By Sarah Owermohle, Katherine Dillinger, CNN(CNN) — The US Senate voted 51-44 on Wednesday to confirm Dr. Erica Schwartz as director of the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. She’s a notable departure from prior contenders considered by the administration, who have toed the “Make America Healthy Again” line. The agency was then overseen by Dr. Jay Bhattacharya, who is also director of the US National Institutes of Health. “While there have been changes to the CDC website, any assertion that there is a link between autism and vaccines is wrong. We don’t know what causes autism, but study after study shows that it is not vaccines,” he said.
