"It’s not clear how or why Geier, who is not a physician and has an undergraduate degree from the Univ. of Maryland at Baltimore County, was chosen... "He was disciplined by Maryland regulators over a decade ago for practicing medicine without a license... www.washingtonpost.com/health/2025/...
It’s pretty clear WHY. Competency, experience and expertise are not virtues to the current administration. They are liabilities.
😲The United States of Idiocy.
The reason he was chosen is because no one sufficiently competent to carry out such studies would take the position. Those who chose Geier will pressure him to produce their desired results, and Geier will know too little to fight back, even if he wanted to.
Because they don't want anyone with skills, credentials or licenses. That's the point, to tank everything, to please Putin and made a mockery of our country.
Feudal state goals!
All you know Rachel he only hires the best quacks and snake oil salesman
He's going in to probably mix bleach in every vile 🤣😂
The reason that they’re all a bunch of unqualified people is because 45 removed DEI so he could hire based on friendships and NOT qualifications. This is going to be happening all across our country (more than usual). Our country is just in a downward spiral.
This guy might as well publish the results right now and skip the study.
Sigh. Another imposter.
One paper. Just one. And it was withdrawn when it was made clear that the "researcher" had fabricated the evidence. I wonder how many papers have been printed since showing there is no link? If they are trying to stop wasting government money, an inquiry into this should be the last thing to do.
Because it doesn’t make sense to the rest of us is why it exactly why it makes sense to Trump. With him, it’s like Opposite Day every day.
Gop is literally a gathering of talentless unemployables.
Formerly referred to as “deplorables”!
Perfect description of the president and his administration!!🤪🤪(all to our detriment as an outcome)
This is retarded. RFK Junker pick this guy? The broken minds of Trump's administration will show millions of Americans to their graves.
wtf?
He was hired to give the desired outcome.
The pattern has been well established. Put the inmates in charge of the asylum. Where's Pete and Tulsi? Afternoon "meds?"
Perfect.
🤬 ludicrous
Next, we shall have flat earthers study why the earth is flat.
Just more incompetence waiting for another tragic incident.
Really? 🥴
But it is clear why; did you not answer your own question in the 2nd sentence?
Another Chump ‘Merit’ hire.
It is very clear why he was hired. Crystal clear.
What page are we on in the book called Project 2025? There has got to be a last Page sooner or later.....
Trump is doing an excellent job regarding DEI, giving incompetent or criminal older white men (mostly) a second chance to prove their incompetence.
Money.
Another one 🤬
But, of course

So the government study will already fail by any normal measure because the person conducting it is proven to be biased and a liar. Isn't this the sort of wasted expenditure that DOGE was supposed to stop from happening?
We may all die before this administration is done.
I’m running out of ways to say we are SO fucking fucked! 🤦♀️😒
Fucking beyond fucked!
We need a stronger word than fuck🤢👹🤡😈🤮☠️🤯
I am open to any/every word that gets our point across! 💙✊💙👊💙
I'm still fairly confident they are so stupid that they will ultimately fail. However, if they don't, you're absolutely right that we're fucking fucked up the fucking fuckbutt.
I also believe they are too stupid to truly succeed, but not so stupid that they won’t hurt a lot of innocent people before they finally fail. 😒
My most used meme
Yep pretty much 😳
Keep pushing back. Peaceful resistance has been studied & has proved to be extremely effective in toppling regimes & there after installing democratic gov's, as opposed to violent resistance. If 3.5% of the population resist, Trump & co will be gone. Demo, boycott, strike. Don't give up. Fight back!
Also boycotting Target and Amazon and not keeping quiet about why I’m doing it.
Love it, keep it up! Plus keep writing to your Republic reps to demand answers on the governments unlawful actions, them you're not happy. I'm sure some of those red dots in your area are at least turning purple now. Try & find other Democrats to stage actions with.
