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.”'

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.”
