Bayer/Monsanto lost another cancer lawsuit, this time with punitive damages of 2 billion dollars for covering up the danger of glyphosate. The company continues to try to cover it up, citing the bogus science that it constructed.
The real corruption of science by big business (tobacco, pesticides, oil) causes indirect dangers as well as its direct harm: it inclines people to suspect any and all science of being corrupt.
Science is a system for finding and correcting errors. It includes lots of wrong results, and subsequent research corrects them sooner or later. Take for example the fraudulent research that reported that a vaccine caused autism: because the issue was important, large studies were funded and they conclusively showed this wasn't true.
To keep science repeating a bogus conclusion takes a continuing campaign employing corruption in many ways that support each other, and that costs a lot of money.
