Big Chemical Ag wants IMMUNITY from LAWSUITS for their mass genocide of farmers and consumers who ingest and consume their deadly pesticides

Big corporate farming states in the USA use deathly pesticides, insecticides and herbicides to kill bugs, worms, beetles, rabbits, frogs, birds and humans who eat their crops. This makes them lots and lots of money. By killing off all the pests with chemicals, they have bigger yields, and that’s a cash cow they don’t want to hinder at all. By making humans sick with cancer and dementia from their farming chemicals, the Big Ag CEOs and CFOs can invest in cancer “care” diagnostics, equipment, chemotherapy drugs, and other Pharma cash cows, and that deepens their pockets even further. This is why Big Corporate Ag companies are lobbying (paying off politicians) for legislation that would make it impossible for the sick and dying humans to sue them, in the same way the insidious vaccine industrial complex has complete immunity to lawsuits for people dead and dying from the deadly jabs.

Farmers fight back: Bayer faces legal and legislative battles over Roundup cancer claims

For decades, glyphosate — the key ingredient in Bayer’s herbicide Roundup — has been a staple on American farms, praised for its effectiveness in boosting crop yields. But now, thousands of farmers and agricultural workers allege it gave them cancer, sparking a wave of lawsuits and legislative battles. As Bayer pushes for legal immunity in multiple states, families like Ray and Margarette Bickel of Iowa are fighting for accountability, claiming Roundup’s unmarked risks cost them years of health and happiness. Ray Bickel spent 14 years spraying Roundup (contains 50% carcinogenic glyphosate) across Iowa’s corn and soybean fields, trusting its safety. In 2017, he was diagnosed with two cancers — chronic lymphocytic leukemia and stage three rectal cancer — which his doctors linked to pesticide exposure. Now terminally ill, Bickel is among 181,000 plaintiffs suing Bayer, arguing the company failed to warn users of glyphosate’s risks. “It didn’t have a warning about cancer,” Bickel said. “I assumed it was safe.” His wife, Margarette, added: “It’s taken years off his life. How can lawmakers shield the companies responsible?” Bayer, which acquired Roundup-maker Monsanto in 2018, has lobbied for “pesticide immunity” laws in nine states, including Iowa and Missouri. These bills would block lawsuits based on inadequate warning labels if the product complies with federal EPA standards — which currently deem glyphosate safe. Opponents, like the Iowa Farmers Union, argue the laws prioritize corporations over public health. “Farmers are liable for mistakes — why aren’t pesticide companies?” said union president Aaron Lehman. Bayer counters that the bills are narrowly focused. “This isn’t blanket immunity,” said spokesperson Jessica Christiansen. The EPA maintains glyphosate is non-carcinogenic, but independent researchers disagree. The World Health Organization’s cancer agency (IARC) classifies it as “probably carcinogenic,” citing links to non-Hodgkin lymphoma. A 2021 meta-analysis also found elevated cancer risks among glyphosate users. Critics, including University of Missouri public health expert Lynelle Phillips, say industry-funded studies downplay dangers. “The data Bayer relies on has flaws,” she noted. Meanwhile, Bayer warns that restricting glyphosate could threaten food security — a claim displayed on billboards across farm country. As Bayer weighs abandoning glyphosate production due to legal costs, the debate rages on: Is Roundup a farming necessity or a health hazard? For the Bickels, the answer is clear. “They took my husband’s health,” Margarette said. “Now they want to take our right to fight back.” With immunity bills stalled — for now — in key states, the clash between corporate interests and farmer safety remains unresolved, leaving families and lawmakers at a crossroads.
