New Congressman Falsely Claims Vaccines Cause Autism

· Leave a Comment

Rep.-elect Mark Green (R-TN) — who is also a medical doctor — told constituents “he believed vaccines may be causing autism, denying data from the Centers for Disease Control and other institutions disproving such a theory,” the Tennessean reports.

Not only did Green express hesitation about the CDC’s stance on vaccines, Green said he believed the federal health agency has “fraudulently managed” the data.

Same Election. Different Stories.

Election Day brings a flood of political news — and which sources you follow can shape the story you see.

That's why I appreciate what Ground News does. It shows how the same story is covered across the political spectrum — and highlights important stories that one side may be ignoring entirely.

And when the votes are counted and everyone starts debating what they mean, it's a useful way to get a broader view.
