California affirms vaccine advice after US govt autism change
The West Coast Health Alliance rejects CDC's revised autism-vaccine language, citing decades of research showing no link and pushing for consistent immunization guidance.
- On Tuesday, the West Coast Health Alliance said parents should continue immunizations, directly contradicting recent CDC website edits altering prior evidence-based language.
- The West Coast Health Alliance formed in September to counter perceived shifts in federal messaging and to safeguard scientific expertise by aligning immunization recommendations across the four states.
- Experts reacted after the website edits last week, noting career scientists and public-health figures met them with anger and fear while the alliance cited rigorous research of millions of people disproving vaccine links to autism.
- The alliance said it was `deeply concerned` about an anti-science mood overtaking the CDC under Health Secretary Robert Kennedy, linking him to dubious claims and the MAHA movement tied to President Donald Trump's MAGA coalition.
- Autism is a complex neurodevelopmental condition, and the CDC's new language said authorities `ignored` research while the US health department launched a comprehensive assessment.
