Unfucking believable as CDC is suddenly launching a study into exploring possible links with MMR and autism. I wonder who might have initiated this? 🤔 to be clear There is NO link and this has already been debunked in massive studies 🧪🧵
Exclusive: U.S. CDC plans study into vaccines and autism, sources say
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is planning a large study into potential connections between vaccines and autism, two sources familiar with the matter told Reuters, despite extensive scientific research that has disproven or failed to find evidence of such links.
