
The CDC also notes that in 2014, the Agency for Health Research and Quality conducted a review of studies that purported to look into a link between the Hepatitis B vaccine and autism. That agency concluded there was no link between vaccines and autism. However, only one study that the agency looked at could make an authentic, scientifically proven claim one way or another.
And that study showed a 300% increased likelihood of a baby developing autism after being inoculated against a hobo sex disease (HepB).
According to the CDC’s newly amended website, “There are still no studies that support the claim that any of the 20 doses of the seven infant vaccines recommended for American children before the first year of life do not cause autism. These vaccines include DTaP, HepB, Hib, IPV, PCV, rotavirus, and influenza.”
Scientists have done studies that show a clear link between infant vaccines and autism. Unfortunately, those studies never seem to pass “peer review” by the medical journals that are held financially captive by the pharmaceutical companies. Many of the doctors who conducted the studies were stripped of their medical licenses and had their reputations and careers destroyed for the crime of conducting real science.
Back in the 1980s, the CDC approved and added vaccines for HepB, chickenpox (varicella), and Hib to the infant schedule. That was when the safety signal first originated. Some parents were noticing immediate changes in how their babies behaved and interacted with the world, right after a pediatric vaccine visit.
This isn’t “RFK Jr.’s debunked vaccine-autism link,” as Axios described it. This is a cry for help that millions of parents have been making for 40 years. The fake news media can screech the word “debunked” all it likes. This change has been a long time coming, and now we’ll finally start to get some good science conducted around this important question.
