CDC Intends to Fund Investigation Into Vaccines and Autism

The CDC intends to fund a study by Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute to investigate the possible link between vaccines and autism. This comes despite the fact that the alleged connection between vaccines and autism has been thoroughly debunked by numerous scientific studies. The decision to fund this research has drawn criticism, as it could lend credibility to a discredited theory. The study will be led by Robert F. Kennedy Jr., a prominent advocate for the vaccine-autism link, who has argued that the issue deserves further investigation. However, the broader scientific consensus remains that vaccines are safe and effective, and do not cause autism. The CDC's decision to fund this study has sparked concerns that it could undermine public confidence in vaccination programs and contribute to the spread of misinformation.
