    Interestingly, the wikipedia article on glyphosates says basically nothing about their role in Parkinson’s and instead focuses on debunking cancer claims.

    Absolutely not suspicious at all.

      It’s because Wikipedia requires sourcing on claims and Bayer puts in extra effort to get scientific papers removed or “debunked” (find the tiniest, irrelevant flaw and then lobby hard to get it retracted).

          They aren’t saying the issue is Wikipedia. They’re saying that the actual sources are being either revoked by the publishers, or excessive money is dumped into studies that would muddy the water about the findings of any negative sources.
