‘Honesty at Last’: CDC Says ‘No Evidence’ to Support Claim that Vaccines Don’t Cause Autism

The CDC revised its autism webpage to say there is no evidence supporting the blanket claim that vaccines do not cause autism, a major shift from past messaging. HHS told The Defender the changes “reflect gold standard, evidence-based science,” while CHD CEO Mary Holland said the website update shows “there never was science behind the claim that ‘vaccines do not cause autism.’”

After decades of claiming unequivocally that vaccines do not cause autism, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) on Wednesday updated its webpage on vaccines and autism to state that there is no evidence supporting the claim that vaccines don’t cause autism.

The webpage previously stated there is no link between vaccines and autism. It now says, “The claim ‘vaccines do not cause autism’ is not an evidence-based claim because studies have not ruled out the possibility that infant vaccines cause autism.”

… there is no evidence supporting the claim that vaccines don’t cause autism.

Can we start using the term ‘brain damage’, too? ‘Autism’ was always a linguistic sleight of hand.

This is a start to what honest science looks like

The new “Autism and Vaccines” page starts telling the truth, including:

“The claim ‘vaccines do not cause autism’ is not an evidence-based claim because studies have not ruled out the possibility that infant vaccines cause autism.”

“Studies supporting a link have been ignored by health authorities.”

“Scientific studies have not ruled out the possibility that infant vaccines contribute to the development of autism. However, this statement has historically been disseminated by the CDC and other federal health agencies within HHS to prevent vaccine hesitancy.”

Meaning, the CDC has simply been lying to you. The CDC’s website then continues its mea culpa stating:

“[M]ultiple reports from HHS and the National Academy of Sciences …. have consistently concluded that there are still no studies that support the specific claim that the infant vaccines, DTaP, HepB, Hib, IPV, and PCV, do not cause autism and hence the CDC was in violation of the DQA [Data Quality Act] when it claimed, ‘vaccines do not cause autism.’ CDC is now correcting the statement, and HHS is providing appropriate funding and support for studies related to infant vaccines and autism.”

“Of note, the 2014 AHRQ [Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality] review also addressed the HepB vaccine and autism. One cross-sectional study met criteria for reliability; it found a threefold risk of parental report of autism among newborns receiving a HepB vaccine in the first month of life compared to those who did not receive this vaccine or did so after the first month.”

“In fact, there are still no studies that support the claim that any of the 20 doses of the seven infant vaccines recommended for American children before the first year of life do not cause autism. These vaccines include DTaP, HepB, Hib, IPV, PCV, rotavirus, and influenza.”

As for the MMR vaccine, CDC’s website now says:

“[I]n 2012, the IOM reviewed the published MMR-autism studies and found that all but four of them had ‘serious methodological limitations,’ and the IOM gave them no weight. The remaining four studies and a few similar studies published since also have all been criticized for serious methodological flaws. Furthermore, they are all retrospective epidemiological studies which cannot prove causation, fail to account for potential vulnerable subgroups, and fail to account for mechanistic and other evidence linking vaccines with autism.”
