Milwaukee "doctor" still believes vaccines cause autism...
She's trying to walk back the comments, I know I wouldn't trust her as a "doctor" any farther than I can throw her.
Milwaukees new top health official says the science is still out on widely-debunked link between vaccines and autism
The new appointed leader of Milwaukees troubled Health Department got off to a rough start after casting doubt on studies that conclusively show no link between childhood vaccinations and autism, the Journal Sentinel reported.
According to the report, Dr. Patricia McManus who was selected to head up the department by the Common Council made her comments while appearing on a local radio program on Wednesday.
Asked about the claims by members of the so-called anti-vaxxer movement that there is a direct link between the measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) vaccine and autism in children, McManus left the door open that the Centers for Disease Control could be wrong in their clearly stated 2015 response to the controversy stating:
no links have been found between any vaccine ingredients and ASD.
Speaking on Wednesday, McManus waffled when asked about the link, telling the hosts of WNOV-AMs The Forum that there is some doubt.
I dont think the answer is yet there. I mean, theres still people who believe it, McManus explained. And so I dont know. I think the science is still out. I think thats a decision that these families are going to have to make on their own at this point.
