From Claudia Adkison, Emory University dean, to Charles Nemeroff, Emory University professor of psychiatry, in a 2006 memo:
I have been grateful that the reporter was not sophisticated enough to ask all the right questions.
Grateful. She was grateful. Ugh. Double ugh. Professor Nemeroff, you’ll recall, took vast sums of money to advocate the prescription of dangerous drugs to millions of people and hid this fact, even after several warnings. Dean Adkison was grateful, let me repeat, that a reporter didn’t ask “all the right questions” to expose this.
This is why New York Times reporter John Schwartz’s lack of understanding matters.
That memo must be a story in itself.
Guess it just was in this post.
