| | Colombian court thwarts glyphosate spraying of coca crops A Colombian court has ruled that the government cannot conduct anti-drug fumigation without the consent of rural communities, in a blow to plans to resume an aerial assault on coca cultivation. The Constitutional Court ruled in favour of rural, black and indigenous communities who sought judicial relief against government plans to renew spraying with the controversial glyphosate herbicide. They claim the chemical causes disease, destroys traditional crops and pollutes the water. Global Times COVID origin conspiracy? A string of unearthed emails — the most recent being a batch viewed by the House Oversight and Reform Committee — is making it seem increasingly likely that there was a conspiracy to suppress the notion that the SARS-CoV-2 virus had emerged from research funded by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), headed by Anthony Fauci, writes Nicholas Wade. The latest emails don’t prove such a conspiracy, but they make it more plausible, for two reasons: because the expert virologists therein present such a strong case for thinking that the virus had lab-made features and because of the wholly political reaction to this bombshell on the part of Francis Collins, then-director of the National Institutes of Health.
