🚨 🚨 🚨 "Discredited autism researcher #DavidGeier has full access to personally identifiable data from the original #Vaccine Safety Datalink (VSD) and may be angling to conduct more studies with newer VSD data, according to a former CDC official." (note that "discredited" is an understatement here: Geier is a quack and a crank). https://www.medpagetoday.com/publichealthpolicy/washington-watch/117525

“David Geier is NOT a vaccine skeptic. Stop calling him that.
Letting him head an “investigation” into vaccines and autism will legitimize his decades of lies and illegal medical treatments that harmed children.”https://open.substack.com/pub/immunologic/p/david-geier-is-not-a-vaccine-skeptic

…The #Senate confirmed #RFKJr largely because he won over the chair of the Senate #Health Cmte, #BillCassidy, Republican of Louisiana, who is a medical doctor & strong proponent of childhood #vaccines.
Cassidy has said that further #research into any supposed link between vaccines & #autism would be a waste of money & a distraction from studies that might shed light on the “true reason” for the rise in autism rates.
On Thurs, Cassidy said he wanted confirmation of #DavidGeier’s role…

Several experts said that appointing #DavidGeier to work on a study of #vaccine safety preordains the outcome — like having a basketball referee show up in one team’s jersey.
“You’d think you’d want a fresh eye,” said Edward L. Hunter, a fmr head of Washington’s #CDC office.
“This isn’t a fresh eye. They have already published their results, & spending all this time & money is not going to help anyone. I am quite certain they’ll come to the same conclusion.”

#DavidGeier’s involvement in #US govt #research heightens fears that #vaccine confidence could be further eroded, especially after #RFKJr’s recent embrace of questionable alternative treatments for #measles during the ongoing #outbreak in #Texas.
“If we increase vaccine hesitancy & immunization rates go down further, we will see more vaccine-preventable #disease outbreaks. That’s how it works,”said Dr. Christopher Beyrer, director of the Duke Global Health Institute.

#DavidGeier, has published numerous articles in #medical literature attempting to tie mercury in #vaccines to #autism. In 2012, state authorities in Maryland found that he had been practicing #medicine WITHOUT a license alongside his father, Mark Geier, who was a doctor at the time.
MD authorities also suspended Mark Geier’s #MedicalLicense following claims that he #endangered #children w/ autism & #exploited their parents, acc/to state records.

There are some flakey scientists and kooky doctors out there - but none of them are going to head the study?
What does #DavidGeier bring that Junior Hulk want?
Already write Results and Conclusion? -
Late Tuesday, The Washington Post reported that David Geier has been hired as a "data analyst" by the Department of Health and Human Services, which is now headed by Robert F. Kennedy Jr., a prominent and fervent anti-vaccine advocate. Kennedy and Geier have both long touted the false claim that vaccines cause autism, despite the extensive evidence showing that they do not. In March, HHS directed the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to reexamine the nonexistent link between vaccines and autism, using funds from taxpayers that could have been directed at other research. @ArsTechnica reports:
