Incredible letter AEK! Thank you for that effort. It crystallizes quite an interesting fact pattern. If the person in question were not a “journalist”, I suspect such intimidation across state lines to prevent the presentation, though it took place anyway, might be framed as fraud and a crime? Could it be blackmail or extortion? I would want to know more but it worries me that this could take place under the authority and offices of the BostonGlobe/StatNews.
A journalist should observe and report. The reporter in question should have let Dr. Liau present and then made his report. Instead, what happened was that he intimidated her, tried to take credit for it by claiming there were nefarious forces at work (apparently he was protecting us all from them, he believed), and yet the presentation still occurred, and then he lied about the presentation, and did not report what was said but spun it by ignoring the gist of it and re-reporting what he has claimed for years without referencing what they said. But nowhere did he report some great research “fraud”. Dr. Mulholland has nothing to worry about, and neither would Dr. Liau ever had to worry about it either. But the person making the threats tried to suggest some other forces were at work for her not appearing.
In this case, the reporter has made himself the story. The story is no longer about NWBO or DCVax-L when it comes to the reporting in this case, but the reporter.
Some people have mental breaks. I think the reporter put his whole reputation into this, and then he was embarrassed by the Washington Post article, maybe he had to leave a job and get another one after that, and then there was the Federal Court case that used his columns as the basis of their complaint, and again the judge went through, point by point, dismissing the claims and dismissing the case.
Every step of the way this reporter has been refuted and yet over and over again he keeps coming back with more and more fantastical claims. And now, at this point he crossed a line. Intimidation by threats, what appear to be fraudulent threats to me, takes the reporter from outside of the frame to becoming a driver of the facts. That is deeply problematic. Really it is a matter for both the SEC and the FDA maybe the FBI. How can Pazdur meet with him in June as if he is a journalist when he is basically, this is my opinion, attempting to manufacture news in this manner.
I really wonder that the Boston Globe would countenance this kind of abuse of power using their offices and publication. It appears to be malicious and intentional activity calculated to create a story out of an arbitrary assemblage of details both manufactured and real, to tell a very narrow and twisted but ultimately false narrative. It is a narrative that appears to be intended to glorify this reporter and to erase previous bad acts of reporting and behavior. It is very difficult for me to come to any other conclusion.
Thanks again for letting us know the details re Dr. Liau. I am particularly sorry she did not get to make the presentation in such a wonderful context, and at an esteemed forum. What a terrible thing for the reporter, and by extension, the Boston Globe/StatNews, to have done to her by the use of their power and offices. This is a kind of an abuse of power that cannot stand.
