Access to Vaccine Safety Datalink (VSD) data has been a point of contention with the Geiers, who previously lost it due to misrepresentation. Currently, Geier, an HHS employee, is seeking access again with support from NIH researchers, causing concern over patient data security. His aim is to reanalyze data to support claims of a link between thimerosal and autism, while questioning CDC's integrity. Robert F. Kennedy Jr. supports Geier's efforts, despite his promotion of debunked claims about vaccines and autism, raising alarms about the validity of analysis.
In 2004, the CDC banned the Geiers from accessing VSD data after misrepresentation, and again in 2006; the current status of access remains unclear.
Kennedy's backing of Geier is concerning, given that he promotes the discredited vaccines-autism link and claims Geier is the only scientist qualified to analyze the CDC's data.
