The decision marks a return to a public health strategy that was abandoned more than three decades ago.

Asked why the newly-appointed committee moved quickly to reexamine the recommendation, committee member Vicky Pebsworth on Thursday cited "pressure from stakeholder groups wanting the policy to be revisited." She did not say who was pressuring the committee, and a spokesman for Kennedy did not respond to a question about it.

He's not supporting policy that grows out of science. He's supporting policy that grows out of prior convictions, most of which fail when subjected to the rigor of scientific analysis.

Thank you, stupid anti-vaxxers. May the pox be upon you. All these years of keeping public health safe goes down the drain due to idiots like you. Be ready to welcome back grieving, distressed parents, especially when MAGA are hell-bent upon sending medical costs sky-high.

Even in states with high MMR vaccine uptake, pockets of unvaccinated or under-vaccinated communities can lead to rapid spread.

For example, in Texas, 94.3% of kindergartners were up to date on their MMR vaccine for the 2023-24 school year, CDC data shows. However, in Gaines County -- the epicenter of this year's outbreak -- 17.6% of kindergartners were exempt from at least one vaccine during the 2023-24 school year, one of the highest exemption rates in the state, according to state health data.

"It's kind of like you have a very dry forest, so any spark that comes in can burn down the entire forest," Dr. Peter Chin-Hong, a professor of medicine and infectious diseases specialist at the University of California, San Francisco, told ABC News. "That's what's happening, which is fewer people being vaccinated, as evidenced by the drop in in people entering kindergarten."

He said one case of measles is like a spark that quickly turns into a blaze as it spread through an unvaccinated community "and that's why it's hard to put out the fire."

CDC Rewrites Vaccine-Autism Page, Echoing Kennedy’s Anti-Science Views

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has altered its webpage on vaccine safety and autism to reflect the false anti-vaccine talking points peddled by Department of Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. The new language contradicts decades of evidence-based research that has found zero link between childhood vaccinations and autism.

(Reuters) -The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention updated its website on Wednesday to say that claims about vaccines not causing ​autism are not "evidence-based."

Vaccine skeptic and U.S. Health and ‌Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as well as U.S. President Donald Trump have promoted ‌the theory - contrary to scientific evidence - that childhood vaccines are a cause of autism. But the CDC's website previously said "studies have shown there is no link between receiving vaccines and developing autism spectrum disorder."

Headlines say it all — CDC is promoting antiscience vaccine skepticism and can no longer be trusted — just like the rest of the government under this regime.

Racing backwards. Welcome to the new Dark Ages. 🙁

"Wall Street Journal: CDC Changes Webpage to Say Vaccines May Cause Autism, Revising Prior Language" 

"Reuters: US CDC says claims that vaccines do not cause autism are not evidence-based" 

"Washington Post: Under RFK Jr., CDC promotes false vaccine-autism link it once discredited"

A quotation from James Currie

We were not aware that there existed in the midst of our own Country, and in the present day, a spirit of fanaticism, so base, so wicked & so bloody, as to brake forth into a frenzy of unprovoked violence, not only against the most respectable characters, but against knowledge & science themselves.

James Currie (1756-1805) Scottish physician, biographer
Letter (1791-07) to Joseph Priestley for the Liverpool Dissenters (draft)
