Congress Moves to Shield Bayer from Roundup Cancer Lawsuits via Spending Bill

Congress is considering a provision that would immediately halt cancer lawsuits against Bayer for Roundup usage, prioritizing corporate immunity over consumer protection.

Short Summary

  • Congressional action (Section 453 of HR 4754) risks granting Bayer liability immunity previously held by vaccine manufacturers.
  • This provision shackles the EPA, aligning pesticide labeling exclusively with current agency findings, eliminating lawsuits based on emerging health concerns.
  • Bayer has already distributed $11 billion in settlements to 100,000 cancer plaintiffs but is now seeking full legal insulation through intense lobbying.

This segment dissects the proposed immunity provision tucked into a congressional spending bill. Understand how this legislation effectively bans future consumer litigation against Bayer/Monsanto concerning their glyphosate-based Roundup product.

Description

In this segment Jimmy exposes a provision in a congressional spending bill (Section 453 of HR 4754) that would shield Bayer—the maker of Roundup and glyphosate—from lawsuits claiming its pesticide causes cancer. He explains how this measure would effectively ban future litigation by aligning pesticide labeling exclusively with EPA determinations, even though the EPA doesn’t classify glyphosate as a carcinogen. Jimmy criticizes both the government and corporate lobbying, comparing Bayer’s behavior to Big Pharma’s legal immunity for vaccines and pointing to its historical ties to IG Farben, the Nazi-era chemical manufacturer.

HERE IS THE SMOKING GUN: Most illnesses $$$ originate via the food poisoning our government allows. So imagine if they clean the whole system from pesticides / chemicals etc... THE MEDICAL SYSTEM WILL COLLAPSE. THERE YOU GO!!! 🎉
