华盛顿,3月7日(路透社) – 美国卫生与公众服务部周六表示,美国自闭症咨询委员会将不会按计划于3月举行会议。
跨部门自闭症协调委员会(IACC)负责就联邦自闭症研究经费向卫生部长提出建议,并协调联邦层面的自闭症相关工作。该委员会原定于3月19日举行会议。

“跨部门自闭症协调委员会不会在本月晚些时候举行会议,”卫生与公众服务部发言人安德鲁·尼克松表示,并未透露取消会议的更多细节或新的会议日期。“一旦有更多信息,将立即公布。”
卫生部长小罗伯特·F·肯尼迪于1月份对该委员会进行了重组。肯尼迪长期以来是反疫苗活动人士,曾暗示疫苗会导致自闭症。
新委员会中超过三分之一的成员曾宣扬疫苗与自闭症之间的已被揭穿的关联。一些新成员表示,他们旨在将联邦资金引向调查自闭症成因以及共病医疗障碍等其他问题。
上周,十几名自闭症倡导者、研究人员和几名前委员会成员成立了独立自闭症协调委员会,以制定自己的自闭症研究战略计划,作为对肯尼迪任命的委员会的抗衡。

WASHINGTON, March 7 (Reuters) – A U.S. autism advisory board will not hold a scheduled meeting in March, the Department of Health and Human Services said on Saturday.
The Interagency Autism Coordinating Committee makes recommendations to the health secretary on federal autism research spending and coordinates federal autism efforts. The group was scheduled to meet on March 19.

The panel was remade in January by Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., a longtime anti-vaccine activist who has suggested vaccines cause autism.
More than a third of the new committee members have promoted the debunked link between vaccines and autism. Some new members have said they aim to steer federal dollars toward investigating causes of autism as well as other issues like co-occurring medical disorders.
Last week, a dozen autism advocates, researchers and several former committee members formed the Independent Autism Coordination Committee to create its own strategic plan for autism research as a counter to the Kennedy-appointed group.
