Flipboard Science Desk<p>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. <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://flipboard.com/@ArsTechnica" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>ArsTechnica</span></a></span> reports:<br><a href="https://arstechnica.com/health/2025/03/rfk-jr-hires-anti-vaccine-advocate-to-study-debunked-vaccine-autism-link/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">arstechnica.com/health/2025/03</span><span class="invisible">/rfk-jr-hires-anti-vaccine-advocate-to-study-debunked-vaccine-autism-link/</span></a></p><p><a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/Autism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Autism</span></a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/Vaccines" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Vaccines</span></a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/RobertFKennedyJR" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RobertFKennedyJR</span></a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/HHS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HHS</span></a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/DavidGeier" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DavidGeier</span></a></p>
