Vaccine skeptic hired to head federal study of immunizations and autism

  • The US National Institutes of Health is conducting a study on vaccines and autism, despite the myth being debunked, led by David Geier.
  • David Geier and his father, Mark Geier, have previously published papers claiming vaccines cause autism, despite extensive research disproving these claims.
  • Many experts, including Jessica Steier from the Science Literacy Lab, worry that Geier's study may be biased and lead to public health risks.
  • Alison Singer, president of the Autism Science Foundation, stated that the aim of the study appears to prove a false link between vaccines and autism, which could undermine trust in vaccination.
