We are getting close to politics now. I did notice a very strong correlation between political party or "Conservative/Liberal) and opinions about climate change and GMOs.
To be fair, almost everyone believes scientific evidence that supports their pre-existing passionate beliefs.
Many people find fault with "alleged scientists" and "paid-for, biased, so-called studies" who dare to report observations that contradict their pre-existing passionate beliefs.
I made myself follow up many popular articles about GMOs. Many or perhaps even most anti-GMO popular articles had headlines as bad as "Scientific Study shows GMOs cause leukemia" ... but the studies they cited said no such thing. I found a nearly 100% correlation of very alarming but vague claims with what I thought could only be deliberate, reprehensible misrepresentation ... "liar liar pants on fire".
On the other hand, "proof of safety", if defined as "show me lots of 70-year studies of humans eating lots of "GMO foods" in carefully controlled studies of humans eating "organic" food" obviously don't exist.
And some studies that were clearly pro-GMO in prior bias and conclusions skated quickly over spots that should have been acknowledged as limitations of the method.
