If by "former" you mean "current" and by "cover ups" you mean "an omission of a particular instance related to a particular part of the population concerning a particular vaccine in an article he wrote" then yeah, I guess that's kinda close:

My name is William Thompson. I am a Senior Scientist with the Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention, where I have worked since 1998.
I regret that my coauthors and I omitted statistically significant information in our 2004 article published in the journal Pediatrics. The omitted data suggested that African American males who received the MMR vaccine before age 36 months were at increased risk for autism. Decisions were made regarding which findings to report after the data were collected, and I believe that the final study protocol was not followed.
I want to be absolutely clear that I believe vaccines have saved and continue to save countless lives. I would never suggest that any parent avoid vaccinating children of any race. Vaccines prevent serious diseases, and the risks associated with their administration are vastly outweighed by their individual and societal benefits.

See, the problem here is that William Thompson says that he left out information in the article that might've been relevant to some people.
No where is a cover up by the CDC suggested, or a suggestion that vaccines cause autism made, but rather that a specific sex of a specific race vaccinated at a specific time with one specific vaccination showed an increased risk.
