Bayer bought Monsanto, seemingly without realizing Monsanto’s potential liability for Roundup and glophosate. Now, it’s throwing everything it’s got at the government to shield itself (and every pesticide company) from liability, and it may well succeed. From Meryl Nass at substack.com:
2 pending Monsanto bills in Congress, pending bills in state legislatures, and a pending decision on Certiorari in the Supreme Court–all need to be defeated to stop this
Bayer is throwing everything they have at this challenge, because it is a threat to the company’s very survival. Below is from Bayer’s Roundup litigation website.
The information below was written by me as a Fact Sheet on this subject.
What would a pesticide liability shield do?
• If you are harmed or killed by a pesticide, your family will not be able to sue for damages or receive compensation
• There will be no incentive for manufacturers to make safer products
• And manufacturers do not even need to list all the ingredients in their products, if they claim they are “inert” or inactive ingredients, despite their toxicity–so you can’t even know what you are buying.
IG Farben and BIG pharmakeia oh my.
