*But the CDC Now Admits That’s a Political Slogan — Not an Evidence-Based Claim
On November 19, 2025, something historic happened.
For the first time in U.S. history, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) publicly admitted that their most aggressively defended vaccine slogan was never evidence-based.
Yes — the same slogan used to silence, shame, and humiliate parents for more than two decades:
“Vaccines don’t cause autism.”
Here’s the exact sentence the CDC placed on its website (and you should screenshot, save, and print it):
“The claim ‘vaccines do not cause autism’ is not an evidence-based claim because studies have not ruled out the possibility that infant vaccines cause autism.”
Read it for yourself on the CDC site:
👉 https://www.cdc.gov/vaccine-safety/about/autism.html
That’s not an interpretation.
That’s not a paraphrase.
That’s CDC’s own wording, in 2025.
And if that sentence doesn’t shake the medical and political establishment down to the rivets, this next part will.
The CDC Kept the Old “Vaccines Don’t Cause Autism*” Headline for a Political Reason — Not a Scientific One
Right beneath their admission that the slogan is not evidence-based, the CDC admits something even darker:
The reason that headline remains on the page is because of
“a political agreement with a U.S. Senator — who is also an MD.”
Not data.
Not peer-reviewed studies.
Not scientific certainty.
A political deal between the CDC and a physician-Senator.
A man with a white coat in one hand and legislative power in the other — dictating what the CDC is allowed to say to American parents.
That’s not public health.
That’s narrative management.
And it exposes the structure behind twenty years of medical gaslighting.
For Two Decades, Parents Were Mocked and Marginalized — While the CDC Knew They Didn’t Have the Evidence
I have known families since the early 2000s whose children suffered catastrophic regression after vaccination:
- sudden loss of language
- loss of eye contact
- explosive gut pain
- seizures
- inconsolable screaming
- development collapsing overnight
And when these families did the most human thing possible — described what they saw happen to their child — they were met with:
“You’re imagining it.”
“You don’t understand autism.”
“That’s been debunked.”
“Vaccines don’t cause autism.”
“Stop spreading misinformation.”
Parents were kicked out of practices, mocked, ridiculed, humiliated.
Meanwhile, the CDC knew they had no evidence-based foundation for the claim.
That is why this moment matters.
This isn’t a small update.
This isn’t “science evolving.”
This isn’t nuance.
This is a crack in a wall that has held back the truth for over twenty years.
And here’s why it happened now.
Why the Truth Finally Surfaced: The Enforcers Were Removed
This admission did not happen because the CDC suddenly “discovered” a new study.
It happened because:
- HHS leadership changed
- ACIP was fired
- New people were put in the room
- And the room no longer belonged to the people who built, protected, and enforced the old narrative
The moment individuals with integrity — not entangled with Pharma, not tasked with defending a 20-year slogan — stepped into those chairs, the truth could no longer be contained.
You remove the enforcers, and the truth comes up like a body in a lake.
That’s exactly what we’re witnessing.
Now enter Tony.
Tony’s Streetwise Breakdown of What Just Happened
Let’s cut the crap.
The CDC didn’t “revise” anything.
They got cornered.
You don’t publish a line like that because you feel reflective.
You publish it because the people who used to keep the lid on it aren’t there anymore.
And that asterisk next to “Vaccines Don’t Cause Autism”?
That’s the tell.
A political deal — with a U.S. Senator who also happens to be a doctor — kept that slogan nailed to the top of the page like a trophy from a war he didn’t win.
MD or not, some people use those letters like a crowbar.
Not to heal.
To hold a story in place.
Now here’s what matters:
You print the CDC page.
Every parent.
Every visit.
No exceptions.
Use this if you want it clean:
Walk into your well-visit.
Sit down.
Wait for the vaccine talk.
Then slide the page across the counter like a subpoena and say:
“Before we make decisions today, I want your explanation of why the CDC says this claim is not evidence-based and that studies have not ruled out infant vaccines causing autism.”
Then stop talking.
Let them squirm.
Let them explain.
Let them defend a slogan that their own authorities just detonated.
You’re not arguing.
You’re not pleading.
You’re not asking permission.
You’re flipping the power dynamic.
That’s how you walk in willing to walk out.
That’s how you keep control.
That’s how you protect your kid.
That’s antifragile.
If You Ever Felt Gaslit, Mocked, or Dismissed — You Deserve This Moment
For every parent who was called crazy…
For every mother who cried in her car after a doctor mocked her…
For every father who watched his child regress overnight and was told he was imagining it…
This is your vindication:
You were never crazy.
You were never alone.
And you were never wrong.
The truth didn’t change.
The people in charge did.
Print the CDC page.
Carry it with you.
Use it.
Let their own admission become the starting point for every conversation — not their slogans.
