Here's a smattering of pages, which in turn link to numerous studies, infographics and publications:-

raitionalwiki.org wrote:Mark Geier and David Geier are a bunch of vultures[1] father-son team of American anti-vaccine advocates who specialize in quack cures for autism.

The Geiers are perhaps best known for their truly bizarre theories regarding androgens and mercury. In 2004, Geier advanced a hypothesis that testosterone increases the potency of mercury.[2] This led the Geiers to invent and patent a therapy regimen of chelation and Lupron,[3] an anti-androgen. Lupron is normally only given to children who show signs of precocious puberty,[4] so what the Geiers suggested was way off-label.[5] Their solution? Declare that all the children in their studies had precocious puberty.[6]

This regimen is, to put it mildly, controversial among actual scientists in relevant fields.[7] Fortunately, as of 2009 they no longer have access to Lupron,[8] so no more chemically castrating kids for them.

As of early May, 2011, the Geiers' controversial "therapy" has been found to be a concern by the Maryland State Board of Physicians.[9] Fortunately, they have also decided that Mark Geier's therapies pose such a threat to children with autism that he was stripped of his medical license.[10] It should be noted that David Geier is not and has never been a doctor of any kind, and in the same case was charged with practising medicine without a license.

Works beautifully on a population basis - that argument fails with the average person thinking only of their child - other people taking 'risks' with their children provides the herd immunity that their individual child benefits from without the vaccination risks.

That's the Wakefield guy I'm talking about. Read the link, and see the extent of his fraud. It's not just a faulty paper.

I can point to thousands of papers that are totally fraudulent and will never be retracted, but you sure strongarmed that Wakefield guy! Why do people use this appeal to authority? Are you trying to make it look like a cover up?
