Edward T. Haslam is an American author who investigated Dr. Mary Sherman and a "web of medical secret-keeping that began with the handling of evidence in the JFK assassination and continued apace, sweeping doctors into cover-ups of cancer outbreaks, contaminated polio vaccine, the arrival of the AIDS virus, and biological weapon research using infected monkeys."[1]
Background
Haslam was born in Kansas in 1951. Soon afterwards, his father was appointed to a teaching position at Tulane Medical School in New Orleans. As a child he got to know one of his father's colleagues, Mary Sherman.
Haslam was educated at the Jesuit High School in New Orleans. Haslam had teachers, classmates and friends whose family members were involved in the investigation carried out by Jim Garrison. As Haslam himself points out this gave him an "insider perspective" of these events.[2]
In the 1970s Haslam worked with the piano-player Professor Longhair. When he died in 1980 Haslam got out of the music business and pursued a career in advertising. This included the managing the advertising campaigns for the Chrysler Corporation. As he pointed out: "I went from Professor Longhair to Lee Iacocca in 8 years".[2]
Activities
In 1990 Haslam began to investigate the death of Mary Sherman and her relationship with David Ferrie. In July, 1995 he published Mary, Ferrie & the Monkey Virus.[2]
Haslam continued his research and in 2007 he published Dr. Mary's Monkey.[1] In the book he looks at the connections between Mary Sherman, Alton Ochsner, Patrick J. Frawley, Ed Butler, David Ferrie, Guy Banister, Lee Harvey Oswald and the assassination of John F. Kennedy.[2]
Haslam argues that "Ochsner's hospital was one of the 159 covert research centers which the CIA had admitted to setting up." Haslam believes that Ochsner recruited Mary Sherman to run the research operation The basic project was set up March 23, 1962, using conventional facilities, which then expanded out of the loop for its final phases. Haslam believes that Sherman was involved in carrying out secret research into developing a vaccine to prevent an epidemic of soft-tissue cancers caused by polio vaccine contaminated with SV-40. This work included using a linear particle accelerator located in the Infectious Disease Laboratory at the Public Health Service Hospital in New Orleans. According to Haslam there was a second-lab working on this project. This was being run by David Ferrie on Louisiana Avenue Parkway.[2]
