For the first time in a generation, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has rewritten its official position on whether vaccines can cause autism.

This is a change that could reshape one of the most politically charged and emotionally fraught debates in modern medicine.

In a website update published on 19 November 2025, the agency now states that the long-standing claim “vaccines do not cause autism” is “not an evidence-based claim” because scientific studies “have not ruled out the possibility that infant vaccines cause autism.”

The page also acknowledges that “studies supporting a link have been ignored by health authorities.”

It’s difficult to overstate the significance of these statements. For nearly two decades, they would have been unthinkable for a federal public health agency.

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) urged airlines on Jan. 16 to exercise caution when flying over Central America and the eastern Pacific due to military activities and potential navigation interference.

The FAA said it issued notices covering the airspace in Mexico, Central America, Panama, Bogotá, Guayaquil, and Mazatlán Oceanic Flight Regions, as well as parts of the eastern Pacific Ocean.

The notices will remain effective for 60 days, according to its statement.

“Potential risks exist for aircraft at all altitudes, including during overflight and the arrival and departure phases of flight,” the aviation regulator said in its notices to airmen (NOTAMs)

Trump puts $1 BILLION price tag on membership for his new "UN replacement";... and the president"will control ALL the money" 

SOPHIE GABLE, US REPORTER, dailymail.co.uk

President Trump has put a $1 billion price tag on membership for nations who wish to permanently join his new 'Board of Peace'.

Trump announced his plans for the new organization on Friday, explaining that the initiative was a 'vital step' in implementing his 20-point Comprehensive Plan to End the Gaza Conflict.

'The Members of the Board will be announced shortly, but I can say with certainty that it is the Greatest and Most Prestigious Board ever assembled at any time, any place,' the president later said on Truth Social. 

Critics have speculated that the Board of Peace may be intended to replace the United Nations.

A draft charter for the BOP, first reported by Bloomberg, stated that each member state would serve a maximum of three years, unless $1 billion is contributed within the first year. 

A US official confirmed to the Daily Mail that there is no requirement to contribute the funds, but those who do are granted permanent membership rather than a three-year term. 

The money raised by the board is intended to fund the administration's efforts to rebuild Gaza, officials said. 

The Board of Peace was described in the charter as, 'an international organization that seeks to promote stability, restore dependable and lawful governance, and secure enduring peace in areas affected or threatened by conflict.'

Trump says he will serve as chairman of the board, and as such he would control the money. Sources familiar with the board told Bloomberg that several nations have strongly opposed the draft.
