No Connection between SV40 and Mesothelioma

As a lawyer, I sure didn't go to medical school and I suspect many a lawyer is as science- and math-impaired as I am. So, being able to evaluate what doctors say is quite hard unless you have another doctor or scientist to call the other one a quack. However, this study suggests that any connection between the SV40 polio vaccine and mesothelioma was caused by contamination in the testing procedures. So, all those plaintiff's lawyers trying to bring in the big pharmaceuticals into asbestos litigation just got a lump of coal in their settlement stocking. Of course, it's just another study and I'm sure there are studies that suggest the opposite. So, let the Daubert battles continue!
