\"NHMRC\"<\/p>\n

Editor\u2019s note<\/em>: Australia\u2019s feckless\u00a0National Health & Medical Research Council<\/em><\/a> (NHMRC), with CEO\u00a0Warwick Anderson<\/a>\u00a0at the controls,\u00a0is engaged<\/a> in an all-out war<\/a> on (a) common sense, (b) innumerable first-hand reports from around the world, and (c) an abundance of\u00a0reliable clinical evidence & research<\/a> confirming that wind turbines do, indeed, \u201cdirectly\u201d cause illness \u2014 the illness known to everyone as Wind Turbine Syndrome (WTS).<\/p>\n

Open the video, below<\/a>, and watch Anderson and his lieutenants get hammered by federal Senator John Madigan<\/a> over the NHMRC\u2019s latest phony WTS report. (Note how Anderson et al. take pains not to use the term, Wind Turbine Syndrome.) \u00a0Sit back, relax, and listen to 17 minutes of jaw-droppingly evasive answers to the obviously frustrated senator. \u00a0(Senator Madigan\u00a0has frequently\u00a0appeared<\/a> in these pages<\/a>.)<\/p>\n

Click here<\/a> for the text of Senator Madigan grilling the NHMRC.<\/p>\n

The other individual questioning Prof. Anderson,\u00a0Senator Richard Di Natale<\/a>, is a\u00a0wind energy zealot<\/a>\u00a0preaching the Gospel of Big Wind up and down Australia while smiting infidels like Dr. Sarah Laurie hip and thigh.\u00a0\u00a0Surprisingly, Di Natale is a physician. \u00a0Unsurprisingly, like most physicians he substitutes his medical credential for common sense and doing his homework on the subject at hand. \u00a0In any event, in his exchange with the NHMRC brass, Di Natele is\u00a0struggling to maneuver Prof. Anderson into conceding that WTS is such rubbish that further research is a waste of good tax dollars.<\/p>\n

Such is the state of government \u2014 and medicine? \u2014 in that truly astonishing land called Australia. \u00a0Watching Warwick and his henchmen, followed by Di Natale, is like watching burlesque minus the entertainment. (Truth be told, it\u2019s really really depressing.)<\/p>\n

Why do Australians tolerate these fools? (Is it their business suits? \u00a0The white hair? \u00a0The glasses? \u00a0The titles?) \u00a0Are Aussies not aware that their NHMRC and shills like Di Natale are a mockery of medical and scholarly research \u2014 and about 50 years behind the curve? (Is there something goofy about the \u201cair\u201d in Australia? The water? \u00a0Too many kangaroos? \u00a0I swear these NHMRC guys & Di Natale are the caliber of a small-town health board somewhere in Bible Belt Tennessee.)<\/p>\n
