Did GMO connection prompt Gates Foundation to halt support for corn-aflatoxin breakthrough?

|

The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation is famous worldwide for using its $37 billion in assets to deliver vaccines, treat HIV, improve health for the world’s very poor, encourage sustainable farming and fund medical research.

But is the world’s largest private foundation backing away from certain advances involving genetic modification of food? Monica Schmidt, a plant scientist at the University of Arizona, has been studying the ability of “interference RNA” (RNAi) to switch off the production of aflatoxin, a persistent and hazardous toxin, in corn. Her work has shown a great deal of success—an earlier study showed RNAi shut down all corn aflatoxin—but the Gates Foundation turned down her proposal for a grant.

 My Take - This is an excellent example of how irrational, misanthropic and morally defective is the green movement and their infiltration into science and policy making.  Bill Gates should be ashamed of himself.  What would be the results of the Gates Foundation making a public announcement they were going to support GMO research and implementation?  They'd be attacked even more voraciously than the left attacks Trump.  Marcus Aurelius once said, “The object of life is not to be on the side of the majority, but to escape finding oneself in the ranks of the insane.”  It looks like it's too late for that.