Yes! Peaceful, focused resistance is the best way to push back, especially for this blue dot in a red state. I now wear an inexpensive blue bead bracelet everywhere I go. It’s been a conversation starter and for me that’s a good…start! 💙✊💙👊😁
Thank you for bringing up a critical political time of history . He started all of this hell. It is his fault! He allowed the rich to get their hands on our government. The middle class started to lose all kinds of protections & power. He deregulated all the utility companies, banks, and many more
Exactly how I feel every single day. 😒
May this piece of opinion give you some hope! Beware, Trump: the American spirit is indefatigable! "It loves freedom and equality, abhors tyranny, values minding your own business and hates, above all, to be told what to do. This will haunt Trump soon enough.." www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
This really is an encouraging op-ed! Thanks for sharing. I am ever hopeful. 💙✊💙👊
Holy outbreak! They got rid of DEI & installed POS
Aw, c'mon. He's perfect!
America truly is the land of opportunity to fail upward.
Only the Best!
Beautiful. A fake doctor to head a fake study, to show that vaccines do in fact cause autism. The US is a troll factory.
he markets chemical castration as a cure for autism
I’m a retired child development specialist, and ran full inclusion nursery schools for many years I know a lot about autism spectrum disorder I also know for certainty that that guy is a fucking asshole
Just another loser in a administration of losers
Republicans are out to aggressively ruin your country
Put him in jail, don't hire him, incarnate him
Um. It’s not clear??? It’s clear because he thinks vaccines cause autism. There are a few autistic people in trumps orbit.
What a waste of tax money! Where is Elon Now? Pause it Elon!
Dear God, is there to be no end to the elevation of incompetence and criminals to positions for which they are not even remotely qualified???
SCARY
Wolf appointed to oversee the shepherding of sheep. What could go wrong?
There is nothing redeeming about anyone in this administration. They are all just genuinely awful people
Looks like they'll have more horrible people in this administration than Hitler had in his. What the US has come to! I often wish I had not lived long enough to see this tragedy unfolding.
I want to live long enough to see all MAGA bastards kicked out of government and brought to justice.
That’s actually one of the things that helps me cope when my patients pass on hospice…at least they don’t have to continue living in this hell hole.
Yes , isn’t that a sad testament to this country’s folly? I m glad I’m approaching 70 n will have less years to watch all their destruction unfold. I really feel for younger folks. It’ll be all they ever knew.
Absolutely -sadly-agree 😔😞😕🙁😔😢
That petrifies me. I have 4 young grandchildren and I want them to be free in a country that is scientific, ethical, educated, promotes equality.
Is Canada an option?
Im keeping it as an option if things get totally bad. I'm looking into it.
I’m looking at leaving but to a Spanish speaking country. I lived in Venezuela , under the Chavez dictatorship. The downward economic spiral there forced most of my teaching colleagues to flee. Unless , we can mount a decisive turn around - leaving may become our last, best option to live in peace.
I’m looking into New Zealand as healthcare workers my husband and I would be able to get visas. It’ll be hard to leave family behind.
Hitler admired the US. We started the eugenics movement.
He studied the trail of tears
From the very top to begin with, all the way down. Only difference is the ones on the bottom have a shorter trip to hell.
Find the most ignorant and arrogant asshole that is completely unqualified…
We wouldn’t want anyone who had any knowledge in this position, would we.
So the clown show continues…
It's just...I can't. I mean, this too?
He’s unethical… That’s why he was chosen. In the upside down world of Trumps fascistic state everything once bad is now good and all that was good it is now treated as bad. We are being forced to live in Donald Trump’s reality of criminality.
Well then, that makes him PERFECT for a spot on the current regime!
This exactly. Hes completely unethical and unqualified therefore he’s perfect. The only thing missing is he hasn’t hosted on Fox
Holy crap!!! 💩
Rachel....I know you're only supposed to be around 5 days a week for the first 100 days, but.....believe your public needs your way of analyzing news, etc. Please stay for at least part of every week
Pretty PLEASE!!
💙❤️, with sugar on top 😘
WTF
He was chosen to ruin the dept., as were the other chairmen and women. Pm
Omg
More morons at Moronfest 2025
WTAF
No competence allowed in the regime.
So what they’re not doing, is finding a connection because autism was around before the vaccines that they blame autism on .So what they are doing is trying to find the narrative to fill their assertion.
