As expected. Noted antivaxxer Geier, who has had many retractions in the lit and was fined for practicing medicine without a license, is who Kennedy hired to "find the cause of autism."

Good Lord, Kennedy truly is the idiot his family warned about, and only a trump administration would ignore their warnings.
Medical licenses and expertise in general are too woke. We need more festering whale carcasses and brain worms in public health.
Quacks running the CDC and HHS. Disgusting. Dangerous.
Every day I am still shocked by the corruption and criminality going on in the US..and it goes unchecked.
Any time I hear his name I'm reminded that Geier is German for "vulture". He and his father have certainly lived up to the name.
Did not know that.
When I arrived in Autism Land, the Geiers were chemically castrating autistic kids on some batshit theory about vaccines and testosterone levels. Incredibly unethical people.
Yep. And David was doing so without a medical license. Just the absolute worst.
This is so depressing.
Is he going to help OJ find the "real killers" as well?
"In recent weeks, an HHS official asked for Geier be given access to additional up-to-date vaccine safety data, which Jernigan said raised patient privacy and ethical concerns." David Geier had 2 of his own studies suspended/terminated by by IRBs for this reason. Why would any IRB approve him?
Do we know he was approved?
He would need IRB approval for research using identifiable private medical information. Maybe he hasn't got IRB approval and that's what was meant by "ethical" problems. If the CDC still has an in-house IRB I'd start asking there.
That's assuming that they do everything above-board. Clearly they're not if Geier is trying to change published studies. I would not be surprised at all if Geier was working with no IRB clearance.
For some not so curious reasons, those pesky privacy and ethical concerns no longer seem to matter to the new toad in charge as long as they are willing to toe his line ideologically. This no longer about the public good.
I will take the employees of the CDC at their word when they say the agency is dead so no longer use them as any kind of information. Instead use a country and neighbor who have not lost their collective fucking minds... www.canada.ca/en/public-he...
Networks and money never fail.
A preview of coming events for the US—The 2019 measles outbreak in Samoa, following a drop in vax rates, which was encouraged by RFK, Jr. More than one in 150 babies age 6 to 11 months died from the measles during the outbreak. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news... www.doherty.edu.au/news-events/...
I'll say it here loud as I can: YOU SOON CANNOT BELIEVE A SINGLE NUMBER THAT COMES FROM THIS ADMINISTRATION.
Hopkins teaches a class on the fraudulent Lancet study withdrawn due to conflicts of interest by the researcher that started this anti vax autism cesspool! Now this mob are all signed on for conflicts of interest and bad science!
Check out the fuckwit in charge of CDC now: bsky.app/profile/jswe...
MAHA has a super deep fuckwit bench. Like for example Leland Lehrman, MAHA Foundation leader and New Age proto-hippie bullshitter who loves the Protocols of the Elders of Zion. irehr.org/2025/06/05/m...
