There are an increasing number of studies listing the harmful effects of glyphosate (Roundup) poisoning. So saying that "nobody ever got ill from GMOs" is patently false.

Conflating the herbicide with the crop. GMOs are only tangentially involved here. Roundup is used on lots of crops, including non-GMO crops.

Monsanto specifically makes genetically modified seeds (seeds they sell and have patented) to withstand Roundup (an herbicide they sell). That is the antithesis of being tangentially involved.
