Ask any federal health official—whether from the FDA, CDC, NIH, or National Cancer Institute—if vaccines contribute to neurological damage or autism, and their response will be unequivocal: No, there is no evidence of any association.
In fact, they might find the very question offensive.
After all, these agencies have access to unlimited resources, the brightest scientific minds, and cutting-edge research facilities at institutions like Harvard, Johns Hopkins, and Stanford.
If there were any credible link between vaccines and neurological harm, surely, they would have found it by now.
And yet, despite decades of investigation and countless opportunities, their stance remains unchanged: vaccines are safe and effective.
Any claim to the contrary is dismissed as conspiracy theory and an assault on the very foundations of modern medicine.
This has been the dominant narrative for the past forty years.
Federal health officials and policymakers have long prioritized private pharmaceutical industry interests and upheld the belief that vaccination is the single most important tool for eradicating infectious diseases.
Dissent is neither tolerated nor entertained. The agencies responsible for vaccine safety, such as HHS, FDA, NIAID and the CDC, are ruled by a rigid scientific orthodoxy that allows no room for alternative perspectives.
But now, for the first time in modern history, an outsider has entered the room.
Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the new head of the Department of Health and Human Services, is neither a scientist nor a physician.
Unlike his predecessors, he has no allegiance to the status quo.
His appointment signals a possible turning point to usher a new opportunity for a truly independent investigation into whether vaccines, either individually or collectively, contribute to neurological damage.
If pursued earnestly, this could be one of the most consequential moments in American medical history.
The stakes could not be higher.
Over the past few decades, childhood chronic illnesses have skyrocketed to unprecedented levels.
The rise in autism spectrum disorders (ASD), ADHD, autoimmune conditions, and other neurological and developmental disorders has been explained away as the result of better diagnostic tools or genetic predispositions.
But are these explanations sufficient?
