Take Action! Support CDC's Vaccines and Autism Update

Dear John,


On November 19, 2025, the CDC made a long overdue but monumental change on its “Vaccines and Autism” webpage, finally acknowledging what parents and independent researchers have been saying for decades: the “vaccines do not cause autism” claim is not evidence-based “because studies have not ruled out the possibility that infant vaccines cause autism.” Further, the agency stated:


  • Studies supporting a link have been ignored by health authorities.
  • HHS has launched a comprehensive assessment of the causes of autism, including investigations on plausible biologic mechanisms and potential causal links.

The importance of this directional shift cannot be overstated. It signals the end of an era where parents who questioned the safety of the vaccine schedule were ridiculed and gaslit while scientists who suggested a potential link with declining health in our nation’s children were marginalized and threatened with loss of research funding.


It means we may finally see relevant research into causation and treatment for the millions of children suffering with one or more of the chronic conditions that have risen so dramatically over the past three decades: autism, ADHD, allergies, autoimmune diseases, and so many more.


It also means that now we have the potential to see the CDC become an agency of truth and transparency, one that finally prioritizes the health of our children over pharmaceutical profits.


As exciting as this news is to parents and others in the health freedom movement, it is a threat to those who profit from vaccines including not only the pharmaceutical industry but also the institutions and elected officials who benefit from the largesse of vaccine makers. 


There are more pharmaceutical lobbyists on Capitol Hill than there are members of the Senate and House of Representatives combined. Those lobbyists will be extremely busy pressuring Congress in the coming days, attempting to shut down the CDC’s new direction on vaccines which threatens the industry’s bottom line. 


We must act quickly to maintain the momentum now in place. 


Please add your voice and let your representatives on Capitol Hill know that you support the CDC’s shift to truth and transparency on behalf of the health of our children. 


In truth,


The Children’s Health Defense Team
