Modern climate "science"
is not the only fake science !
The French International Agency
for Research on Cancer (IARC)
received over $48 million
from America’s National
Institutes of Health (NIH).
They have "tested"
over 900 chemicals,
and 899 were claimed
to be carcinogenic !
Complete nonsense !
The IARC has now
"tested" glyphosate,
the active ingredient
in RoundUp herbicide.
My wife and I happen
to use a gallon or two,
every year at home.
IARC colluded with
anti-chemical
activist groups,
and class action lawyers.
IARC manipulated
scientific reports.
IARC deliberately withheld
other studies concluding
glyphosate was safe.
IARC panelists inserted
a new statistical analyses,
that reversed the study’s
original finding,
saying glyphosate was safe.
NIH Cancer Research Institute scientist
Aaron Blair conducted a years-long study,
that found glyphosate was safe,
but he kept his study secret,
until after IARC published their "study",
so IARC would not have to mention,
his “unpublished” study in their report.
Fortunately,
the European Union
extended its authorization,
for glyphosate use,
but only for 5 years,
instead of the usual
15 years.
IARC rulings are used
by predatory lawyers,
to sue glyphosate
manufacturers.
IARC reviewers
told US congressmen,
who were asking questions
about their science,
to come to France,
if they wanted answers !
Congress authorizes
taxpayer funding,
for IARC,
but apparently
Congressmen,
have no right
to question
their work ?
Glyphosate is the
most popular herbicide
in the world, important
for modern agriculture.
Before the IARC "study",
there had already been
3,300 studies,
over four decades,
proving glyphosate
was safe.
Only IARC said
glyphosate causes cancer.
AIRC employed
Italy’s Ramazzini Institute,
to work on their study
-- Ramazzini had
falsely claimed
in the past,
that cell phones and
artificial sweeteners,
cause cancer.
Evidence is accumulating
that Ramazzini
worked closely
with anti-chemical
pressure groups,
and even trial lawyers.
The 2014 advisory group
that decided IARC
would review glyphosate
was led by activist statistician
Dr. Christopher Portier.
Shortly after serving
on the advisory group,
Portier signed up
with trial lawyers,
to work on their
glyphosate law suits,
and was initially paid
at least $160,000.
This is leftist fake science,
supported by US tax dollars,
used to drive safe chemicals,
off the market.
Thousands of US lawsuits,
already claim glyphosate
causes cancer.
No more US money
should be wasted on
IARC's junk science.
A revised Obama-era report
-- the new Trump version
of the EPA report, released
December 18, 2017,
only included
a few more studies
that don’t alter
the initial conclusions.
On September 12, 2016,
the EPA had issued
the first version of
their glyphosate report.
On December 18, 2017,
the United States Environmental
Protection Agency (EPA)
issued a paper titled
“Revised Glyphosate Issue Paper:
Evaluation of Carcinogenic Potential”
as part of a larger release
of its latest findings
on glyphosate, the main active
ingredient in the world’s
most used, and safe,
weed killer, Monsanto’s Roundup.
The reaction of the American press
on the 2017 EPA report
was almost complete silence.
When 300 million pounds
of glyphosate are used each year
in the US, one has to be sure of its safety.
From the glyphosate.eu website:
“Glyphosate has undergone more thorough toxicological testing than almost any other active substance used in pesticides.
As part of the latest risk assessment, the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) and the German Federal Institute for Risk Assessment (BfR) evaluated more than 3,000 studies.
They found no indications of nerve damage or of carcinogenic or mutagenic properties.
Nor is glyphosate associated with reproductive toxicity.
The public had been concerned, among other things, by a classification of glyphosate as a “probable carcinogen” (category 2A) by the IARC, the WHO’s cancer research agency.
However, the IARC does not look at actual risks to consumers, but at theoretical considerations.
It does not consider how the assessed substances are handled, or look at actual exposure to them in everyday life.
This explains why the same body has classified sausages and sawdust as “carcinogens”
(category 1A).”
