| How Government Researchers Hijack Science for Political Purposes |

| [American Thinker] In 2016 I discovered and wrote about Dr. Frank Schnell, career government employee toxicologist, when he asserted that formaldehyde was not a cancer-causing agent - and that the EPA had lied about it. I saw a gem, a Ph.D. toxicologist retired from the Communicable Disease Center ‐ Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR) after 20 years of professional work there, ready to reveal government scientific misconduct on matters of designating toxins and carcinogens. On the formaldehyde issues, Schnell displayed his expertise and his knowledge of EPA misconduct as a view from the belly of the beast. He outlined the science misconduct directed by the EPA and its agency allies, supported by fanatic environmentalists inside and outside the government. Read this wonderful man's explanation in multiple articles that I admire and applaud from his ACSH archive, but also look at his archive at Science 2.0. For those who are interested in the politics, he is lucid; for those who are interested in getting into the scientific weeds, he is plenty smart and easy to understand. |

| #1 government scientific misconduct on matters of designating toxins and carcinogens Before the government ever got involved, consider the controversies engaged in by the scientists themselves: nothing but disagreements and scandals. Consider how reports on the dangers and benefits of coffee swing back & forth every few months or so. Consider what happened to Mme. Curie. Consider what happened to Dr. Karen E. Wetterhahn of Dartmouth, a specialist who died in 1997 of toxic metal exposure. She was a world renowned researcher in -- toxic metal exposure. Various governmental agencies only got involved in the Wetterhahn case after it was far too late. Dartmouth had to pay penalties for negligence that the "top men" -- and women -- of the time did not even know existed! There is far more to this issue that political hijacks. |
