The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has significantly altered the vaccine safety section of its website, aligning with Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s view that childhood vaccines may cause autism. This change contradicts decades of scientific evidence affirming vaccine safety and has been met with strong criticism from public health experts.

• The CDC's website now states, "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."
• Dr. Demetre Daskalakis, former head of the CDC's National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases, called the changes a "public health emergency," instructing, "DO NOT TRUST THIS AGENCY."
• The World Health Organization and other health agencies worldwide continue to reiterate that extensive evidence proves vaccines do not cause autism.
