Bayer Now Hoping Corrupt Lawmakers WIll Shield Them From Cancer-causing Roundup Damage Lawsuits

Excerpt:
"In a brazen bid to shield itself from a tsunami of lawsuits over its toxic Roundup herbicide, Monsanto (acquired by Bayer Pharmaceutical) has unleashed a multi-state lobbying blitz to secure immunity from liability, with Missouri as a key battleground.
The agrochemical giant, reeling from over $8.68 billion in pre-reduction jury verdicts and $11 billion in settlements, is pushing state legislatures to pass bills that would block "failure-to-warn" claims tied to glyphosate, Roundup's cancer-linked ingredient. "

Ironically, when being among the last to take the COVID shot in July, 2020, so that I could keep my shrug job, I asked for a safety data sheet, and the person administering it had no idea what an SDS was.
Roundup its used to desiccate almost every crop before the harvest: oats, wheat, corn, soybeans, the list is endless.
The reasoning goes like this:
Giant factory farms hire out the harvesting equipment and labor. The tractors and other harvesting tools cost millions of dollars.
The maintenance is prohibitive for individuals to own their own equipment, the level of technology is so advanced, only the manufacturer (i.e. John Deere) can fix it.
The scheduling is inflexible, if only part of the field is ripe, it can't be harvested.
Roundup makes it all dry at the same time.
Roundup is in practically everything you eat.
Roundup is banned in Canada, Europe, and many parts of South America and Africa.
Where it is banned, they will not buy American grown foods.
And the fact your food comes pre-soaked in glyphosate, is NOT stated on the label.
You are NOT being warned, you're being poisoned!
Wake up people.
life causes cancer
it can be proved with statistics that distilled water causes cancer
Great book: How to Lie with Statistics" My advisor made me read it in Grad School.
I'm sorry that some people contracted cancer from using it. The unanswered question was did all the users of the chemical abide by all the warnings on the chemical? I'm quite certain the answer is no. I'm quite certain they didn't read a single word of it!
So, just as ignorance of the law is no defense, ignorance of the side effects is not the company's responsibility, and must not be allowed to become the lawyer's windfall!!!
