Thyroid Cancer

["R. William Field" <bill-field@UIOWA.EDU>]

Jim,



You appear to have a lot of anger. My post, which apparently caused you to

attack me, had nothing  to do with Dr. Cohen's ecologic findings.  I was

merely making a scientific observation (supported in part by several recent

scientific publications) about thyroid cancer and asking for a

clarification.  My post did not deserve such a hostile, unwarranted and

personal attack.  I do not distort Dr. Cohen's data, but I do have a

different view on the significance of his findings.  Nor am I alone on my

perspectives concerning the ecologic findings. Many people including Sir

Richard Doll, Sarah Darby, Jay Lubin, and so on have questioned the validity

of Dr. Cohen's interpretation of his ecologic findings.  But in all those

published letters and articles, we have tried to maintain respect for each

other.   I do not attack Dr. Cohen or you personally, but rather challenge

the validity of some of his and your statements.  As scientists and

professionals, we should endeavor to treat each other in a respectful,

tolerant manner.



Sincerely, Bill Field

Jim,



I am not sure I accept your claim that there were no thyroid cancer related

deaths related to the Chernoby accident.  Did I read your post correctly?



<Who cares!?  I provided the documentation. Read it. "Refute"/distort it.

All the major scientific challenges, i.e., your refs, have been

heard/refuted in open conferences/proceedings.  I'm surprised the ICRP-mafia

didn't succeed in getting that trashed, as they did with previous UNSCEAR

reports - especially NCRP, changing the 1994 UNSCEAR Annexes after approved

by the General Assembly, AND their major effort to get UNSCEAR disbanded! -

but somebody is beginning to stand up to the fraud.  (But then, of course,

you're still following them to ignore and distort  Bernie's data and

results, and the many substantial confirmatory studies, too!?  I understand

Roger Clarke, and Charlie Meinhold, and Steve Wing more than understanding

why you would make this a "career."  Guess I can't be very surprised about

much any more.  Good grief.)>
