The CDC website has been lobotomized. Where it once presented the decades of evidence debunking the false claims of a link between vaccines and autism, that has now been replaced with junk science.

Beyond the false anti-vaccine talking points, beyond peddling Wakefield-level bullshit over MMR, telling pregnant women with a headache to “tough it out” instead of taking Tylenol or they’ll give their baby autism is something else. www.msnbc.com/top-stories/...
Trump, without any evidence, tries to link Tylenol and autism
A 2024 study in JAMA, in which researchers analyzed data from 2.5 million children in Sweden, found no association between prenatal acetaminophen use and autism.

ACOG reaffirms that acetaminophen is safe for managing pain and fever during pregnancy. No reputable studies support suggestions like those in HHS’s recent announcement linking acetaminophen use in pregnancy to autism; in fact, high-quality studies show no such risk. https://bit.ly/47Wxc59
