This is a systematic problem, the exact same thing happened with leaded gas already (industry sponsored scientists spreading misinformation on toxicity, lawfare against scientists that uncover/publish inconvenient truths) but there were zero consequences.

Our current system makes it much too easy to hold on to profits even when direct negative externalitites cost millions of human life-years.
