Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the presidential candidate, has reportedly partnered with longtime vaccine critic David Geier on a study investigating the potential link between vaccines and autism. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has not confirmed the partnership. Geier’s past work has questioned the safety of vaccines, including his theory that thimerosal in vaccines causes autism.
The study aims to examine if there is a correlation between vaccination and neurological damage in children. However, public health experts have expressed concerns over Geier’s involvement, citing his discredited theories on vaccine safety. Critics argue that this partnership may lead to biased results.
Kennedy recently proposed consolidating the US Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) agencies, reducing 20,000 jobs. While some of his plans are seen as reasonable, his handling of vaccine policy has raised concerns among experts.
The restructuring plan aims to downsize HHS from 82,000 workers to 62,000 positions. Critics warn that these staff cuts could have significant consequences for public health and food safety. The partnership between Kennedy and Geier has sparked debate over the potential impact on vaccine research and public health policies.
