Whistleblower William Thompson Accuses CDC of Hiding Vaccine-Autism Data, Questions 2024 Boosters
Oct 7, 2024, 04:00 PM
A series of tweets have raised serious allegations against the CDC, accusing it of covering up data related to vaccines and autism. A whistleblower, identified as William Thompson, reportedly admitted in a letter that the CDC hid data showing a higher incidence of autism in children vaccinated at a younger age. This letter, which was allegedly deleted after being posted online, has sparked outrage and claims of corruption. Additionally, there are accusations that the CDC has made false claims about the benefits of 2024 COVID-19 boosters, with no human prospective, double-blind randomized, placebo-controlled trials to support reductions in infection, transmission, or hospitalizations. Emails obtained through FOIA also suggest that CDC Director Rochelle Walensky knew that vaccinated people could still carry the virus when she stated otherwise in 2021.
