Reply to comment by coughdrop1989 in A biotech firm says the U.S. has approved its vaccine for honeybees by BorgesBorgesBorges60

Show me where is said anything other than that the vaccine will help maintain bee populations suffering from the specific disease this vaccine was engineered for specifically in bee farms.

Show me.

? Never accused you of this? You've been very clear in your stance. This vaccine is for the bees on bee farms. My stance is that since pesticides inherently weaken their immune system and I know for a fact these bees aren't in a enclosed box to never ever see the world then their chance of running into a pesticide or herbicide of some kind is of great chance. This with a weakened immune system they can't fight off the mites they've been living with since we'll forever. Bees have been around for over 130 million years. You don't find just a bit coincidental that over that whole time frame in the 1940s they start going into decline? That's my stance never said this was really bad. Wouldn't be my first alternative which I've been very adamant about. Not sure where you're confused on where I stand on the matter.

Why are you still talking about wild bees.

Bee farmers dont have alternatives, this is the life we have so a vaccine is a good thing for bee farms and honey production.

We can make a vaccine and also be mad at pesticides.

That article says Monsanto doesn't even make pesticides. It's a lie and so the truth comes out. You are a Monsanto fanboy. Now that the dirty laundry is aired out we can go about our day. Kind of funny I never thought I would come in contact with someone who actually advocates for Monsanto. Good read though until the lies so that discredits the whole article unfortunately.

It does not say that. It in fact says Monsanto do make pesticides, it's sort of the point of the article. That's why Monsanto is the "unlikely ally" - it's really simple to understand actually. They wouldn't be an "unlikely ally" if they didn't make pesticides. If you actually read the article you would understand that.

You didn't read it, Don't lie. If you did you would know it doesn't say anything like you claim. It's pretty sad tbh.

Why would you lie about reading this? What a shitty trait to have as a human.

The rhetoric offended Hayes’ sense of fairness. He knew that environmentalists linked colony collapse to neonicotinoid insecticides and that they thought Monsanto was somehow to blame. But he also knew that Monsanto doesn’t make insecticides. The company’s most famous product, glyphosate—that’s Roundup—kills plants. Its second-most famous product—Roundup-ready seeds—allows plants to resist its most famous product.

I didn't read it huh? Okay.

You are really, really not very bright eh?

Roundup is weed killer.

What? I know what round up is but yea you're right I didn't realize that insecticides are pesticides but they mainly go after a certain stage in the pests life. The more you know. And you just don't stop with the insults do you?

Well you keep saying stupid ass shit and calling me a Trump voter or Monsanto Stan among tons of other things.

Your insults don't count tho, I guess? Mine are worse because I said swear words?

I should remind you that you claimed not all vaccines are important, that bee farms aren't a large enough of a population to matter, that the vaccine wont help with foul brood disease, that we shouldn't bother with it because other issues in the world exist, and that anyone who's pro this vaccine is a Monsanto Stan. You also backtracked on basically every one of these claims lol.

Whatever, kick rocks this isn't really fun anymore lol.

Edit: you also got mad about vaccine manufacturers then pretended you weren't anti vax.
