"Haspel had previously criticized Ruskin
for filing Freedom of Information Act (FIOA) requests to investigate
the ties between the agrichemical companies, their PR firms, and
academics at public universities. "
Read the link above to see why.
But wait, it gets better -
"Haspel’s column relied on sources who downplay risk (including fellow BLP faculty member David Ropeik, author of “How Risky Is It, Really?”),
used chemical industry talking points (salt fish is carcinogenic, too),
and ignored the most pressing health concerns about glyphosate — farmworker exposures and community exposures in heavily sprayed areas — to cast doubt on concerns arising from the recent listing of glyphosate as a probable human carcinogen by the world’s cancer experts."
