\"Dr.<\/p>\n

Editor’s note<\/em>: \u00a0When I was an academic, one of my specialties was “Disease in History.” \u00a0I taught this course at a worldclass university, where I was a tenured professor. \u00a0In addition, for several years I had a courtesy appointment at the Institute of the History of Medicine<\/a> at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine.<\/p>\n

All by way of background to this: \u00a0 Dr. Sarah Laurie will one day have a postage stamp bearing her image. \u00a0Yes, in Australia. \u00a0Dr. Laurie will one day be featured in textbooks. \u00a0Dr. Laurie will have at least one book written about her—at least one of them, a scholarly book. \u00a0Dr. Laurie will be likely the subject of a Hollywood movie, like\u00a0Erin Brockovich<\/a>. \u00a0Dr. Laurie will be routinely taught in courses on the History of Medicine at medical schools.<\/p>\n

The people persecuting Dr. Laurie are cowards and contemptible. \u00a0A year or so ago I contacted one of them and referred to his “fabulous imbecilities” regarding Wind Turbine Syndrome—and, frankly, most everything else I saw on his pretentious academic resum\u00e9. \u00a0To pronounce this man an academic buffoon would be generous. \u00a0That he’s taken seriously in Australia is nothing short of appalling. \u00a0(I predict this man will, as well, turn up in textbooks—whenever the history of The Big Wind-Energy Folly is written. \u00a0History will not be kind to him.)<\/p>\n

But I digress. \u00a0The European Platform against Windfarms<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0North American Platform against Windpower<\/a>\u00a0have issued a joint declaration of support for Dr. Laurie. \u00a0We, at Wind Turbine Syndrome.com, are honored to join the signatories to this ringing endorsement.<\/p>\n
