Wow. Corruption.[/quote]

Nah, expert witness for a lawsuit against J&J.

Here's a link to the abstract of the study he co-authored: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40804730/
It was a review of other studies suggesting an "association" between acetaminophen use during pregnancy and a variety of neurodevelopmental disorders. The lawsuit against J&J was dismissed, and the conflict of interest statement with the abstract says he testified only as to general associations. The study recommends limiting Tylenol use, which is reasonable. Other researchers have pointed out that the conditions for which women might take tylenol could themselves affect development.

But maybe he wants the administration to also like him.

I couldn't find anything in his Harvard bio to say he is an MD. Doctors can be sanctioned for misleading testimony as expert witnesses. He said he was paid for 200 hours of work on the case. I once tried to find an expert witness for legal action related to my kid's IEP. This was in 2005 and the woman wanted $1000/hr. That would include travel time, any hours she spent waiting to give a depo or to be calle as a witness, etc etc. I couldn't afford to do that (and SCOTUS had ruled parents cannot recover expert witness fees in IDEA lawsuits if they win althugh they can recover legal fees).
