Robert F. Kennedy Jr. personally ordered the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to change its stance on a possible relationship between autism and vaccines, he said in an interview Friday, prompting the agency to remove language that said vaccines do not cause autism.
Kennedy told The New York Times he instructed the agency to remove language on its website stating vaccines do not cause autism, arguing in the interview that there is not enough science proving there is no link.
The website 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.”
