Starting on July 7, 2016, the Wall Street Journal starting interviewing LuminOre CopperTouch for an article it was writing regarding antimicrobial copper. We were interviewed until July 25, 2016. When the article was ready for publication, we received the following email:" Thanks again for taking the time to chat with me! Unfortunately my editors had to cut your quotes and the mention of CopperTouch out of this story for spacing, but would love to keep in touch as the technology and use progresses".In our opinion, it looked very much like powerful outside forces influenced the decision to eliminate LuminOre CopperTouch from the article. For them to take the most cost-effective amassing antimicrobial copper surfaces and not give it an honorable mention.With this omission, a great disservice was done to the general public.
