The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has made a dramatic about-face in the agency's position on the relationship between vaccines and autism.
The CDC's website now says a link between vaccines and autism cannot be ruled out. That's a reversal from the CDC's longstanding stance that there is no link.
The change comes even though a connection between vaccines and autism has long been debunked by a large body of high-quality research. But Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has long promoted the discredited claim.

Video captures a lone female pulling crab traps out of the water, but does it count as tool use?In 2023, Haíɫzaqv Nation guardians—members of an Indigenous stewardship program that works to monitor and protect their territory—noticed something peculiar on the Central Coast of British Columbia. Their crab traps, some of which were submerged in deep water, showed signs of repeated damage. Soon after, footage from a remote camera captured a female wolf emerging from the water with a buoy in her mouth, expertly pulling the attached line to retrieve the trap. She then ate the tasty bait inside. The unexpected discovery could potentially represent the first known example of tool use in wild wolves, scientists report today in Ecology and Evolution.
“The behavior is really impressive,” says Bradley Smith, a comparative psychologist at Central Queensland University who has documented tool use in captive dingoes. The new study documents a type of cognitive sophistication “that we often reserve for primates, elephants, and crows,” he says. Whether it counts as tool use, however, ultimately depends on how that term is defined. | |
