Another hysterical post claiming glyphosate is the worst thing since the apple eaten by Adam and Eve.

And what of this?

Environmental activists changed the original report from the World Health Organization which had cleared glyphosate to declare it a danger to the public health.

This is more "settled science" that the Left spouts to silence any critics. The fact is glyphosate was used for a long, long time and only now do we suddenly believe it is harmful - and that with little in the way of good substitutes.

A commenter had this to say about the hysteria over glyphosate:

Doctor Dunn is correct. This article relies almost entirely on the WHO - you know, the same jerks who promoted the Covid insanity - and some obviously tainted organizations with vested interests. The only credible source he cites is Dr. Robert Malone, who is certainly someone worth paying attention to but he's hardly all-knowing.

The fact is this glyphosate campaign bears all the earmarks of the Climate Change scam or the Covidiocy. It has followed the exact same pattern and of course the proponents whisper darkly about "the Bayer Industrialist Complex" when in fact Baer isn't even an American company so there is little reason for the U.S. government to bend over backwards and hide evidence that Roundup hurts people. This is just another "big oil money" accusation that upon reflection is ridiculous.

Many in the MAHA movement are suffering from rattling syndrome; the screws are rattling about inside their noggins.

I've seen this sort of alarmism many, many times before and know a con job when I see one.

I couldn't care less if we use Roundup or something different, but I DO care about the Truth - and the collateral damage caused by such campaigns. This will cost Americans more for food, no question. And it will hurt small farmers who rely on this herbicide.

As a slight aside there was a product made to end dandruff called Herpacide back in the end of the 19th and early 20th centuries. My grandfather said it caused SOME hairs to grow out of control, giving you a crazy hairdo and inspiring this song mocking the product:

Sung to the tune of Harrigan:

H E R P I C I D spells Herpicide

That's the kind of stuff that makes your hair grow

makes you look exactly like a scarecrow

H E R P I C I D you see

first you rub it then you crub it

then you scrub it then you rub and

and there's hair again, on me!
