Science journal retracts study on safety of Monsanto's Roundup: 'Serious ethical concerns'

I'm so glad this is happening! It's ridiculous that a company like Monsanto could just pay off scientists to write favorable studies about its products. The fact that they tried to keep it under wraps by hiding the true extent of their influence is just shady. I mean, can you even imagine if this was some kind of scandal in medicine? Everyone would be talking about it! But because it's 'business as usual' in the world of big pharma, nobody seems to care. It's time for more transparency and accountability in science, imo. The scientists who actually do good research deserve to see their work recognized, not just some ghostwritten study that benefits a company's bottom line. Let's hope this retraction is the start of something bigger!

I've been following the Monsanto saga for years, and I gotta say its about time someone called out the company's dirty tricks . I mean, who wouldn't want to get rid of a study that contradicts their product's safety record? It's like they expected us to just swallow it hook line and sinker .

I'm not surprised, though - we've seen this kind of thing happen before in the world of big pharma. The fact is, corporations have a lot of power and influence over research outcomes, which can lead to some pretty sketchy results . It's like they're buying their way into our understanding of science rather than relying on good old-fashioned research and experimentation.

This retraction is a big deal, though - it shows that even the scientific community won't stand for this kind of stuff anymore . I just hope it leads to some real change and more transparency in the way research is conducted. We need to make sure that science is driven by evidence, not industry interests .

man... this is just another example of how far we've come in holding big corps accountable for their actions . i mean, think about it, all these years people were using Roundup without knowing the real deal and now we're reaping the consequences . its crazy to think about how much industry influence can shape research outcomes... like, who needs transparency when you've got $$? anyway, good for Bayer for being called out on this one . its time for them (and us) to step up our game and make sure science is driven by evidence, not just profits .
