Just seen this tweet from Hilary Johnson....
@oslersweb: Sounds like fix is in on Lipkin study. Instead of prayer, how about Occupy NIAID? Remember, all roads lead to Fauci. http://www.ageofautism.com/2012/07/a-time-for-prayer.html
The link Hilary provides takes you to an article by age of autism about a scientist who if he doesn't Put his name to a paper he may be fired and have his pension taken away.
This is the part about the scientist......
And in the spirit of truth I must inform you of a situation which I believe not only concerns the autism community, but many other disease communities as well.
A good and honest scientist who has given more than forty years of his life to the service of public health is in peril. I understand that we in the autism and other disease communities may look at the medical establishment as a monolithic entity, but this is not true. Just as there were people in the communist system who knew how thouroughly rotten that system was and desired to do good if given a chance, there are similar people in our medical system.
You ask what threat this scientist finds himself under and I will tell you. They have threatened to fire him and take away his pension. I don't know if they can do it. I don't know if it's a bluff. But it has been threatened. He is supposed to lend his name to a study, the conclusions of which he does not support. It is an assault not just upon the millions of people who suffer from various afflictions, but also on the integrity of scientific research in our country.
For those who would perpetrate injustice I ask you to reconsider. You do not want to be on the wrong side of history. There are millions of people in the various disease communities who will not forget this planned destruction of an honest scientist. And do not make the mistake of believing we are as weak as we have been in the past. We have learned your methods and we are ready to confront you. I ask that you consider the positive reasons you went into science, the desire to advance the health of the human race, and turn away from this path which seeks only to protect reputations and bureacracies, rather than those who suffer.
I ask the members of the various disease communities for your prayers for this good scientist who finds himself under threat. I am giving you something specific to pray about. I don't know if the prayers will give him strength to endure what may come, or turn away the hand of those who would seek to do evil to him.
Please offer your prayers for this good man of science so that he may help our children and those of other disease communities who suffer with their afflictions.
