The CDC's Controversial Change: Unpacking the Vaccine-Autism Debate
In November 2025, the CDC updated its vaccine safety page, changing a key statement about vaccines and autism. Previously, it stated there is no link between vaccines and autism, but now it says the claim that vaccines do not cause autism is not evidence-based. This shift has sparked outrage among scientists, physicians, and public health workers, who cite nearly 25 years of evidence proving the safety of vaccines. This episode dives deep into what has changed, why no new data was presented, and the impact of this change on public perception and healthcare policy. It also reviews the history and benefits of vaccines, debunks the origins of the vaccine-autism myth, and emphasizes the importance of clear and consistent communication in public health. Join Dr. Kulmeet Kundlas as he advocates for keeping science public, compassion visible, and misinformation at bay.
