In this file photo taken on July 9, 2018, customer Gary Harms shops for Roundup products at a store in San Rafael, California. - Shares in German chemicals and pharmaceuticals giant Bayer plunged as markets opened on March 20, 2019, after a second US jury ruled that blockbuster pesticide Roundup -- made by recently-acquired Monsanto -- causes cancer.

Investors have clobbered Bayer’s share price since the acquisition, sending it tumbling downward more than 30 percent. Jurors will now determine liability and damages. As Bloomberg reported, they will hear evidence that Monsanto manipulated public opinion to hide health concerns and boost sales.Bayer insists that Roundup products and their active ingredient are safe to use.

What’s new? Major corporations will pollute/poison people on a regular basis, & the government will do nothing. Motel6 is repeatedly named worst popular hotel chain in the country and a target of human trafficking and sex predators, yet people still go.

UnclearLAS Bayer is also advertiser on FoxNews... just pointing it out.

With all the chemicals we have out there why blame Bayer. This is why you need good ventilation & should wear masks when you use any chemicals. Bayer produced a great product which are their aspirins. They even coated them, which was really smart. Steroids should also be coated

Yeah so can you please stop making this s*** and advertising it every time I scroll Twitter some site has a Roundup ad and yesterday on TV a round up ad. no do away with this immediately you don't need to spray weeds pull them up

Twitlertwit And it’s not always true that what goes down must come up again. Bayer Monsanto Roundp glyphosate

Why do ppl voluntarily expose themselves to ☠️? Corporate brainwashing is why. Bayer-Monsanto tried to normalize ingesting ☠️. It could only work until real science caught up 2 their criminality. Now they make seeds whose genes r packed with ☠️. ORGANICforall!

Not a big surprise that weed killers can also be people killer. Ok: we're not talking Agent Orange, but still.

Plus Zyklon-B killed 11 million

I can’t wait for a “jury” to decide the earth is flat or that the moon landing was faked.

Excellent!!! Serves them right!!!

Weeds won't poison or eat you alive.

Good Bayer still advertising on TuckerCarlson . They profit from poisoning the environment

Yet it’s still on the market, so more people will get cancer from the toxic product.

HomeDepot lowes please stop carrying RoundUp!!

My wife says no more even though it works really well and we live in an semi-urban environment. Into the hazardous waste center it goes.

U.S. jury finds Bayer's Roundup caused man's cancerA U.S. jury on Tuesday found Bayer AG's glyphosate-based weed killer caused... Good. As a former employee, good. it’s not just from spraying weeds in your sidewalk. politicians gave the green lights to spray it on crops (cereal, oats everything). It is an endocrine disrupter that messes up a lot of stuff. I wonder how the jury came to the conclusion that glyphosate causes cancer when literally all regulatory agencies in the world (including the US) say it does not.
