De-Healthification: Israel’s Engineered Collapse of Palestinian Life

.
🎯 This is not a surprise.

Pesticide Company to Stop Producing Weed Killer Linked to Parkinson’s Disease Syngenta is facing several thousand lawsuits from people who say they developed Parkinson’s after exposure to paraquat.

.
📌 Great news if there weren't generics. EPA: Ban this now! Other countries have.

Syngenta cited “significant competition” from generic producers and a “less than 1 percent” contribution to the company’s global sales as reasons for their decision. They didn’t mention the lawsuits. #paraquat #EPA
