Return with us now to those thrilling days of yesteryear…

… when asbestos companies could sponsor industry-friendly research at some of our best universities!

A letter signed by dozens of prominent scientists, including some McGill faculty members, was sent to McGill’s top administrators the same day a documentary aired on CBC Television on the [asbestos industry]. Both the letter and the documentary suggested McGill researchers had been paid by the … industry to doctor research to make chrysotile asbestos seem less harmful to human health than it is, or than other forms of the fibrous mineral.

Back in ’02, a Brown University professor made the same claim to McGill, but I guess since it just came from one guy they dismissed it. Now a crowd seems to be forming.
