The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) intends to conduct a study on the potential link between vaccines and autism, Reuters reports. BREAKING: CDC will study link between vaccines and autism. Plan on mainstream press meltdowns due to what this would do to the bottom lines of their biggest customers – big pharma. @catsscareme2021 @unhealthytruth @sayerjigmi @HealthRanger @realdefender45 pic.twitter.com/IRq8uaUxA0 — Tom Renz (@RenzTom) March 7, 2025 Per Reuters: U.S. Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr, 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. Last weekend Kennedy published an opinion piece on Fox News that promoted the role of vaccination, but also told parents vaccination was a personal choice and urged them to consult with their physician. It is unclear whether Kennedy is involved in the planned CDC study or how it would be carried out. He did not respond to a request for comment. HHS and CDC cited what they described as skyrocketing autism rates in a joint statement on Friday. “CDC will leave no stone unturned in its mission to figure out what exactly is happening,” the statement said. “The American people expect high quality research and transparency and that is what CDC is delivering.” There is an immense amount of distrust that the CDC will provide honest results in any such study regarding vaccines and autism. Never forget. The last time the CDC conducted a study that found that vaccines correlated with increased autism rates, they trashed half the data to change the results Lying with statistics 101 pic.twitter.com/ipm77mhAKy — jay (@SpkJayIII) March 8, 2025 The CDC covered up its own data that the MMR vaccine causes autism, documented in this film about that coverup:https://t.co/6StSc2b1jh — Larry Cook (@stopvaccinating) February 28, 2025 Reality Check: CDC Scientist Admits Data of Vaccines and Autism Was Trashed https://t.co/HjG2dw2kUD pic.twitter.com/nfXaqF4gc5 — Ben Swann (@BenSwann_) October 30, 2015 WATCH: MMR and Autism How CDC Erased Data In order to hide the damning data showing the MMR vaccine’s link to autism, @CDCgov removed over a thousand children from the study.

None has found any evidence to suggest that vaccines increase the risk of autism or other neurodevelopmental disorders. “As President Trump said in his Joint Address to Congress, the rate of autism in American children has skyrocketed,” HHS spokesman Andrew Nixon said in an emailed statement late Friday. “CDC will leave no stone unturned in its mission to figure out what exactly is happening. The American people expect high quality research and transparency and that is what CDC is delivering.” Through the Vaccine Safety Datalink, the CDC collaborates with 13 healthcare organizations across the US, including 11 that provide electronic health record data and two that provide expertise. A source within the CDC spoke with CNN on the condition of anonymity because they weren’t authorized to share information. Researchers in other settings, including other countries, have studied this question, too. “Decades of research have shown no link between vaccines and autism, including CDC studies using very large data systems, like the Vaccine Safety Datalink,” said Dr. Buddy Creech, a pediatric infectious disease specialist at Vanderbilt University. Advocates for people with autism said the announcement was concerning. “Even just the notion that the government needs to study this is harmful,” said Alison Singer, president of the Autism Science Foundation, which maintains a list of studies on vaccines and autism. “It will plant seeds of fear, particularly for new parents who may not be aware of the history of research on this,” she said. “Parents will withhold vaccines, and children will die.” Singer said the government would be dedicating resources to the issue at a time when critically needed autism research is being cut all across health agencies.

Columbia's Administration is Scrambling but Leftist Students Still Don't Get It

The New York Times can’t seem to make up its mind on the First Amendment. Here is the Times promoting censorious Andrew Marantz on the subject of free speech in 2019:  Free Speech Is Killing Us Noxious language online is causing real-world violence. What can we do about it? Got it? Free speech was a problem for the Times in 2019. But now? Here’s this Times headline from just this month of March, 2025:  ‘People Are Going Silent’: Fearing Retribution, Trump Critics Muzzle Themselves People say they are intimidated by online attacks from the president, concerned about harm to their businesses or worried about the safety of their families. This Times story proclaims:  More than six weeks into the second Trump administration, there is a chill spreading over political debate in Washington and beyond. Got that? In 2019 The Times was alarmed, spreading the notion that “Free Speech Is Killing Us.” Now there was a reason to elect Joe Biden and get that threatening Trump guy dictator out of the White House and silence his minions. Now, a mere six years later in 2025, The Times frets that “People Are Going Silent” because - wouldn’t you know - that nasty Trump guy is back in the White House and his minions are intimidating Americans into silence. What a difference six years makes!  The real problem here is that the American Left hates dissent from whatever is the hot topic on the left wing agenda of the moment. As if to underline the point, one story after another has leaked recently on the ongoing turmoil at The Washington Post because - OMG! - owner Jeff Bezos wants more conservatives on the Op-Ed pages. This daring, ohhhhh so terrible idea has resulted in headline after headline, beginning with the news in 2024 that Bezos would not have the Post endorse Kamala Harris for president, choosing silence on the issue with no endorsement of either Harris or candidate Trump. This resulted in headlines like this one from CNN:  The Washington Post is in deep turmoil as Bezos remains silent on non-endorsement Once 2024 was in the history books and 2025 had dawned, the “turmoil” stories out of the Post kept coming. Why? Because publisher Bezos had the horrific idea to publish some conservative opinion on the Post Op-Ed pages. Leading to headlines like this one from the Times:  Bezos Orders Washington Post Opinion Section to Embrace ‘Personal Liberties and Free Markets’ David Shipley, The Post’s opinion editor, is resigning after trying to persuade Jeff Bezos to reconsider the new direction.  One could go on and on with similar headlines. The central point is clear: The American Left despises free speech and wants to silence it, whether in the Washington Post or anywhere else where disagreement over an issue that is a favorite of the Left surfaces. We'll have to see if the Bezos order is actually followed. Last year, the Post didn't formally endorse Kamala, but the editorial board kept slamming Trump as the worst possible choice, so there was no doubt where they stood.  Move away from journalism in Washington and head north to New York City. There, on the leftist-filled campuses of Columbia and Barnard universities, one headline after another tells the tale of leftist pro-Palestinian students trying to shut down the free speech of pro-Israel students. Examples: From the Times of Israel:  Barnard College expels 2 students who disrupted Israel history class last month Anti-Israel student coalition at US institution shares footage of activists interrupting class, saying course ‘legitimizes the Zionist entity’; Hillel president praises expulsion TIME magazine: Investigations at Columbia University Clash with Concerns about Free Speech on Campus  The list of these stories are endless, filling the Internet. But the theme is always - always, always, always - the same: The Left will passionately defend the free speech of "pro-Palestinian" actors even as they suppress the free speech of their opponents.  It could be leftists inside The Washington Post. It could be leftists at prestigious American universities. Heaven knows the arena where this obsession with suppressing a dissenting (conservative?) point of view will surface. But at this point, make no mistake. Surface it will. And the answer to this anti-free speech mania from the Left, whether inside a major American newspaper, an Ivy League university or anywhere else, is for believers in free speech to stand up and speak out. Being quiet is not an option.
