  • The US Department of Health and Human Services asked the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to study vaccines and autism, a person familiar with the situation told CNN, despite strong evidence that vaccines do not cause autism.

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) reportedly requested that the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) investigate a potential link between vaccines and autism, despite extensive scientific evidence indicating no such connection. This request comes in the wake of a measles outbreak in Columbus, Ohio, which has been linked to vaccine hesitancy. Critics argue that revisiting this issue could fuel misinformation and undermine public trust in vaccine safety. The CDC has not confirmed the study but has emphasized that its priority remains addressing vaccine hesitancy and misinformation. This move by HHS has raised concerns among public health experts who fear it might validate unfounded fears about vaccine safety, potentially leading to lower vaccination rates and increased outbreaks of preventable diseases.
