‘People who are opposing GMOs…are leading to preventable deaths’

We throw away 1/3 of our food. How is wanting GMO labeling going to kill lots of people? What deaths are going to be prevented? That is what the headline asserts. I see no defense, argument, or other of the point. How are those people going to die and how many?

I’m skeptical of GMOs. It depends on the nature of the modification. The GMO might benefit crony agribusiness, but are the fruits and vegetables as nutritious or healthy?

Any vaccine will have a percentage of bad side-effects including death. They are not 100% save. And the disease is not 100% fatal. Over 100 died from side-effects of the Measles vaccine. One death from actual measles.

Break a CFL light-bulb and they tell you to evacuate your house for hours because of the mercury, but it is OK to inject it directly into your newborn’s bloodstream? Is Mercury toxic or not?

Antibiotic resistance is a huge problem, so maybe we shouldn’t give them to (non-infected) livestock to create more disease resistance. Neither you nor Stossel mention that.

Science is neutral. Crony capitalist apologists are as bad as the fear-mongers. Science can only say what is, and even that with uncertainty. It is up to individuals – it’s called “liberty” – to make decisions based on information – and weigh the risks on both sides and freely make a decision. Not have the decision made by Pfizer, Monsanto, or Obama.
