Just as Frank Serpico clashed with his NYPD peers - from his appearance to his political views - so is the dynamic between Jeremy and his peers. According to our inside man, some of these guys deal with dirty data for their personal gain. I'm not talking big bucks, here. We're talking about something worth way more in certain circles. It's authorship, baby.
On several occasions, Jeremy has declined offers of authorship for his participation in data analysis. His reasons have ranged from not feeling he contributed much to the project, to not wanting to be associated with shady statistical methods. This has caused more than one set of eyebrows to be raised. So far he's been able to stay under the radar. My feeling that it is only a matter of time before a couple of his teammates take him on a ride in a nondescript, dark colored sedan to have a private chat.
Friends, I bet you had no idea of the drama and corruption associated with public health statistics.
I don't want to go into too much detail here, but I did want you to be aware. If strange people from the government contact you with questions about Jeremy - no matter how legit they appear - you've heard nothing and know nothing. Got it?
