Defying Science And Common Sense, New York Bill Would Ban GMOs In Vaccines [View all] HuckleB Feb 2015 OP

Woops! Chemisse Feb 2015 #1

How fucking stupid can some people be? What's next? Banning GMO created insulin? Liberal Veteran Feb 2015 #4

Alas, I would not be shocked to see that. HuckleB Feb 2015 #5

Ask your naturopath if Jimmy Dean Brand All-Natural Insulin is right for you. Liberal Veteran Feb 2015 #7

100% of ani-vaxxers i know are anti gmo. dilby Feb 2015 #6

I'm genuinely curious: Do you know what party these people belong to? n/t Buzz Clik Feb 2015 #33

However, a killed vaccine, or attenuated vaccine, is not the same as a genetically engineered vaccine. pnwmom Feb 2015 #8

You're looking at one part of the definition. HuckleB Feb 2015 #9

I'm looking at the definition the NIH uses. But I see what you're saying. pnwmom Feb 2015 #10

That's not really the point. HuckleB Feb 2015 #11

I think the biggest danger of GMO foods is that they allow farmers to heavily rely on herbicides pnwmom Feb 2015 #12

You keep repeating that unproven claim. HuckleB Feb 2015 #13

It is proven by the USDA's own figures. Apparently you don't trust the USDA, pnwmom Feb 2015 #15

You really think it's ok to push Benbrook? HuckleB Feb 2015 #16

If you don't like Dr. Benbrook, then rely on the USDA's numbers, pnwmom Feb 2015 #17

You just reposted the same article you posted above re: Benbrook's interpretation of the numbers. HuckleB Feb 2015 #18

Every scientist who's in Monsanto's pocket agrees. But many others don't. And it's just common sense pnwmom Feb 2015 #19

Oh, brother. No, many others do not. HuckleB Feb 2015 #20

Why do they make herbicide resistant crops? So they can use MORE HERBICIDES and the crops pnwmom Feb 2015 #21

You refuse to acknowledge the science, choosing to repeat unsupported anti-GMO cliches. HuckleB Feb 2015 #22

You refuse to acknowledge that herbicide-resistant GMO crops were developed precisely in order to allow pnwmom Feb 2015 #23

In other words, you are repeating your failure to acknowledge the science of the matter. HuckleB Feb 2015 #24

We don't know that today's herbicides are safer, because all the ingredients are not public pnwmom Feb 2015 #26

We both know that is simply conspiracy theory hyperbole. HuckleB Feb 2015 #29

You seem to be rather taken by Benbrook. HuckleB Feb 2015 #25

Unlike many of his detractors, Dr. Benbrook is not a shill for the pesticide producers. pnwmom Feb 2015 #27

Your emotion-based response and baseless, ugly attack against scientists and farmers is noted. HuckleB Feb 2015 #28

I'm not attacking scientists or farmers as a group. Just Monsanto and other shills. n/t pnwmom Feb 2015 #30

I beg to differ. HuckleB Feb 2015 #32

What is really basic stuff is what you won't admit: pnwmom Feb 2015 #35

You do realize that really poor article from 6 years ago was debunked in the links I've posted. HuckleB Feb 2015 #38

There is a continuing argument among groups of scientists -- Dr. Benbrook's work pnwmom Feb 2015 #39

You keep telling yourself that. HuckleB Feb 2015 #40

Mr. HuckleB is apparently the judge of who is "anti-science." immoderate Feb 2015 #36

Because scientists are a monolithic block, of course. pnwmom Feb 2015 #41

... Major Nikon Mar 2015 #49

As I said, scientists disagree. You are pointing to someone from "PG Economics" who disagrees. pnwmom Mar 2015 #50

Actually I'm pointing to the very link you provided Major Nikon Mar 2015 #52

I realize that. But all it proves is that there isn't a consensus of opinion, which was what pnwmom Mar 2015 #56

Actually it suggests the only outlier you seem to be able to provide is pretty much full of shit Major Nikon Mar 2015 #57

No, there are respected researchers in France and other countries who support Benbrook's work. n/t pnwmom Mar 2015 #59

Which still means you have provided exactly one outlier Major Nikon Mar 2015 #60

No, those scientists are doing their own research. There are multiple "outliers." n/t pnwmom Mar 2015 #62

But you failed to mention any of it Major Nikon Mar 2015 #63

Not true. HuckleB Mar 2015 #64

There is a BIG TIME consensus on the matter. HuckleB Mar 2015 #65

No, there are not. HuckleB Mar 2015 #54

Yes, if you had read the links I provided, all of that would have been explained much better. HuckleB Mar 2015 #53

I'm aware of that Major Nikon Mar 2015 #58

Got it. HuckleB Mar 2015 #66

The bill seems to allow those techniques bananas Feb 2015 #42

Anti-GMO silliness isn't far from anti-vaccine silliness in its bipartisan nature. HuckleB Feb 2015 #34

Hm... if that's a Guinness, all I have to say is Buzz Clik Feb 2015 #37

A little Kilbeggan to boot! HuckleB Feb 2015 #44

There can be no modern vaccines without genetic modification. longship Feb 2015 #43

Just came across this link on twitter on past problems w RotaTeq (genetically engineered vaccine). proverbialwisdom Mar 2015 #45

And you're posting more anti-vaccine BS. HuckleB Mar 2015 #46

Post removed Post removed Mar 2015 #47

And more links to NVIC. HuckleB Mar 2015 #48

Par for the course. When his bullshit is challenged, he simply throws more bullshit against the wall Major Nikon Mar 2015 #61

fyi progressoid Mar 2015 #67

This makes me a bit sad Major Nikon Mar 2015 #69

Pure gold. Nice work. HuckleB Mar 2015 #68

I've read up on him and he doesn't seem to be that clueless Warpy Mar 2015 #51

Of course, it has no chance of passing. HuckleB Mar 2015 #55
