Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has hired David Geier, an independent researcher, to investigate supposed wrongdoing in a CDC database. But Geier’s previous work with that database suggests that he can’t assess it responsibly, Tom Bartlett reports.

He's a lying hack. We live a few generations past the joys of smallpox, polio, etc. We should NOT rush back. Science is CLEAR. Vaccines save lives and improve scores more, too. Anti-vax is literally a pox on this nation. Doubt me? Get the ouija board and ask the dead masses. They know!

I researched how the VEARS rpts go in for a white paper & most folks don’t know that ALL rpts, whether credible or not, go in & can’t be removed w/o investigation. Means that if someone rpts a vax reaction that their hair turned purple (🙄) it remains until it can be verified as non-relevant. (1/2)

Yes, there is some bad data in there. Absolutely. But not in the cover-up way; it’s an over abundance of correlation/causation reports that take time to suss out & verify. When you open a system to allow any random person putting in a report (like VEARS does), you get some crazy things. (2/2)

Geier is no scientist! He, like his father, has lost any credibility to testify or speak the truth in public. His background in forensic software investigation is unknown!

As someone on Tumblr put it, the efficacy of vaccines is written in stones in graveyards. Tiny little graves with dates of children who died from diseases that vaccines would have prevented become more and more rare once you hit the mid 20th century.
