The same bogus sources that claim vaccines contain glyphosate

also report even higher levels of glyphosate contamination in, of all things, organic foods. In fact, they contain glyphosate in parts per million quantities, where the vaccine contamination was measured in parts per billion. That means that organic foods are 1000 times more dangerous than vaccines. Imagine that!

Apparently, it's now no longer safe to eat at all, nor to drink water, which is also contaminated with this herbicide. In fact, according to the sources so often cited by anti-vaxxers, EVERYTHING now contains glyphosate.

A total fast is the only protection, and possibly not even breathing the air in most places, which also has glyphosate in the dust and other microscopic particles we all inhale.

We will all die very soon, according to these websites and organizations. All hope is lost.

Disclaimer: Since I do not approve of the sites to which I refer, I will not link to them. Googling "glyphosate in organic food" will lead you to such websites as naturalnews.com and other fake science sites with articles on all this. Googling glyphosate in almost anything will take you to the same websites, thus proving my point that taking anything at all internally is a veritable death sentence. Try "glyphosate in air" as an example.

It's on the Internet, so you know it's true...

This hysteria based on misunderstanding of even basic science is maddening to read.

We need critical thinking taught in schools, including a rudimentary understanding of probability and statistics, but the powers that be don't seem to want that. Of course, it's easy to see why not: it would turn our kids into questioners who don't uncritically accept the claims of authority, politicians, advertisers, hucksters and religion.

Who could possibly want that?

Anyone can find Internet sources to support anything they can imagine. The Internet has no filters. It holds both information and misinformation. Only by using critical thinking can one separate the two.

You are correct. We need to be teaching that skill to everyone, from children to old geezers like me. Anything sourced anywhere on the Internet must be carefully fact-checked before accepting it. Otherwise, we believe bullshit as often as fact. That is a sad state of affairs, in my opinion.

tell them there is DDT in everything (there actually is because it is so persistent). In addition, if you were born after the nuclear age, you have strontium in your bones.
