华盛顿4月22日路透电 — 美国卫生与公众服务部部长小罗伯特·F·肯尼迪周三对参议员表示，他认为在本周末前向参议员公开其盟友戴维·盖尔的美国卫生与公众服务部合同没有任何问题。
盖尔是长期反疫苗活动人士，作为合同雇员受雇于美国疾病控制与预防中心，肯尼迪在过去一周的第六次国会听证会上作证时透露了这一信息。

公开其雇佣合同将首次官方详细披露盖尔在该部门所担任的角色。他在HHS的雇员数据库中被列为高级数据分析员。
在参议院财政委员会作证时，新墨西哥州民主党参议员本·雷·卢詹询问肯尼迪是否还承诺公开管理盖尔工作的相关规程。肯尼迪表示他无法提供，因为这些规程目前尚未制定，但在盖尔的工作完成后他会予以公开。
肯尼迪此前曾表示，和他一样，盖尔曾宣扬已被驳斥的疫苗与自闭症相关的言论，这与既定科学结论相悖。盖尔目前正牵头对CDC的数据开展疫苗安全性审查。

盖尔此前曾因无执照行医以及给自闭症儿童开具危险治疗处方而被马里兰州罚款。

WASHINGTON, April 22 (Reuters) – U.S. Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. told senators on Wednesday he saw no issue with sharing his ally David Geier’s Department of Health and Human Services contract with them by the end of the week.
Geier, a longtime anti-vaccine activist, is employed as a contractor and reports to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Kennedy testified in his sixth congressional hearing over the past week.

The release of his employment contract would be the first official detailed explanation of the role Geier is playing at the department. He has been listed as a senior data analyst in the HHS employee database.
Appearing before the Senate Finance Committee, Kennedy was asked by Senator Ben Ray Luján, a Democrat from New Mexico, if he would also commit to sharing the protocols that govern Geier’s work. Kennedy said he could not because the protocols do not exist yet but that he would share them once Geier’s work was complete.
Kennedy has previously said Geier, who like Kennedy has promoted debunked claims linking vaccines to autism, contrary to established science, is leading a vaccine safety review of CDC data.

Geier was previously fined by Maryland for practicing medicine without a license and prescribing dangerous treatments to children with autism.
