Episode notes
Glyphosate Is Widespread And Litigated
- Glyphosate is ubiquitous in the food supply and appears in urine, placentas, breast milk, sperm, and rainwater.
- Monsanto/Bayer face repeated litigation and have sought federal liability immunity for glyphosate exposures.
Agrochemical Companies Seeking Immunity
- Chemical manufacturers are seeking a federal liability shield like the 1986 vaccine immunity model.
- They tried to slip protection into appropriations and are pursuing the issue via the Supreme Court and the farm bill.
Regulatory Science Compromised
- Monsanto ghost-wrote a journal report used by the EPA to claim glyphosate is safe.
- That paper was retracted, meaning regulatory decisions rely on potentially fraudulent science.
