Glyphosate, WHO, and Health Politics

This chapter explores the contentious classification of glyphosate as a potential carcinogen by the WHO, examining its political implications and the financial fallout for Bayer and Monsanto. The speakers critique the WHO's handling of the COVID-19 crisis, particularly their delayed recognition of airborne transmission and the influence of political considerations on scientific reporting. They argue for the need for effective leadership in global health governance to navigate the complexities of political interests during health emergencies.
