Dr. Durakovic at Port Hope

Here is a link to the news story:

It appears to me to be a biased article in a mainstream newspaper. Here is the lead paragraph:



"Inhalation of radioactive isotopes is extremely dangerous to human health, said the director of an independent, non-profit organization that provides objective, expert scientific and medical research into the effects of uranium exposure."



I wonder if the reporter did a fact check on the "objective, expert scientific and medical research" that Dr. Durakovic has performed.



Here are some self-serving self-descriptions of Dr. Durakovic quoted in the article:



==============

Port Hope is not alone when it comes to political resistance of keeping the truth of the dangers of uranium exposure away from the people, said Dr. Durakovic. It happens all around the world... in Russia, in the United States, in China, in Germany, and in Africa, he noted.



"In the name of truth, in the name of science, I am obligated as a medical doctor to provide for public health regardless of political consequences," he says. "I'm not an activist, just a scientist and medical doctor and I'm here to tell you the truth."

=============



I guess that if he is correct then the overwhelming majority of scientists are liars and conspirators. Only he brings "truth" to the people.



Have any of us ever felt it necessary to describe ourselves the way Dr. Durakovic describes himself? "He doth protest too much!"



I think that it would be tragic if any Port Hope resident  forks over $1500 per test to Dr. Durakovic's pet German laboratory for bioassay studies that are totally unnecessary.
