Even though David Geier is not a physician, he gave autistic children a dangerous, unapproved drug and improperly prescribed puberty blockers.

    This morning I heard that we’re going back to growing live flu in eggs to make vaccines like the Neanderthals did before the Renaissance.

      EDIT: He had an MD but his license was revoked during an “emergency action”, when it was discovered he did this.

      EDIT2: The dad had the MD and prescribed the meds.

        Where are you getting that he had an MD? Looks like his dad did.

        In 2011, the Maryland Board of Physicians charged David Geier, who is not a physician and has only a bachelor’s degree, with illegally practicing medicine alongside his father, Mark Geier, a doctor who died last month. The two treated children with Lupron, a drug used to lower testosterone or estrogen levels in patients with prostate cancer, endometriosis and other diseases, along with chelation therapy, which leaches heavy metals from the body, as in lead poisoning.

        Why isn’t the right having a meltdown? This guy gave autistic kids puberty blockers.

            But above all, they hate the idea that autistic people be allowed to transition.

            They can’t call trans men sex pests (well, they can. I’ve been called a rapist because I must “trick” gay men.) The narrative that trans men are a threat doesn’t really work. So instead, we are little lost autistic girls who don’t understand our own bodies enough/are engaging in something akin to self harm.
