組織宣告‘我們不需要轉基因作物’”謠言

自2011年開始，國內便開始流行“世界衛生組織拒絕承認轉基因食品安全”的說法。該觀點最早來源於“直言了”2011年所發表的貼文。該文引用了世界衛生組織2002年10月15日釋出的“Frequently asked questions on genetically modified foods”中的第8條。“different Gm organisms include different genes inserted in different ways. this means that individual Gm foods and their safety should be assessed on a case-by-case basis and that it is not possible to make general statements on the safety of all Gm foods.”“Gm foods currently available on the international market have passed safety assessments and are not likely to present risks for human health. In addition, no effects on human health have been shown as a result of the consumption of such foods by the general population in the countries where they have been approved. continuous application of safety assessments based on the codex Alimentarius principles and, where appropriate, adequate post market monitoring, should form the basis for ensuring the safety of Gm foods”。

他故意忽視了其整體所表達的“需要對以不同方式插入的各種基因進行逐案評估”、“允許上市的轉基因食品都經過了安全評估，其可能不會對人類建康產生危險”和“已消費轉基因食品的國家未發現其對人類健康產生影響”的整體意思，而將其曲解為 “聯合國沒說‘上市的轉基因食品都安全’”。

類似的，還有其對聯合國糧農組織檔案的曲解。其在多篇帖子中，引用聯合國糧農組織關於生物技術態度“Frequently Asked questions about FAo and Agricultural biotechnology”檔案中的第4條“despite what is sometimes said, we do not need Gmos to resolve the current world hunger problem. there is enough food for everybody, but millions of people are poor and simply do not have the money to buy food – that is why access to food is a major problem.”“FAo reco
