‘Quack science’ NaturalNews website blames glyphosate for Beau Biden’s cancer death

Yes, glioblastomas (and other forms of brain cancer) are nasty tumors. They’re one of the kinds of tumors that, admittedly, medical science doesn’t do that well with. Despite our best efforts, they usually eventually kill the patient, sometimes quickly, sometimes not-so-quickly, with few long term survivors. None of this stops Mike Adams, who runs the NaturalNews.com website (Mother Jones has called it an anti-science website) from proclaiming that Joe Biden’s son Beau was killed by chemotherapy and glyphosate.

Yes, in addition to his usual schtick about how it was chemotherapy, rather than the cancer, that killed a cancer patient like Beau Biden, somehow, some way Adams managed to bring genetically modified organisms (GMOs) into his rant and blame Biden’s death on a combination of the two. After affecting a faux sympathy for Beau Biden, Joseph Biden, and the rest of the Biden family, even going so far as to offer them transparently insincere “condolences,” Adams then gets to his real topic:

Frustratingly, I believe that Beau Biden, like hundreds of thousands of other Americans each year, was killed by a combination of chemotherapy, radiation and glyphosate. “He was diagnosed with brain cancer in August 2013 and underwent surgery, radiation and chemotherapy,” reports Reuters. “After getting a ‘a clean bill of health’ in November of that year, his cancer recurred in the spring of 2015, the vice president’s office said.”

This is depressingly of a piece with the very first Mike Adams “masterpiece” that I deconstructed way back in 2007. it’s the same sort of lies that Adams has been spreading for years and years.
