March 7, 2025 (Washington, D.C.) The Partnership to Fight Infectious Disease released the following statement Friday in response to reports of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s plan to study vaccines and autism:
“The scientific community has long and definitively established that vaccines do not cause autism. Rigorous, peer-reviewed research has confirmed this conclusion for decades, and re-opening this question only risks spreading confusion that threatens Americans’ health. Devoting resources to protecting communities from vaccine-preventable diseases – especially amid the ongoing measles outbreak – is far more urgent than revisiting a discredited claim that has already been exhaustively studied.
“Instead of diverting expert time and funding to reexamine settled science, we urge federal leaders to prioritize transparency and oversight in vaccine development and safety. This means rescheduling the CDC’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) meeting and ensuring the FDA’s Vaccines and Related Biological Products Advisory Committee meets as planned. Public trust in vaccines depends on clear, science-driven leadership without distractions that undermine confidence.”
