Nov. 20 (UPI) -- The Centers for Disease Control on Wednesday published a webpage suggesting links exist between autism and vaccines, and that drew strong criticism from some health experts.
The revised CDC website says there is no evidence to show that vaccines do not cause autism and accuses "health authorities" of ignoring studies that suggest evidence of a link does exist.
"Scientific studies have not ruled out the possibility that infant vaccines contribute to the development of autism," the CDC said.
"However, this statement has historically been disseminated by the CDC and other federal health agencies within [the Department of Health and Human Services] to prevent vaccine hesitancy."
