Bayer/Monsanto Roundup verdict: $300 million
Posted on 8/13/18 at 5:40 pm
Posted on 8/13/18 at 5:40 pm
California jury awards $300 million to terminal man who claims Roundup was the sole cause of his cancer. He used the product for two years while being the yardkeeper at a school. His team presented no proven scientific data to prove his claim. Bayer is going to get flooded with these types of lawsuits.
Think about all the commen items you find in households across the country that are not in the spotlight. This wasn’t a case of proving Roundup causes cancer, this was attacking the “boogeyman”. Would a jury in California vote different if he claimed casual cleaning with Lysol bleach caused his cancer? LINK

If you saw the documents re MonsAnto’s cover up, you would understand the verdict.

Roundup is literal carcinogen in a bottle.
Round up ready plants are food versions of the favorite carcinogen

This is cosmic karma for Monsanto screwing with small farmers and bankrupting them for patent violations.

Is there a link to view them?

The seeds are for one season to grow the plants that you pay for. If you try use their proprietary material to make more seeds, to use yourself or sale, then you are violating their patent material. If you dont like it, dont buy their seed its as simple as that.

I heard they were suing small farmers after their plants cross pollinated for stealing patented product

Alcohol is a literal carcinogen in a can. Household cleaners are considered carcinogens by the WHO. Glysophate is considered a probable carcinogen by the WHO. You probably shoudnt be putting Roundup in your bubble baths, but there has been no proof that reasonable exposure causes cancer

Your assertion that the claim is unproven is incorrect. At least in this first trial, the causal relationship between the cancer and glyphosate was proven.
And I’ll bet you that portion of the verdict withstands the appeal.

Ridiculous. They can't know what caused his cancer. Did it cause Jon Lester's and Arlen Specter's too. I hope this gets overturned on appeal.

Couldn't happen to a more deserving company. Monsanto routinely sprayed Roundup on people in the rainforest and on farms across the globe in order to wipe out the indigenous plants so that the farmers would have to purchase their seeds which were genetically modified to withstand Roundup.
This company has poisoned the earth and us at a rate that you will never understand. Cancer rates, ADHD, Alzheimers, Autism, Birth Defects, etc. etc. etc. are directly proportional to the use of Roundup. The product needs to be banned world-wide.

Except if your field is accidentally cross-pollinated by their proprietary seeds, and you collect seeds from your crop and use them the next year, they will sue the shite out of you.

That’s what the farmer claimed to the media, then when he went to court it came out that 95% of his field was Monsanto seed. That’s not cross pollination. That’s deliberate theft. Think it turned out that the farmer had noticed the cross pollination in part of his canola field, sprayed roundup to kill the crop that didn’t have the Monsanto gene, harvested those seeds and used those to plant his next year crop

There is more than one case of that happening. I agree that the aforementioned is in violation of Monstanto's patents and the guy was trying to avoid payment.

I saw Taleb talking about this yesterday and he thinks it's a big important victory for the people
You'll see thousands of lawsuits against them now
