Here’s some outrageous and totally predictable anti-vaccination scheming at the highest level. Also totally predictable when some new autism/vaccination link is announced in the future, contrary to the mountain of evidence that no such link exists beyond that one, retracted, shitty study. Here’s what our tax dollars are going towards now:

HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has reportedly tasked David Geier to conduct a study investigating a potential link between vaccines and autism, despite overwhelming scientific evidence refuting such a connection. This decision has shocked vaccine experts, as Geier lacks medical credentials and was previously disciplined for practicing medicine without a license. Geier and his father have a controversial history of promoting unproven claims about vaccine preservatives causing autism and treating autistic children with questionable therapies.

Critics view Geier's appointment as a deliberate attempt to produce results that align with Kennedy's long-held anti-vaccine views rather than seeking objective scientific answers. Previously, Geier's research access was revoked after authorities determined he was attempting to manipulate data. Experts describe this as "a frontal attack on public health" occurring amid a growing measles outbreak that has already claimed lives, while Kennedy continues to prioritize treatment over prevention. “Treatment,” which has resulted in kids ending up in the hospital with vitamin A overdoses.
