CDC website changes to vaccines information disputed by health experts

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention changed its website to indicate falsely a link may exist between vaccines and autism, disputed by physicians and scientists who maintain Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is harming the agency’s credibility for providing unbiased scientific evidence. They fear Kennedy is initiating a broader attack on childhood vaccination. He has sharpened his criticism of aluminum vaccine components used in many shots ahead of a Dec. 4 meeting of a CDC advisory committee that oversees vaccine protocols. The committee may vote on altering the hepatitis B vaccine schedule for infants, even though the vaccine is credited with saving tens of thousands of lives since physicians started administering it at birth.
