- CDC website updated to contradict the scientific consensus that vaccines do not cause autism.
- Change criticized by public health experts and autism advocates as spreading anti-vaccine misinformation.
- Scientific consensus and decades of research affirm no link between vaccines and autism.
- Update appears to align with views of HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., a known anti-vaccine activist.
- Former CDC officials express concern over the lack of scientific input in the website changes.
- HHS claims the update reflects 'gold standard, evidence-based science' but cites no new research.
- Senator Bill Cassidy had previously secured a commitment to keep the original language on the CDC website.
