The Ford item will be placed on the website -- in the "Conflicts" file.
There is little doubt about the seriousness of the problem. See the

Dear RoyIt was an excellent summary you wrote about the power of industry on
science and the danger. After I joined your EMF-line I have become very much
aware of this. It has opened my eyes for what has happened in the last years to
research on EMF, especially with respect to mobile phones. Research in Denmark
used to be financed primarily by state funds i.e. independant of industry. Now
they are following the examples of the US and universities are urged to
cooperate with the industry. Large companies pay for specific professor
positions and institutes etc. One university is in reality already owned by
large electronic and telecommunication companies and all their electronic
engineering graduates go directly from university to a well-paid job in one of
these companies. There is no research done at this university only developmental
work on new and stronger mobile phones. The same will happen at other
universities, also with respect to medical sciences and the pharmaceutical
industry. Independant science is starved. Also in the European union the various
programmes, dealing with EMF and health, the membership is dominated by
scientists that have strong links with industry. Therefore negative health
effects due to EMF will always strongly be denied as non-documented. Another
prevailing view is, that they need to have a positive relationship with industry
to get the information.Fortunately there are still scientists, that are not
involved in this circus, but things are not easy for them and there will be
fewer of them all the time.Sianette Kwee
