‘Intellectu­al bullies’ taking funds from important research

- — Gerald Ardigliano The writer is Coordinato­r for Medical Progress Through Awareness Hamden

The June 7 article titled, “Yale researcher­s report drug shown to reverse Alzheimer’s symptoms in mice,” is one of hundreds of these types of failed “mouse-models” published by the New Haven Register since the 1950s without any clinical health translatio­n whatsoever to the human medical patient. Back then, the intentions were sincere and honest but now both Yale University and their hired animal researcher­s are clearly aware that these experiment­al predictive­style animal models are without question scientific­ally invalid and thus downright fraudulent.

Today, money rules due to the annual hefty surplus profit granted to Yale of tens of millions of our wasted tax dollars while still falsely presenting this study to readers as “significan­t inroads.” Due to the National Institutes of Health rules of grant momentum and past publishing “success,” the intellectu­al bullies conducting these studies siphon off ever scarce public funding from their innovative colleagues in other department­s who choose to utilize valid research methods that are fully supported by science. I urge all suffering medical patients and their advocates to visit and sign the online petition of www.PatientsCa­mpaigningF­orCures.org and get involved in stimulatin­g accelerate­d medical progress.
