Vaccine Opponent Hired by RFK Jr. Scours Official Records for Link to Autism
An antivaccine activist recently hired by Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has started hunting for proof that federal officials hid evidence that inoculations cause autism, according to people familiar with the matter.
David Geier, a longtime vaccine opponent hired this spring as a contractor in the health department's financial office, is seeking Centers for Disease Control and Prevention data that antivaccine activists, including Kennedy, have alleged was buried because it showed a link between vaccines and autism, the people said.
