And what about the claim that’s been floating around that the IDF had their helicopters just fire at everyone and anyone at the concert area? They’ve been calling that a conspiracy theory, but this really calls it into question.

The interesting thing about this is that Israel (and all of the IDF defenders across the internet) has been categorically denying that anything of this sort happened at all and have actively been calling it a conspiracy theory pushed by Hamas supporters.

Now that we have active proof it happened at least this one time, it calls into question their denial about other such claimed incidents, such as that the IDF had their helicopters just fire at anyone and everyone on the ground at the concert.

It really does seem like they went full Hannibal Doctrine.

Libertarians continuing to be trash people. Nothing new there.

First one: Oxidative stress biomarkers, ie caused by most things and also are largely irrelevant? Biomarkers don’t actually correlate to actual risk increases in themselves.

Second one: High long term exposure, ie being consistently doused in the stuff somehow, And is looking at meta-risk, so not actual risk of cancer development. Also, the 41% even therein is based on risk increase from the original numbers, not an absolute increase. Meaning the actual risk went from something akin to 0.4% over a lifetime to 0.55%. And this only applies to someone who has massive exposure repeatedly over a long period of time.

Third one: Has nothing to do with science or evidence of any kind. Judges in courts don’t know anything about science, hence why scientific experts and organizations actually research this stuff.

Fourth one: Is likely referencing studies already covered in #2, which again relies on actually understanding what the 41% is referring to.

In short, a lot of media fearmongering about science would be less effective if the general public understood statistics better.

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 seem to remember Facebook actively taking down videos critical of Trump back in 2016 and 2020. Hmm…

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.

And somehow none of us are surprised in the slightest.

Is this some sort of side conspiracy along with the “Covid vaccines are killing millions” claims?

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.

16 year olds can still have major negative long-covid complications from being infected.

Unfortunately, a fair number of people in medicine-adjacent fields that have less requirements on having knowledge on biology and vaccines, such as nurses and pharmacists, are anti-vaxxers.

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.

Our medical technology is too good at this point, we can keep the majority of the disease spreaders alive to continue spreading disease on purpose. A sad consequence of technological advancement.

If he kept the nuclear related documents just in the bathroom, what sort of top secret documents was he hiding in these places?

Your argument is similar to conservatives trying to ban all Drag Queen Story Time events because there was a single event that accepted someone that turned out to be a sex offender.

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).

The controversy of…checks notes telling people to donate to the UNRWA relief fund.

Meanwhile, Jerry Seinfeld just went to participate in an Israeli fantasy shooting camp where they have the targets set up to be Palestinians.

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.
