Said paper is from 2013, 6 year without being confirmed or with being repressed?

It's been cited 155 times.

Probably just gone unnoticed, ignored or suppressed by mainstream media.

Edit: am I being downvoted by the same people who think voter suppression isn't a thing or pointing out China's mass incarceration of Uyghurs is propaganda? What in the fuck, Hacker News. I expected more from you people.

Its been cited 155 times. Which directly contradicts the pointless, obviously false claim that its been 'suppressed'. Combined with the paranoia about downvote reasons, and I suspect a troll.

The suppression is real, but not in a comic book conspiracy theory sense. Monsanto has been doing disinformation around glyphosate for a very long time, and stirring up controversy and character assassinations around these (admittedly speculative and unconventional) scientists and others. That's all that's needed for more orthodox members of the scientific community to start using words like "quack" and "pseudoscience".

this paper has so many "maybe" in its conclusion, trying to tie every possible human disease with glyphosate, it is hard to take it seriously. Almost surprised they did not try to link climate change with Glyphosate usage.

On a related note, having a ton of links to other studies proves nothing at all so if this is what you rely on to make a point this is very weak.
