Are these quotes official statements released after the CDC shoved a lawyer in front of him to do the talking?

Even in light of these statements, do they somehow erase all the admissions he made in the recorded phone calls? If so, why? How?

Finally, this is not that controversial. The head of the CDC herself stated directly in 2008 that vaccines can and do trigger autism-like symptoms in children with specific mitochondrial predispositions.

Pre-screening/testing is not done to identify these children prior to vaccination. Anyone who thinks such a practice (non-testing/non-screening) is “scientific” has got a few screws loose.