Oh dear sweet baby jesus
Can't create a MAGA Idiocracy without hiring a bunch of idiots.
Always promoting incompetent people. Liars.
Omg. Always liars.
Only the best people…. Why do we need doctors or scientists to actually conduct a study ……of something that was already studied
Say it with me: VACCINES 👏 DO 👏 NOT 👏 CAUSE 👏 AUTISM 👏
He’s just another Trump Clown!
WTF???
More and more unqualified people are running our government
A DEI hire maybe?
Or another DUI hire?
🤣
Oh no. They’re doing this on merit. Which is also known as…loyalty to Trump.
If you can’t see the Post www.msn.com/en-us/public...
I think Geier was chosen by virtue of a diploma from the IBC (Institute of Bias Confirmation)
WTF?
Yes it is clear why he was chosen. The qualifying criteria are gross incompetence, fealty to the orange man, and willing to do anything for grift. Very clear.
THEY LITERALLY WANT TO KILL ALL OF US
Son, I say son...just where in the hell does he get these people!!
How is that study in their slashed budget? Will he have a desk? Pencils? Tin foil?
Crayons. And probably one of those picture books with the tabs that you can pull to make the eyes of the characters move.
We’re surrounded by idiots
The GOP is spineless and the trump administration is full of drunken crack heads, so what did we expect from them...disaster.
Thank you Rachel for highlighting all the little things corrupt about this administration! But the big picture is blatantly pointing to the end of America as a world power.
I know why. He's unqualified. That's the only qualification needed. And being an asskisser.
Please extend past 100 days. We need you.
What could go wrong?
The goal is to make everything so bad that even an inept Moran can make things look better while keeping a boot on the necks of the citizens. It’s ALL part of the plan dictated to Trump by Putin, Orban and Stephen Miller.
So, the guy who was Practicing Medicine Without a License is not only NOT jailed but CHOSEN by the current administration. But of Course that’s gonna MAKE AMERICA HEALTHY AGAIN
I don’t think Trump is one bit concerned about Americans health. He is doing all this to punish his enemies within. That is his goal.
Perfect candidate — for the GOP clown car
Oh for God's sake. I thought they had all ready chosen all the incompetent people in the world.
Oh it's clear to me.
bsky.app/profile/kati...
Where do we find where the protests are going to be? I’m a Democrat from Wisconsin and tired of this crap. If protesting is one thing I can do, I will.
Check with the Indivisible.org they can direct you to a local group
Look for ur local govt office
Yes I pray there is a march in my community
Wtf
With this “administration” that sounds like exactly why he was chosen.
in the context of mike waltz being appointed to investigate himself, it kinda makes sense.
Trump and GOP have no depths to which they will gladly go
You just cannot make this shit up
Because mass death to gain a "demographic reset" is what the KKKristofascists want...and Bezos the KKKlown, Muskyfinger, Crackerberg and the rest were happy to pay them to do it in order to get tax cuts and the ability to thoroughly abuse labor and consumers.
So many people are going to die.💔😡
I'm on the spectrum. I am appalled by the amount of money that goes to studying something that's gotten the same result on many previous tests: No. The only reason why there's even the slightest correlation is that signs of autism naturally happen around the time it becomes safe to vaccinate kids.
Please don’t let this reflect on UMBC, a truly great research university!
This is scary shit!!
Miscarriage as a crime x.com/longtimehist... This is MAGA
Pigf***er state.
🤬🤬🤬
It's the First Felon's long established rule to only hire the dumbest people in the big jobs. They're so stupid that they only know what they are told to know, by their criminal boss. Go ahead, inject bleach. I'm sure it will cure anything that ails you.
Can’t the Feds be sued for “reckless endangerment”?! What’s it gonna take?!!
Maybe they are trying to skip stages and go right into degenerate autocraticy
harris.uchicago.edu/news-events/...
About the time you think it can’t get more unbelievable….
Said that after the Access Hollywood tape.
You found it unbelievable that a rich man (know for being a womanizer) said "grab them by the p#$$y"? 🙄 that's literally the least shocking thing about him. It totally tracks for men, and don't respond with "not me, I'm a good one" bc unless you are stopping any of it, you're just complacent 😉
No idea why you had to denigrate UMBC in this.
maga trying to legitimise discredited BS when are we going to hear about the election results for swing states?
