The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is initiating a significant research project to explore any possible association between vaccinations and autism, according to sources. The involvement of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is currently unclear, but as Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary, he has the power to influence CDC priorities, including resource allocation.
Appointed by President Donald J. Trump, the former independent and Democratic presidential candidate has long expressed skepticism over vaccine safety, particularly the COVID-19 vaccines and the combined measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccine.
While Kennedy’s critics in Big Pharma and the political establishment claim there is “consensus” that autism and vaccinations are not linked. However, Kennedy argues, “Not one of the 72 vaccines that are now mandated for our children has ever been tested against a placebo for safety in a pre-licensure study, nor have they done the long-term studies—five years, ten years—to see what happens.”
SAFETY ISSUES.
Safety studies around vaccines are also lacking in other areas; for instance, alum—aluminum salts—has been used in most vaccines as an adjuvant, increasing the body’s immune response to inoculation, for close to 100 years, but a 2011 paper published in the Current Medical Chemistry journal notes that “medical science’s understanding about their mechanisms of action is still remarkably poor.”
Moreover, the paper’s authors note that “Experimental research… clearly shows that aluminum adjuvants have a potential to induce serious immunological disorders” and that “aluminum in adjuvant form carries a risk for autoimmunity, long-term brain inflammation and associated neurological complications.” […]
