Similar to the tactics used by the tobacco industry.  Same as the NFL and concussions/CTE.  Same as the energy companies claiming "what pollution?"

They'd gladly kill us all if it meant making another dollar.

Ditto for Big Tobacco who, for decades, denied the association between smoking and cancer, lung cancer, in particular.  There's always some "expert" whom can be paid enough money to say anything.  Just look at ID, or the Discovery Institute.
