      EDIT: based on another commenter, OP’s claim isn’t even factual.

      And it took the US until 1996 (after fall of USSR)? Not to mention that it was capitalism (General Motors) that spread the hoax about leaded gasoline being safe, under the guise of scientific research in 1921.

      This is not the gotcha you think it is.

          It was not uncovered until much later that this scientific research was in fact a hoax to promote General Motors’ business.

          This is very easily verified with a web search. I would be happy to guide you to specific sources and readings as well.
