Letter: On research bias and corporate influence (1)

Published 25 June 2025

From Paul Goddard, Bristol, UK

In your recent interview, Tracey Woodruff says that corporations are new disease vectors. What a wonderful analogy… companies acting like parasites spreading disease. Yes, they really do and they try to blame the customer. Hence the water companies, to provide another example, take huge bonuses and dividends while polluting waterways with sewage and failing to collect enough fresh water, all the time blaming us for using too much and, presumably, also producing too much effluent(7 June, p 36).
