Is This Who We Trust With Our Kids' Health? Sen. Hassan Grills RFK Jr. Over Hiring Unlicensed 'Doctor' - Liberal Lens
During a heated Senate hearing, Senator Maggie Hassan (D-NH) confronts Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. over his hiring of David Geier — a man previously fined by Maryland regulators for practicing medicine without a license. Hassan presses RFK Jr. on the measles outbreak, the importance of childhood vaccinations, and Geier’s controversial involvement in autism research at HHS.
RFK Jr. denies the official charges and claims the Maryland ruling was overturned. But Hassan brings the facts: Geier gave hormone blockers to children, had no medical license, and remains employed under a government contractor working with HHS.
This fiery exchange raises critical questions about RFK Jr.’s judgment, the politicization of public health, and how misinformation and questionable hires could endanger vulnerable children.
📌 What do you think? Should David Geier be removed from HHS involvement?
