1 because of the case reports? Page 3612 2 A It doesn't matter how many. I can give you 3 this short story. 4 In 1991 two German authors, Woiderwitz and 5 Rodelsperger, the authors we have looked at, published 6 in the American Journal of Industrial Medicine saying 7 they have seen 40 cases of mesothelioma in garage 8 mechanics. And they published that as a short article 9 in the journal. 10 I read that article and I said wait a 11 minute, we already have studies on the subject, why do 12 we have to rely on case reports anymore. So I wrote 13 to the journal. 14 And Dr. Selikoff, at that time he was still 15 alive, he published my article saying that we have 16 studies, we don't need to look at case reports 17 anymore. 18 And the two German doctors respond in the 19 same issue of the journal saying that well, we are 20 doing a case control study, we will know the result 21 very soon.
