We are appalled to find that the CDC’s “Autism and Vaccines” webpage has been changed and distorted, replacing science and evidence-based information with anti-vaccine rhetoric and outright lies. The new claim that “vaccines do not cause autism is not an evidence-based statement” shows a fundamental misunderstanding of the term “evidence.” The science is clear: vaccines do not cause autism.

Harmful myths suggesting that vaccines cause autism sow fear and distrust in vaccines, ultimately jeopardizing the great progress we’ve made in preventing serious childhood diseases. For decades, scientists have studied the potential causes of autism, and have repeatedly found no credible link between childhood vaccines and autism. Any effort to misrepresent sound, strong science poses a threat to the health of children and does a disservice to our autistic community.

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recently added misleading claims to its autism webpage. We want to be clear: decades of high-quality, large-scale studies show that vaccines do not cause autism. "Parents deserve peace of mind. Decades of rigorous research have shown vaccines do not cause autism," said Dr. Susan Kressly, president of the American Academy of Pediatrics. "Vaccines are one of the safest and most effective ways to protect children’s health and help them thrive."

The American Academy of Pediatrics stands with members of the autism community who have asked for support in stopping this rumor from spreading any further. Learn more: https://bit.ly/4rbx4FX

Our country’s websites cannot be trusted to provide true information any longer relating to vaccinations. Do not believe in the current HHS at all.

AAP President Dr. Susan J. Kressly responds to the recent changes on the CDC’s website - “The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention website has been changed to promote false information suggesting vaccines cause autism. Since 1998, independent researchers across seven countries have conducted more than 40 high-quality studies involving over 5.6 million people. The conclusion is clear and unambiguous: There’s no link between vaccines and autism. Anyone repeating this harmful myth is misinformed or intentionally trying to mislead parents.

We call on the CDC to stop wasting government resources to amplify false claims that sow doubt in one of the best tools we have to keep children healthy and thriving: routine immunizations. The American Academy of Pediatrics stands with members of the autism community who have asked for support in stopping this rumor from spreading any further."

Looks like I have recovered our professional FB page finally!!! We were hacked and then banned from FB for fraudulent activity that was “chld se3xual 3xploItatIon" from the postings by hackers after I started posting information about vaccinations and protecting our children from vaccine preventable illnesses. It has been a very long hard fight to get myself and then our page reinstated, unblocked and able to post to our families. It required multiple messages to FB, IG, Meta, plus official complaints to the BBB, Attorney Generals of VA and CA, Internet Crimes and more. More difficult than you can imagine. So I am not even using the correct spelling of their accusation because it may lead their bots to block me again. And I have not yet used their paid advertising to gain support for my group. I have however paid for their AI “security” for my personal pages as this was the only way to get to this point it seems via meta … Read into that as much as you want to…but ill move onto the more important things…

I’m so very happy to be back and able to provide information and updates for our Cornerstone Pediatrics Families. Please like, love, and keep us in your hearts that we are only providing good evidence based medicine and information and updates. 😄😁

To protect as many people as possible, AAP recommends that every newborn get the Hepatitis B vaccine as soon as they’re born. Why? Because if a mother has hepatitis B, she can pass it to her baby during birth... and many with hepatitis B don’t know they have it until they face serious liver problems later in life.

Often times, when adults are infected with hepatitis B, their immune system is able to overcome the virus so that it’s no longer a threat. But babies' immune systems aren’t as strong, so vaccinating newborns just after delivery allows their immune system to fight the infection quickly if exposed.

Learn more about the importance of the hepatitis B vaccine at birth from NBC News at the link below.
