The American Medical Association and the Vaccine Integrity Project announced a joint initiative to independently review vaccine science and provide clinicians and families with evidence summaries, stepping into a policy gap amid criticism of the CDC. The groups said their effort will synthesize data to support clinician decision‑making rather than make policy recommendations. Separately, NIH Director Jay Bhattacharya outlined plans to modernize grant review, broaden institutional funding distribution, and support reproducibility studies, while reaffirming there is no credible evidence linking vaccines to autism. His reforms aim to streamline peer review and prioritize high‑risk, cutting‑edge research.
