  • Ho hum, like I haven't heard that before. I am simultaneously Big GMO, Big Pharma, Big Green Energy, Big Nuclear, and who knows what else based on what I've been called because I defend the science on any and all topics.

  • I don't care about the companies involved, but I do care about misinformation and pseudoscience being spread about known biochemistry and toxicology for a personal motive. Glyphosate is used in a wide variety of scientific fields that have nothing to do with agriculture and these lawsuits don't even attempt to prove the claims of cancer.

    They are entirely emotion-based jury decisions with the plaintiffs' lawyers going that route, rather than trying to provide scientific evidence for the claimed harm.

  • The annoying part about all of this legislation is that no scientific evidence is ever presented. If it does cause cancer, I would love for it to be definitively shown. But that's not even attempted in these lawsuits.

    The big original suit with the university gardener who (somehow) poured glyphosate all over himself and developed Hodgkin's lymphoma developed the lymphoma...within six months after the incident in question, with other symptoms indicating sooner than that even. And since the development of such a cancer and onset of symptoms takes around a year...which was before he ever started working at the university...their own timeline debunked the claim.

    But the jury seemingly ignored that little tidbit of scientific importance.

  • Especially since these specific soldiers are in the Psyops group that made this Telegram two days after October 7th, along with many other social media pages that were fully allowed and supported by the government.

    The idea this one group wasn't seems...unlikely.

  • The latter. This has been actively studied extensively over the past three years. There are minor potential risks from the vaccine (and from any vaccine, since the point is to cause an immune response), but I'd rather take my chances with side effects of my immune system reacting to a pretend infection than having to deal with the real one.

  • Even if it was confirmed, it was 4 people. Out of a non-profit of 10k+. Israel has presented no evidence that anyone else in UNRWA was involved in the actions of the individuals in question.

    They sure like to intimate that the entire organization is Hamas, but they have no evidence for the claim whatsoever (or they would be shouting it from the rooftops as their proof).

  • Did you miss how the Israeli government has been actively trying to censor Haaretz since they started doing proper journalism on what's going on in Gaza? There was even a political attempt to get them shut down.

  • It's weird that I have to inform you on how Lemmy/Kbin comment sections work, but when they get long enough, multiple pages of comments are made. They aren't all viewable on the same page.

    Look for the second (or more) page buttons at the bottom. It might blow your mind.

    You're looking for a top level comment by Binthinkin, by the way.

  • Shouldn't we instead be investigating the politicians currently in office that we have a really good reason to believe have a monetary tie to Russia and have a mountain of evidence of being coerced or controlled by them due to said politicians' past actions (going to a secret meeting to Moscow on July 4th, ect)?
