NBC attacked President Trump and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. for suggesting further studies into the possible connection between vaccines and autism.
NBC’s argument? “Hundreds of studies” have already “debunked” the link.
But according to legal expert and vaccine safety advocate Aaron Siri, those studies don’t exist.
Parents have long voiced concerns about vaccines like DTaP, Hep B, and PCV13—each injected three times before a baby is six months old—being linked to autism.
Yet, after decades of government promises and billions spent on vaccine research, federal health authorities still have not produced a single study to prove these vaccines don’t cause autism.
Mr. Siri outlines the troubling history of neglect on this issue:
1986: Congress passed the National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act, which tasked federal health authorities with investigating claims that the pertussis vaccine could cause autism. No credible studies were conducted.
1991: The Institute of Medicine reviewed the issue and found not one study examining whether the pertussis vaccine causes autism. The “science” was non-existent.
2012: A CDC-commissioned review expanded the scope to DTaP, tetanus, and diphtheria vaccines. The finding? Again, not a single study supported the claim that these vaccines don’t cause autism. One study suggesting a correlation was discarded due to its use of VAERS data.
2019: ICAN sued the CDC, demanding the studies it claimed supported its safety claims. The CDC named 20 studies—18 addressed unrelated vaccines or ingredients, and none proved evidence that these vaccines don’t cause autism.
Even more damning? Leading vaccinologists have admitted under oath that there is no scientific evidence to support the claim that vaccines given in the first six months of life don’t cause autism.
As Siri points out, if the vaccine-autism link is the most scrutinized issue, imagine how little science exists for the 100+ other harms parents believe are caused by vaccines—including immune-mediated disorders.
Why isn’t this front-page news? Because the legacy media, backed by Big Pharma’s ad dollars, doesn’t want the public to question vaccine safety.
NBC isn’t investigating the lack of studies—they’re silencing those who ask questions, who seek truth, who actually want to report real news!
Meanwhile, families are left to deal with the devastating consequences alone, while federal agencies and media conglomerates protect profits instead of pursuing the truth.
ICAN refuses to be silenced. We exist to ask the tough questions, expose the lies, and demand accountability from those in power.
With your help, we can continue exposing the gaps in vaccine safety science and holding Big Pharma, government agencies, and the media accountable for their negligence.
