How to Work Like Edward McSweegan

Actually, biowarfare scientist Ed McSweegan works very hard. He is engaged in the following work:

1. Liaising and trying to recruit biowarfare scientists from the Soviet Union. (He has been involved in this work since before the fall of the USSR, when he was a federally-employed "scientific diplomat" sent out to the area.

2. Publishing and promoting misinformation on Lyme disease detrimental to patients (he is the former Lyme Programme Officer at NIH, removed in the 90's for harassing patient advocacy leaders). Recent information indicates Lyme disease is studied as a biological warfare agent, hence the lack of transparency from federal scientists on this issue.

3. Harassing, libelling and issuing death threats to those engaged in exposing pertinent facts about Lyme disease. (See for example, informatin on the internet about his treatment of the Lyme Disease Foundation director Karen Forschner.)

So you see, he keeps himself busy.

There's a word for that, which you probably know: sinecure.

I've been looking for one of those all my working life.......
