The National Medical Association (NMA) is deeply concerned by reports suggesting the CDC has shifted its stance on a debunked link between vaccines and autism. The science is clear: no credible evidence shows that vaccines cause autism, and decades of rigorous global research affirm the safety and effectiveness of childhood immunizations.
Families deserve accurate information, not misinterpretations that could put children at risk of serious infectious diseases.
