When I read your original post on the Geiers' obesity studies, I hoped that someday you might have the opportunity to comment publicly on their other studies from the same decade, so thank you and Tom Bartlett very much for this!

A disgusting and familiar tactic (i.e., ad hominem argument hurled by members of the Mercury Militia to discredit parents of kids on the spectrum who disagree with them on the subject of autism causation). The coward who wrote this post is hiding behind the organization name.

Love the Liberace jacket story, which demonstrates that he was a narcissist from Day One. But the rubber stamp anecdote makes me growl. Some poor autistic kid suffered to give him those lab results, but he couldn't be bothered to look at them.

It's a vivid profile of an opportunistic narcissist with a nose for (1) making bank and (2) making a name for himself. The rubber stamp anecdote says a lot: he simply had no interest in individual children.

Actually, David Geier did appeal his sanction for practicing medicine without a license, but it was upheld by the Maryland Court of Special Appeals, the state's highest court.

Or maybe even a fourth. In 2015 they gave a talk at an IAOMT (anti-amalgam) conference in Puerto Rico where they whined about having recently gotten kicked out of the VSD again.
