ICAN - Informed Consent Action Network

🚨BREAKING: @ICANdecide sent a letter to Secretary Kennedy last week urging him to revise the ACIP charter. Within days, he did. Here is what changed: 🔥The membership criteria have been expanded beyond the vaccinologists and epidemiologists who have long dominated the committee, opening seats to experts in toxicology, data science, pediatric neurodevelopment, and vaccine injury. 🔥The word "safety" now appears ten times in the charter. It appeared three times before. The word "risks" appears five times. It appeared zero times before. The new language requires ACIP to evaluate risk/benefit profiles, consider cumulative effects of vaccines and their components, and conduct re-analysis as new safety data becomes available. 🔥New liaison representatives have been added to the committee, including the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons (AAPS), Independent Medical Alliance (formerly FLCCC), MAPS, and Physicians for Informed Consent, bringing pro-safety, informed consent voices into a room that has never had them. 🚨None of this happens without the people who show up, stay informed, and keep supporting this work. This is what winning looks like. Full legal update linked below 👇 bit.ly/RevisedACIPCha…

🚨 BOMBSHELL: CDC NOW ADMITS SCIENCE LACKING BEHIND CLAIM 'VACCINES DO NOT CAUSE AUTISM' This is the culmination of more than 6 years of work for @icandecide, which sued the CDC in 2020 to remove the unscientific claim from its website. This represents vindication for the 40-70% of Autism Parents in America who have been marginalized because of that unsupported claim. Now the website admits: "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." "Studies supporting a link have been ignored by health authorities." "Scientific studies have not ruled out the possibility that infant vaccines contribute to the development of autism. However, this statement has historically been disseminated by the CDC and other federal health agencies within HHS to prevent vaccine hesitancy." "Multiple reports from HHS and the National Academy of Sciences ... have consistently concluded that there are still no studies that support the specific claim that the infant vaccines, DTaP, HepB, Hib, IPV, and PCV, do not cause autism and hence the CDC was in violation of the Data Quality Act when it claimed, 'vaccines do not cause autism.' CDC is now correcting the statement, and HHS is providing appropriate funding and support for studies related to infant vaccines and autism." "Of note, the 2014 Agency for Health Research and Quality review also addressed the HepB vaccine and autism. One cross-sectional study met criteria for reliability; it found a threefold risk of parental report of autism among newborns receiving a HepB vaccine in the first month of life compared to those who did not receive this vaccine or did so after the first month." "In fact, there are still no studies that support the claim that any of the 20 doses of the seven infant vaccines recommended for American children before the first year of life do not cause autism. These vaccines include DTaP, HepB, Hib, IPV, PCV, rotavirus, and influenza." As for the MMR vaccine, CDC's website now says: "In 2012, the IOM reviewed the published MMR-autism studies and found that all but four of them had 'serious methodological limitations,' and the IOM gave them no weight. The remaining four studies and a few similar studies published since also have all been criticized for serious methodological flaws. Furthermore, they are all retrospective epidemiological studies which cannot prove causation, fail to account for potential vulnerable subgroups, and fail to account for mechanistic and other evidence linking vaccines with autism."
