Domingo M. Aviado, M.D. was a Council for Tobacco Research secret Special Projects #4 grant recipient. Aviado was a University of Pennsylvania professor and did work for tobacco companies. He did secret dog inhalation studies in 1970s which were apparently covered up since no research papers were ever produced. (B.C. 7/7/94).
His name appears on a list of 'court-declared' scientists and research organisations who were funded by the Tobacco industry to fake scientific results. The Council for Tobacco Research (CTR) was a scientific front group set up to pretend that industry-funding of research into all aspect of smoking and health was being carried out above-board. They established their credibility by making some grants openly and highly publicised; so proving that the industry behaved ethically. However other grants were laundered through a Special Account #4 (SP#4) which was specifically designed to hide payments from "discovery" in possible future court-cases or legislative hearing. This veil of secrecy allowed everyone to lie about both the research and the results. See list at CTR Special Projects

Court-declared list of scientists
Note: this is just a partial list of the scientists, academics and 'consultants' who were being paid via Special Project accounts. It deals only with the scientists known to the courts at the time it was compiled. Many other academics and professionals were paid via these accounts as revealed at later dates.
The Council of Tobacco Research (CTR) was a tobacco front group designed to promote the idea that science had not proven cigarettes were bad for your health. Those listed below were scientists funded by tobacco to confuse the scientific issues.
Grants made via the CTR's Scientific Advisory Board (SAB) may be legitimate (or not), but those made through the secret Special Account #4 were effectively bribes. |
