Dear Dr. Egilman;
 
Thank you for informing us of the situation regarding citations by McDonald et al. in their 1995 letter we published; however, we do not have really any authority to address this matter.  It is the journals of your references 2 through 10 where the data was supposedly published that you need to contact. You could also contact the institutions where McDonald et al. are now.
 
Should this matter come to a resolution such that a correction or clarification is warranted in relation to either of the 2 references cited by McDonald et al. in their Science letter (vol. 267, p. 776 (1995)), we will certainly do so.
 
Sincerely,
 
 
 
Christine M. Pearce
Associate Letters Editor, Science

Dr. Egilman,

Thank you for your note. Let me do a little more digging into this. I will

talk to a couple of more colleagues and see what avenues we might pursue.

Have you discussed the situation with the Annals of Occupational Hygiene

where McDonald et al presented a "re-analysis"?

Sincerely,

Christine Pearce

Just to be clear the two articles McDonald cited are fine. In the

science letter which you published he misrepresented the contents of

those articles. It is Science that misrepresented the truth not the

other journals. I assume you do not care; this is a shame. I care that

millions of workers are being exposed to asbestos as a result and many

will die as a result of this "error".

Please don't bother on my account. I do not want to be accused of

harassing your journal. I will pay for full a page ad & publish it

myself. The Annals of Occupational Hygiene is completely corrupt &

controlled by McDonald & his friends. He was made the editorial writer

4 years ago. Again it is Science that published a fraudulent paper.

Science has the imprimatur of legitimacy.

The "re-analysis" published in Annals has nothing to do with McDonald's

misrepresentation in Science; the data he reported in Science isn't in

the "re-analysis".

Since McDonald mis-cited a reference in a Science article/letter, it

seems you have "authority" to ask him to correct the record. His

secretary acknowledged my letter to him & he won't answer me.

Please let me know as soon as possible since McDonald and his cohorts

are using the Science letter to push asbestos in the third world, to

prevent widows fom being compensated for the deaths of their husbands

and to block regulations all over the world.

Just to be clear Science is rejecting this for all types of ads and is refusing to publish a blank page that i will pay for with the following:
