The AAP and more than 40 organizations representing autistic individuals, their families, medical professionals and public health workers, are alarmed that the CDC is promoting the outdated, disproven idea that vaccines cause autism.

Medical researchers across the globe have spent more than 25 years thoroughly studying this claim. All have come to the same conclusion: Vaccines are not linked to autism.

Together, we’re calling on the CDC to return to its long history of promoting evidence-based information to protect Americans’ health. Read the full statement: https://bit.ly/3XILwry

Harmful myths suggesting that vaccines cause autism sow fear and distrust in vaccines, ultimately jeopardizing the great progress we’ve made in preventing serious childhood diseases. For decades, scientists have studied the potential causes of autism, and have repeatedly found no credible link between childhood vaccines and autism. Any effort to misrepresent sound, strong science poses a threat to the health of children and does a disservice to our autistic community.

AAP President Dr. Susan J. Kressly responds to the recent changes on the CDC’s website - “The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention website has been changed to promote false information suggesting vaccines cause autism. Since 1998, independent researchers across seven countries have conducted more than 40 high-quality studies involving over 5.6 million people. The conclusion is clear and unambiguous: There’s no link between vaccines and autism. Anyone repeating this harmful myth is misinformed or intentionally trying to mislead parents.

We call on the CDC to stop wasting government resources to amplify false claims that sow doubt in one of the best tools we have to keep children healthy and thriving: routine immunizations. The American Academy of Pediatrics stands with members of the autism community who have asked for support in stopping this rumor from spreading any further."

Some good news on this Friday! We're thrilled that the state of Kansas today issued FULL benefit payments for SNAP recipients for November! The state took this action after a federal judge ruled yesterday that the federal government should issue full payments. We're still waiting to hear about Missouri, but hope we'll hear about those payments soon! We're grateful to everyone who has stepped up to help during this time. We still need support as federal employees are still out of work and the holidays are approaching for all.

Please don’t take the tubs that are sitting under the pediatric associate blessing box. If these continue to get taken, there will be less food and supplies available to choose from for the community. Thanks!
