The country’s health secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. on Saturday directed the unprecedented leaders who founded the removal of a webpage that imitated the design of the centers of the disease control and prevention of the disease but presented a matter that caused the vaccine.
This page was apparently published on a site registered in the Children’s Health Defense, an anti -vaccine group. Mr Kennedy’s move took place after inquiring about the New York Times page and after reports of it on social media.
This page was taken offline Saturday evening.
The Health and Human Services Department said in a statement, “Secretary Kennedy has directed the General Council’s Office to formally demand the health of children who request to remove their website.”
“In HHS, we are dedicated to restoring our agencies to the tradition of maintaining gold quality, evidence -based science,” the statement said.
It was unclear why the anti -vaccine group published a page copying the CDC. The organization did not respond to the comments requests, and Mr Kennedy has said that when he launched his presidential campaign in 2023, he cut off his relations.
The fake vaccine safety page was not practically separated from the CDC on its own site. Setting, type phrases and logos were the same, perhaps in violation of federal copyright law.
Although the CDC’s own website denies the connection between vaccine and autism, the Impaster opened the possibility that there was one. At the bottom, it included links to parents’ video definition links that believe their children were harmed by vaccines.
The page post was first Reported on Subsk by e -Rosali LeeFounder of the Information Epidemiology Lab. The non -profit did not immediately respond to the request for comment.
Mr Kennedy has maintained for years that there is a link between vaccine and autism. He held this view during the Senate certification trial despite extensive research.
On his direction, the CDC recently announced plans to re-examine the evidence-the move that Louisiana’s Republican and Senate Health Committee chairman Senator Bill Cassie has said that the money is a waste of money.
The funny blue banner of the CDC was included in the top of the fun web page online, and the agency’s blue and white logo as well as the words “vaccine safety”. Read the headline “vaccine and autism”.
The text researched both a link between vaccine and autism and investigated both Debonic, but this possibility was opened – long ago, denied by scientists – that shots are harmful.
It also includes a reference to Brian S. Hoor’s study, who is the Chief Scientific Officer of Children’s Health Defense, and includes other vaccination criticisms.
“This is a mixture of things that are legitimately reviewed and things that are fake,” said Dr. Bruce Gallon, who directed the HHS vaccine program in Bush and Obama administration.
“Footnotes give you the impression that this is a legitimate scientific work,” he added.
A series of praise at the bottom of the page, including videos, “Mother of 3: I will never vaccinate” and “We signed his life.”
This is exactly the opposite of a CDC official Website on autism and vaccineWhich is dedicated to eliminating the idea of ​​a widespread contact and clearly stated that “studies have shown that there is no link.”
Recently, children’s health defense has taken a stand on the spread of measles in western Texas.
The CHD.TV channel of the organization published a camera interview with the parents of a 6 -year -old girl, which was declared dead by the state health department, first reported the death of measles in the United States in a decade.
The baby was restless and had no basic medical condition, According to the Health Agency. But children’s health defense claimed that it had obtained hospital records that were contrary to death.
The organization also interviewed Dr. Ben Edwards, who treated the girl’s siblings and is one of the two Texas doctors – both alternative medicine practitioners – whom Mr Kennedy talked about the outbreak.
In response to the video, the Children’s Hospital, located in the city of Lubbak, Texas, issued a statement this week stating that “a recent online video that includes misleading and false claims,” ​​and noting that privacy laws prevent the hospital from providing information about the matter.
