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).
If you’re convinced and have receipts, you can report the user to the COI noticeboard.
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.
Ah, makes sense. But my optimist side says that surely the paper would be republished.
From what I understand from the article is that the correlation is there, but no causality (yet). I find it extremely good how cautious the doctor is phrasing his analysis and the article is also not blowing up where nothing is proven.
Figuring out the Parkinson's linkage is challenging too, because glyphosate is just one of many chemicals used in agricultural settings. It wouldn't be surprising for the correlation to be caused by another chemical with strong evidence of casual linkage to Parkinson's that itself is correlated with glyphosate, like Parquat. (Since Parquat is a herbicide, places that used it may also use (or have switched to) glyphosate.) Totally worth continued scientific study.
You know you can add properly sourced info to Wikipedia right?
