Such is the case with a certain repentant environmentalist who once was against GMOs and now claims to have seen the "light of science". I suppose he realized that Biotech companies pay far more to their supporters than environmental organizations. So once starting the anti-GM movement now he's turned the other cheek to whore out for the biotechnology industries claiming that concerns over GMOs are nothing more than "anti-science" hysteria.
Actually, people are not against science or even biotechnology. I certainly am not. I admit that biotechnology could play a useful role in medical field, but the way its used in food like an uncontrolled science experiment is not acceptable. The version of science promoted by corporate whores is what you call "corporate science" or watered-down science that comes up with a conclusion before the experiment has even been done. Now that tarnishes the good name of science.
I'm not against a new scientific technology just for the sake of it being new either. GMOs are a commercial product and so opponents of GMOs are against a commercial product, not a "new technology". People have observed negative affects of GMOs and hold real concerns about this new product. If the GM lobby believed in its mighty science then it would allow independent scientists to conduct research into GMOs before allowing them on the market.
