March 7 - 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.

It is unclear whether U.S. Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr, who has long promoted anti-vaccine views, is involved in the planned CDC study or how it would be carried out. The CDC and the Department of Health and Human Services were not immediately available for comment.

The CDC's move comes amid one of the largest measles outbreaks the U.S. has seen in the past decade, with more than 200 cases and two deaths in Texas and New Mexico. The outbreak has been fueled by declining vaccination rates in parts of the United States where parents have been falsely persuaded that such shots do more harm than good.

Kennedy, whose role includes authority over the CDC, has long sowed doubt over the safety of the combined vaccine for measles, mumps and rubella (MMR). In a cabinet meeting last week, Kennedy initially downplayed news that a school-aged child had died of measles in Texas, the first such death in a decade, calling such outbreaks ordinary and failing to mention the role of vaccination to prevent measles.

1. I'll save you the trouble: IT'S A COLOSSAL WASTE OF TIME AND MONEY, YOU DUMB FUCKS!!!!

This shit has already been disproven like 100,000 times. And it was also proven to be coming from guess where? Russia! But you assholes keep bending over and saying "thank you sir, may I have another???". Just... ARGH!!!

6. Seriously

This has been studied many times. What a waste of time and money. I hope my Measles vaccine from 50 years ago is still good.

9. I never think anything is black or white

Can you post a few studies.

11. Well before the CDC was taken over by crazy morons there was this:

https://www.cdc.gov/vaccine-safety/about/autism.html
Better check it out before it's deleted. Really, if you have doubts, you can research it by searching for Vaccines and Autism. You don't have to take anyone's word for it. Just remember this much - the youtube video Plandemic was based on faulty research by Judy Mikovitz who's husband died during covid - I would guess because he wasn't vaccinated.

2. By all means,

waste our taxpayer dollars on this.

3. Florida's anti-vaxxer Surgeon General and UF Medical School professor, Dr. Joseph Ladapo, MD, will conduct the study.

4. Will MAGA scientists falsify data?

In China, scientists are only allowed to research acceptable topics
and publish findings that the Chinese govt approves of.

12. That's what I'm wondering

Though the words MAGA and science are two words that don't belong together.

[Irish_Dem]

13. In China, scientists cannot publish the truth if the govt doesn't like the data.

If you speak out, you disappear or become the lab janitor.

Right MAGA and scientist don't go together.

But we can see that many professionals have prostituted themselves.

8. They already have the results. They are just making an attempt at appeasing some by having a study.
