The CDC website was quietly edited last night to claim there’s “no evidence” that vaccines don’t cause autism.

This is false.

But this is damaging, even beyond people’s confidence in vaccines.

For the first time in my career, I cannot tell people to trust what the CDC website without hesitation.

The U.S. government shutdown lasted 43 days – longer than any previous shutdown in history. An economist breaks down the economic toll: $7 billion to $14 billion in lost GDP, plummeting consumer confidence and eroded international trust in American economic leadership. buff.ly/coc2dec
The shutdown has ended – but this economist isn’t rejoicing quite yet
Billions of dollars have likely been wiped off the US gross domestic product.
