Spreading a message based on decades of rigorous research as opposed to fear-mongering based on pseudo-scientific "studies"? Do tell.
It is impossible to cover up anything nowadays. Not even the most powerful of companies are immune. Why do you think some of the richest companies in America shift production and sales of products overseas? Because there's no way they'd get them to pass US regulations, which are strict enough. Europe is a different thing. That's the place where scientists get convicted for not predicting earthquakes and headscarves are banned.
Want MY point of view? Well... here you go:
Why Are Environmentalists Taking Anti-Science Positions? by Fred Pearce: Yale Environment 360
You can be for a position, but you can't ignore the evidence that goes against it. Which is why I'm not against GMOs, because the evidence against the anti-GMO position is pretty damn overwhelming.

We don’t have to be slaves to science. There is plenty of room for raising questions about ethics and priorities that challenge the world view of the average lab grunt. And we should blow the whistle on bad science. But to indulge in hysterical attacks on any new technology that does not excite our prejudices, or to accuse genuine researchers of being part of a global conspiracy, is dishonest and self-defeating.
