Anti-vaccine Kwakzalvers hired by RFK Jr. started working in the health department

External researchers can request access to VSD data by submitting research proposals to the CDC. The Geiers have gained access in the past. But they lost that access at least twice, the magazine reported. In 2004, the CDC kicked the Geiers after civil servants had established that they had misunderstood their plans for the data when they initially submitted their proposal to the CDC. They were excluded again in 2006.

Now an HHS employee, Geier is looking for access to the data again. The magazine reports that Kennedy has assigned researchers from the National Institutes of Health to help Geier and that those NIH employees have sent a request to the CDC to transfer all VSD data. It is said that this request caused an alarm on the CDC and the health care locations of the project throughout the country, which are concerned about protecting the security of private patient data.

It is unclear whether Geier has regained access to the data. But people who are familiar with the case told the magazine that Geier wants to re -analyze the data of the CDC about Thimerosal to try to prove a link to autism. The sources also said that Geier is interested in prove that the CDC is corrupt.

In the hearing of May, Kennedy, who also defended the disadvantaged claim that vaccines cause autism, defended Geier. Kennedy said that “there have been many monkeys with the VSD” and that Geier is “the only living independent scientist” who has seen the data and can determine whether it has changed. (Hassan intervened that Geier is not a scientist.) Kennedy also wrongly claimed that a court destroyed the finding of the medical council that he had practiced medicines without a license and had granted Geier $ 5 million.

That didn’t happen. But Kennedy may have referred to the fact that Mark Geier has filed a lawsuit against the medical council on a cease-and-desistent order in 2012 that he claimed that he was wrongly prescribed medication for himself, his wife and his son while his medical permit was suspended. Mark Geier sued the board and said that the order was malignant because it contained personal information, including the medicines that Geier had prescribed. A circuit court chose the side of the Geiers and grant them Almost $ 5 million in total. But the victory and the prize were appeal in 2019.
