Not sure how you sue for something you were successfully sued for in court and pounded into the dirt.

But the threats to science come from all sides as everyone wants the dominant source of truth on their side.:(

That's what worries me, silencing science. If they disagree with the study, do more studies and extended the discussion.

The only way this suit ends well for humanity is if at the end the judge has enough common sense to issue a multimillion dollar settlement back to the scientists named to absolutely chill this type of corporate behavior immediately.

It almost certainly won't happen and we're probably fucked... But hey, we can dream, right?!