This has to stop. So fucking crazy. Everyday crazier than the day before.
Who needs vaccines? Just pray harder. Sarcasm.
What could go wrong?
WTF
Is there an article in something other than the Post?
autisticadvocacy.org/2025/03/asan...
www.statnews.com/2025/03/26/r...
Thank you
YW 👍
It is crystal clear it is a set up. They want children to be sick to prove themselves right and they will literally rig anything to prove it.
The intention is to blow everything up. How do you do that? Install the least-qualified individuals who can inflict maximum damage. They’re fucking SICK.
It’s really beyond the pale of anything that seems even real at this point we are losing our country. Why Musk is being allowed to do this makes no sense but then when it comes to Humpty D it doesn’t have to I guess.
He’s a perfect fit in Trump’s Cabinet of Misfit Bros.
Par.
All they want are willing fools, no intelligence, morals or credentials needed.
Anti-Vaccine - is DANGEROUS and IRRESPONSIBLE! Vaccines Protect Me From You-And Protect You From Me! #Vaccination - is the Only Way to Achieve - 'Herd' Immunity! GET VACCINATED! Brag About Your Vaccinations! Show Disdain for Anti-Vaxxers! The Whole World Knows Better! 🇺🇸 🌍
Couldn’t say it better!!!
Dude is a train wreck. Stay away!
Amen!!! Never seen a more incompetent and unempathetic group of people running this country!!! God help us!!!
Wait until next week. They'll exceed it.
They need to bring back DEI more than ever!!!
That means i am way more qualified than all those idiots in trump's cabinet, even trump himself and trump want's me to call him president? Here is the deal, why not the ole fart call me president for a change to salute meritocracy ?
Jesus H Roosevelt Christ! These bastards just keep coming out of the woodwork!!
What could possibly go wrong?
Unfukingreal. Maggots voted for this. great job maggots
I imagine so he could produce the results of an “independent study” with predetermined conclusions: “vaccines bad make people autistic”. Hoping we are stupid enough to ignore over a decade of credible research showing the opposite.
Any crack pot will do.
We cut cancer research and are now giving this person money to research something that has already been done and been disproven.
I just can't today!
Omg
Hey, got an idea! Maybe centrist Dems, who think swing voters don't include the folks turning out in IA, WI, western MI & Warren MI to hear @sanders.senate.gov/ @aoc.bsky.social - so don't want the SUBSTANCE of Trump/Musk challenged - will reconsider THAT assumption? www.nytimes.com/2025/03/26/h...
Please, y'all: THIS is what "centrists" DO cuz, see, "swing" voters really want Trump to disassemble the fed'l gov't and make, say, impossible to use the SSA and (soon) have Medicaid cover nursing home care. And don't want an NWS, NOAA, parks service or air traffic control. bsky.app/profile/beve...
😱😱😱
That’s just F’ing great.
Because there wasn’t anyone dumber available.
And paid with tax dollars, of course. Look at all this efficiency!
In other news, Gargamel has been named Secretary of Smurf Defense, and the Hamburglar will ration America’s beef supplies.
Only the best fraudsters with the most creepy history need apply...
The inmates are overseeing the asylum. How convenient for ALL the Project 2025-trained operatives who now control the nut house!
I would be more surprised if you said "it is clear why...". "Not clear" is stating the obvious
#nowords
@maddow.msnbc.com, I deeply appreciate how you make me laugh. It's that or cry. Sometimes, it is both. The humor you bring to reporting what is happening is deeply appreciated. I live near Mars, PA. Any mentions of Musk and Mars make me shudder as that would be far too close!
It's clear that the more inept and inexperienced you ate the more likely you are to get hired by the Trump Admin.
In other words, I TOO AM QUALIFIED! 🤓
HHS certainly doesn’t want a qualified physician to do this study, or a qualified scientist, that would destroy their chances of a finding by the study that vaccines are bad and cause autism. This “ theory” was debunked quite a while back, why revisit it again? Waste and Fraud.
