Danish Scientist Who Claimed Vaccines did not Cause Autism is Arrested by CDC Orders After Evading Justice for 14 Years
Danish scientist Poul Thorsen, MD, PhD, has been on the run for criminal charges by the CDC for over 14 years, and is part of the corruption that has happened in the CDC in years past regarding scientific studies that claim there are “no links” between vaccines and autism.
We have covered the Poul Thorsen story many times over the past decade here on Health Impact News.
Earlier this month (September, 2026), Poul Thorsen was arrested in Germany and then extradited to the United States to face charges for two counts of wire fraud and nine counts of money laundering.
In 2014 a CDC scientist who was a co-author on one of the main studies that supposedly “proved” that the MMR vaccine did not cause autism, admitted that some data was held back that was damaging to the MMR vaccine, particularly among black children.
He made his admission to Brian Hooker.
But nothing ever happened at the CDC, nor in Congress, to deal with this crime.
Arresting Poul Thorsen is a great start to prosecuting criminal fraud regarding studies the CDC stated proved that vaccines did not cause autism, but Thorsen is mainly being prosecuted for money fraud.
Will other criminals that participated in the “vaccines do not cause autism” fraud ever be arrested and convicted?
