Bayer, the Germany-based owner of the former Monsanto Co, is the chief architect of the strategy, designed as a means to beat back thousands of lawsuits filed by farmers and others who blame their use of Monsanto’s Roundup herbicides for causing them to develop cancer.

Surprise!

Yo those are the same people that invented that cough suppressant. I think they called it "heroin". Supposed to not be addictive, unlike morphine!

People who are dependent on things for their livelihood or their political beliefs tend to view those who are complaining as ratbags. If they, themselves, are suddenly negatively affected and need help, they have an epiphany.

It’s always the same, social security is a rort until you’ve lost your job or can’t work anymore. Climate change is a scam until your house gets burned or flooded and you can’t get insurance.
