The record
Dr. Anne McTiernan, testifying as an epidemiologist, expressly declined to comment on the memo, stating "I have not seen the memo" when Rep. Khanna asked her to characterize it and to say whether J&J acted in deliberate disregard of the risks.
Claim scope
The one scientific expert on the panel did not endorse any characterization of the memo. Her answer addresses the general ethics of promoting a non-therapeutic product carrying risk, not the memo and not the company's intent.
What this source does not establish
It does not support any claim that an expert witness testified the memo showed deliberate disregard, targeting motivated by risk knowledge, or racial intent. Anyone citing McTiernan for such a proposition is misreading the transcript.
Limitations
CRITICAL FOR THE PAGE: If AsbestosAtlas quotes the exchange, it must include the hedge. Quoting Khanna's question without McTiernan's 'I have not seen the memo' answer would misrepresent expert testimony as agreement.
