Wow! Autism Speaks criticizes the CDC "declaring that the statement 'vaccines do not cause autism' lacks evidence." Says "these updates will pull attention, funding, and energy away from the research and supports the autism community urgently needs."

As the brother of an autistic American, as a person who worked on US scientific integrity policy at the White House, and as human being, I'm boiling at the RFK idiocy. And though I have little to offer beyond surpassing rage and national shame, I did smile at this statement from NYU's Arthur Caplan:

So much focus on the causes of autism, but has anyone seen/heard much from RFK Jr./HHS (even Dept. of Education) about resources devoted to improving services for people with autism, including children and their parents? I sure haven't.

ACIP voted 7-3 to NOT recommend MMRV combo vaccine for kids <4yo. Then in a confusing second vote (1 yes, 8 no, 3 abstentions - some citing confusion), they kept VFC coverage for the same vaccine they just said not to use.

💉🧵PSA 🚨 We don’t know for sure but are very worried RFKJ’s ACIP is about to restrict access to RSV monoclonal immunization for babies (nirsevimab and clesrovimab). If your baby is eligible, get them vaccinated asap. RSV season starts late Oct-early Nov. See below for immunization recommendation info

They want a COVID vaccine to protect their health or at-risk family. They can't get it. Many people still want them, to avoid illness and protect vulnerable family members. Some are turned down at the pharmacy or have to jump through hoops.

I just issued an executive order to safeguard vaccine access in Minnesota.
While the Trump Administration attempts to limit Americans’ access to preventative care, Minnesota will continue to be guided by science and the freedom to seek out medical expertise.

Kennedy has insisted covid shots are still easy to obtain, claiming that @hassan.senate.gov was “making things up to scare people.”
But The Post talked to people who are struggling to get the vaccine. Elaine Cox, a 68-year-old with lung disease, said she wept after being denied a prescription.

![In a combative appearance before the Senate Finance Committee on Thursday, Kennedy bristled when Sen. Maggie Hassan (D-New Hampshire) accused the Trump administration of taking steps that deny people vaccines.
"Everybody can get the vaccine. You're just making things up," Kennedy said. "You're making things up to scare people, and it's a lie."
In Virginia, Elaine Cox said she and her husband asked their doctor for a prescription before leaving Saturday for a vacation in Italy. The office declined because it hadn't received CDC guidance. Cox, 68, suffers from chronic lung disease, and her nephew died of the viral infection in 2022.
"I was crying this afternoon about this," she said on Thursday. "My family takes [covid] very seriously."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:6wwty6iar2ya7heph6d25cw3/bafkreicubujwawlbrb2fadzes7dsqupwbvejopcwwfyut7qji6aogbs2je@jpeg)

Today, I tried to get my COVID vaccine and was denied. Even after showing the pharmacist @govwesmoore.bsky.social 's statement that Maryland law says all Marylanders should have access to the COVID vaccine, I was still denied. They said they had to follow the box. This is RFK's fault. RFK must go.
