I wanted to see how fast the shills came in, lol. "But it's owned by Bayer and we created and paid for studies that none of this true!"

According to the city, “approximately 99% of the PCBs sold in the United States were manufactured by the Monsanto Company,” which the city says knowingly concealed the risks of the carcinogenic chemicals. Due to their heavily chlorinated structure, PCBs are resistant to degradation once they enter the environment and cycle through air, soil and water. Most humans exposed to PCBs today encounter them by consuming contaminated fish or shellfish, and the lipophilic chemicals build up in skin, fatty tissue and the liver once they enter the human body.

I recall around 2010-2012 RoundUp was so insanely shilled out on reddit. If you mentioned it negatively, people would quickly come “correct” you - and their profiles, oddly, showed they only discussed Roundup on a bunch of random subs, like clearly they’d search for the term. Huh.

They've done it here once but they didn't seem to get the memo this time. Glad to see it.
