US EditionUS CDC to award research contract on vaccines and autism
- Federal health authorities plan to grant Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute a no-bid agreement to research a potential connection between vaccines and autism.
- This action follows the initiative launched in April by the federal health leader, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who has promoted extensive testing and investigation despite the scientific consensus rejecting a connection between vaccines and autism.
- RPI, an engineering school in Troy, New York, was selected for its unique ability to link maternal and child data, while critics question its special access and the study’s priority given two decades of research showing no credible association.
- Alycia Halladay from the Autism Science Foundation explained that for two decades, numerous extensive studies involving millions globally have consistently found no credible link between vaccines and autism.
- The contract may delay funding for other autism research areas like genetics and environmental factors, and RPI plans to publish its results at the project’s conclusion.
