The activist group GM has attacked gene-edited crops by alleging that they're designed to increase pesticide use. Is there any truth to this allegation? With millions of COVID vaccine doses administered since  December 2020, what have we learned about the risks associated with the  shots?

Join ACSH directors of bio-sciences and medicine Cameron English and  Dr. Chuck Dinerstein as they break down these stories on episode 12 of  the Science Dispatch podcast:

Surgeons are frequently impatient, “never letting the skin get in the  way of the problem.” One of my colleagues repeatedly asks God, "Please  give me patience right away.” That seems to be the case for us that are  not scientists; we often are not patient enough for the data to unfold;  the data, in this case, some reliable findings on the incidence of  myocarditis and pericarditis associated with the COVID vaccinations.

Do biotech companies lie about the pesticide-saving benefits of  genetically engineered crops? The activist group GM Watch says yes. Do  they have a convincing case? Nope.
