肯尼迪卫生部长命令疾病控制中心改变疫苗自闭症指导, Health Secretary Kennedy ordered CDC to change vaccine-autism guidance, sparking backlash over scientific accuracy.

卫生部长罗伯特·肯尼迪(Robert F. Kennedy Jr.)说,他亲自指示疾病防治中心修订其有关疫苗和自闭症的网站指南,消除疫苗不引起自闭症的长期主张。 Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said he personally directed the CDC to revise its website guidance on vaccines and autism, removing the longstanding assertion that vaccines do not cause autism. 更新的文字指出,索赔没有证据支持,因为不能排除可能的联系,这一变化与几十年的科学共识相矛盾。 The updated language states the claim is not supported by evidence because it cannot rule out a possible link, a change that contradicts decades of scientific consensus. 这一举动引起了公共卫生专家的广泛批评,它遵循肯尼迪提倡疫苗怀疑主义的历史。 The move, which has drawn widespread criticism from public health experts, follows Kennedy’s history of promoting vaccine skepticism. 疾控中心尚未确认他在更新中所起的作用,官员认为疫苗安全是以严格的科学审查为基础的。 The CDC has not confirmed his role in the update, and officials maintain that vaccine safety is based on rigorous scientific review. 这一变化引起了人们对政治领导人对基于科学的公共健康信息的影响的关切。 The change has raised concerns about the influence of political leadership on science-based public health messaging.
