KTLA-TV in Los Angeles interviewed Dr. Anne Rimoin, professor in the UCLA Fielding School’s Department of Epidemiology and Gordon-Levin Endowed Chair in Infectious Diseases and Public Health, was interviewed about the lack of any research that shows a connection between vaccines and autism.
“The CDC’s website has said, very clearly, for a very long time, that studies have shown no link between vaccines and autism, (but) the website was recently updated and now it has a statement that ‘vaccines do not cause autism is not evidence-based because studies have not ruled out every possible scenario,’ essentially,” Rimoin said. “This has been studied for a very long time, more than 40 studies, more than 5.8 million children studied globally, and all these studies, collectively, have been pretty clear: there’s been no increase in the incidence of autism in vaccinated children vs. unvaccinated children.“
