The current #CDC page falsely says that studies supporting a link between #vaccines & #autism “have been ignored by health authorities.”

The revisions show that the “CDC cannot currently be trusted as a scientific voice,” said Demetre Daskalakis, who formerly led the agency’s center responsible for respiratory viruses & #immunizations.
