  • The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is planning a large study into potential connections between vaccines and autism, two sources familiar with the matter told Reuters, despite extensive scientific research that has disproven or failed to find evidence of such links.

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is planning to conduct a study to investigate the potential link between vaccines and autism, according to sources cited by Reuters. This decision comes after years of public concern and debate over whether vaccines, particularly the measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccine, could be associated with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Despite numerous studies previously concluding no causal relationship, the CDC's new study aims to address ongoing skepticism and provide further evidence. The study will likely involve analyzing large datasets to look for any patterns or correlations between vaccination and autism diagnoses. This move is seen as an effort to reinforce public trust in vaccine safety and efficacy, especially in light of misinformation that has fueled vaccine hesitancy.
