From the NYT:
RFK Jr. said in an interview that he personally instructed the CDC to abandon its longstanding position that vaccines do not cause autism.
All evidence and vaccine experts be damned.
He said he is not saying vaccines cause autism; he is simply saying there is no proof that they don’t.
Dr. Arthur Caplan, who directs the medical ethics division at NYU, once wryly noted, “You can’t prove that Coca-Cola doesn’t cause autism either.”

Three former high-ranking officials at the CDC write:
"This is not science. It is propaganda.
When you remove scientists from science, you don’t get truth. You get ideology. The secretary’s apparent aim is not to clarify evidence but to manufacture doubt and hand opportunists a govt-branded document they can use to prey on anxious parents.
Career staff have told us that no scientific offices — or their leadership — were asked to review or clear the new content."

Autism Science Foundation:
'We are appalled to find that the content on the CDC webpage “Autism and Vaccines” has been changed and distorted, and is now filled with anti-vaccine rhetoric and outright lies about vaccines and autism. The CDC’s previous science and evidence-based website has been replaced with misinformation and now actually contradicts the best available science.”'
