GMOs too. Completely unjustified backlash for a technology with incredible potential.

The main selling pitch for vaccines and GMOs was not "this will take your livelihood!"
Fuck Monsanto and their patents on seeds
Don’t even.

Unlike vaccines, the patent misbehavior by Monsanto says otherwise about GMO.

That's not an issue with GMOs. That's an issue with patents and attempts to restrict replanting.
That’s basically the face of GMOs, so it is an issue for GMOs. GMOs for whatever reason have a terrible ambassador and I haven’t seen evidence to the contrary.

For vaccines, a good portion of the population remember vaccines being developed and marketed to help people. Then there are immigrants that remember more recently how life changing vaccines are.
