Deliberate misrepresentation continues. Needleman attacks the whistleblowers, the NIH, and his own University to deflect attention from the indications of misconduct in his research. Federal agencies base policies on his research and on his assertions regarding the purported effects of low-level lead exposure on children. The policies divert resources and attention from the real needs of children. Misconduct issues will ultimately be resolved by the ORI and the courts. Public policy issues may require reconsideration in light of further evidence.
蓄意的虚假陈述仍在继续。尼德曼攻击举报人、美国国立卫生研究院以及他自己所在的大学,以转移人们对其研究中不当行为迹象的注意力。联邦机构依据他的研究以及他关于低水平铅暴露对儿童所谓影响的断言来制定政策。这些政策将资源和注意力从儿童的实际需求上转移开。不当行为问题最终将由科研诚信办公室和法院解决。公共政策问题可能需要根据进一步的证据重新考虑。