Meanwhile snake oil & magic pills $ales $well pushed by OZ & Kennedy interest$
Seems to be like all the rest of Trump’s unqualified circus.
He fits in perfectly! Unqualified! Unqualified! Unqualified!
Only the best and the brightest for this administration. Sigh.
JFC. What next?
I think we all know why.
I suspect Putin wants to kill as many Americans possible through weaponizing dipshit traitors.
It's not about excellence or professionalism. It's all about obedience.
Nice name. Fitting. Geier in German means vulture.
Girl, you are on 🔥Keep up the snark…loving it!
Hoping every medical org and on sue about this. Problem is it just keeps everything in limbo. Like how he wants it. Courts need to call out the manipulation and proceed.
Because Donald and his father (maybe mom idk) have been very open about “superior genes.” Ie Nazi Eugenics. This is why. The Republican Party are terrorists. The sooner people accept this, the sooner we can get on with what appears to be a war. Unless they go to jail willingly.
They are of german descency, right? Not sure what went wrong with our genetics.
We can now do DNA testing. We should be testing the DNA to find out what their heritage is. Let's start with Steven Miller.
You can not DNA test for stupid and willing to do illegal activities. 🤦♀️ Besides that company is going bankrupt. Apparently they have all the data they needed for the experiment. Some of us never signed up to participate. Still to be determined if that move protected us or made us more vulnerable. 🤔
True. But DNA will most likely to demonstrate the impurity of the Arian heritage that these white people think they have.
I’ve been gobsmacked with how many people of color have joined the MAGA movement and voted for Trump. I know some otherwise intelligent people with talent who fell for the BS and are black. It divided them from their families and they still did it. 🤦♀️ Many so called whites will test as other races. 😎
Another incompetent joins the idiot brigade.
Maybe Autism is caused by petrochemical pollution ?
"Prenatal exposure to air pollution..." 🤔 I wonder what kind of air pollution might contribute to autism?
Craziest thing ever. Trump can dump Kennedy or place him somewhere quiet and safely fenced in and it would not cost Trump a thing. Where are the smarter Project 2025 people on this craziness?
Dear Democrats feel free to be hard asses and pursue all the malfeasance being done by MAGA. We re behind you and will forever be in your debt for saving our democracy
I keep thinking that this MAGA administration can't get any more stupid, dangerous and incompetent, and I'm always wrong. This is an example.
Waste of money. He me be owed a favor but more likely he promised to have results they want and misinformation re this starts all over again while people are dying of measles!!!
Incompetent political party hire!
"It's not clear how or why" someone completely incompetent was chosen? Crystal clear to me, and anyone else paying attention.
THANK YOU The incompetence is the point. It's one more tool so they can then be able to say "these institutions don't work, so...."
Because someone incompetent chose him.
Sounds like GOP want to hear kids crying from disease. Weird mfkr. Why??
Really clear to me.
Grier was probably one of the convicted felon’s butt kissing donors.
Unless his degree is in Epidemiology or Public Health, I'm more qualified than he is for this job. And I am NOT qualified.
This shit keeps getting deeper.
Revenge on Scientists since Covid. That orange 🍊 Felon is so petty and hateful. Even if it costs millions of lives just to prove a point.
Love you Rachel
Just what we needed another vaccine hoax. What my autistic son needs is Medicaid not a quack!
🤦🏼
Satan assemble his minions...
what a waste of research dollars-this is beating a dead horse-review at least the research already done-this just gives rfk a buddy to add to the decline & demise of americans health & welfare-not even a doctor! merit based skill just like the rest of trumps cabinet-unqualified-lack of creds
Isn't that fraud and abuse of the public's tax dollars?
A total fraud and waste! Certainly of no help to individuals and families affected by autism. We need healthcare , special education and family supports not mindless quackery !!
Wow. Just, wow…
He was either inept, a crook, or both or why would he get hired by the nazi-king.
Trump has got to go and all his cronies gots to go too, come see us at CozyandCoolApparel.Etsy.com, plenty of anti trump/musk, pro democracy apparel for you, and always free shipping!!
This does not surprise me. The entire administration is full of unqualified people.
Only the best, right?
