Green Cream of Medicine Weighs in on Wind Turbine Syndrome<\/h4>\n

\u00b7<\/span>
\nAttention all you knuckleheads in Ontario, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, and elsewhere in Canada who fled your homes because of Wind Turbine Syndrome: \u00a0You blew it!<\/em><\/p>\n

The Canadian Association of Physicians for the Environment<\/a> (CAPE), a 4,000-member, nationwide group of clean green-scrubbed clinicians, has concluded your health problems are “anecdotal.” \u00a0(Please overlook the fact of the non sequiturs<\/em> in their “Fact,” below. \u00a0They’re only docs, after all, not logicians.)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Yeah, you left your home\u2014or you’re stuck in your acoustically toxic home and can’t sell the damn thing\u2014for reasons that fail to rise above mere “anecdote.” \u00a0By implication, you <\/em>are an anecdote, your health problems<\/em> are anecdote, and your “claimed” suffering<\/em> is anecdote. \u00a0(Anecdotes, by the way, are but a cat’s whisker removed from a joke. \u00a0Remember that.)<\/p>\n

In sum, you’re a dummy.<\/p>\n

“There is no scientific data that proves these claims<\/a>.” \u00a0(Don’t you just love medical doctors? \u00a0Spilling with knowledge. \u00a0Compassion. \u00a0Wisdom. \u00a0Minds\u2014minds, um,\u00a0like a steel trap.)<\/p>\n

Where does this leave Pierpont’s book, “Wind Turbine Syndrome”? \u00a0According to this crowd, it ain’t\u2014drum roll, please!\u2014”science.” \u00a0Johns Hopkins MD, Princeton PhD (Population Biology), National Merit Scholar and cum laude graduate Yale University in science—but her book ain’t science. \u00a0It’s . . . fluff. \u00a0Just stories. \u00a0As in, “That’s a sort of interesting, mildly entertaining little story. \u00a0Tee hee. \u00a0Now, let’s get real. \u00a0How would you like your green eggs & ham?”<\/p>\n

All you poor saps who think you have Wind Turbine Syndrome: \u00a0it’s been one big huge terrible mistake. \u00a0You can go back home now. \u00a0Or, if you’re already home, quit fakin’ it, for pete’s sake!<\/em><\/p>\n
