    “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.” -CDC Update, November 19, 2025

    “Though the cause of autism is likely to be multi-factorial, the scientific foundation to rule out one potential contributor entirely has not been established,” the CDC said. “For example, one study found that aluminum adjuvants in vaccines had the highest statistical correlation with the rise in autism prevalence among numerous suspected environmental causes. Correlation does not prove causation, but it does merit further study.”

    Well, that’s a turn-out for the books. Especially since we have endured all the “I know best experts” telling us for years that the science around this was settled and asking questions or claiming a link made you anti-science.

    What are your thoughts ?

    Heres a link to the CDC website https://www.cdc.gov/vaccine-safety/about/autism.html

    We have known for many years that vaccines were at the top of the list for contributing to autism.

    Many mothers have reported healthy children becoming autistic within a short time after multiple vaccines given. There are two cases in my family. Both boys around 15-18 months old given multiple vaccines on a health check up. Both now autistic. The older one is non-verbal and the younger one is hyperactive. The doctors who gave these vaccines had no qualms about giving up to 9 vaccines in one visit! The mother feels so guilty but it was not her fault. She was following the doctor’s recommendation. So sad.

      What a sad family story … let’s hope the truth gets out to all moms quickly, and they start to ask questions.

    The background for this was established officially in 2021 by ICAN where they finally got the CDC to reveal what studies they were using to support their claim about the safety for childhood vaccination (babies specifically). As we know, they had no evidence…

      Yes, it’s certainly not an overnight decision.

    I am surprised that the CDC would admit that those two strongly suspected causes (vaccines and aluminum) of autism had NOT been ruled out by studies. Why would it go to the trouble to say that? The fact that those possible causes have not been ruled out suggests that they COULD be causes – something the CDC would normally not want to bring up in any discussion. I guess they said it, because it gave them the opportunity to say, disingenuously, “Correlation does not prove causation.”

    My thoughts: When you’re talking about giving asymptomatic, healthy kids a prophylactic drug targeted to reduce an extremely rare sickness the burden rests on those in favor of giving it to demonstrate safety. Without true double-blinded saline placebo trials safety is NOT demonstrated!
