It’s unfortunate that the plaintiff attorney couldn’t produce an SDS (Safety Data Sheet) pertaining to the Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) the attorney had referenced. The SDS is mandated by OSHA. At one point, the SDS also contained language pertaining to IARC’s 2A -Probable Carcinogen classification.
Global regulatory agencies did NOT study the “product” - that’s bullshit - they reviewed glyphosate only, which is only part of the product. FIFRA clearly defines the difference between a ‘pesticide’ (Roundup) and an ‘active ingredient’ and it’s misbranding provisions and labeling requirements pertain ‘pesticide(s)’ not active ingredient(s)’.
So, again, it’s false to state that regulators studied the product, the product is Roundup formulations, which are indisputably more toxic to all living organisms, including humans, than glyphosate. Monsanto intentionally didn’t study the “product[s’]” adverse effects; however, the company was well aware of its toxicity.
The EPA and it’s labeling requirements are also based off of Monsanto’s acute toxicity data they provided to EPA. The chronic adverse effects of Roundup were buried- Dr. Parry’s genotoxicity conclusions were never submitted to the EPA, which also violates FIFRA and EPA requirements.
Was he asked about knowledge of ghostwriting? Particularly, that occurred in William’s 2000? What’s his response to Monsanto ghostwriting to circumvent regulatory agencies from opening doors they didn’t want to open? What about the company spending $16M to counter IARC - the “Orchestrate Outcry” initiative - in 2016 alone vs performing studies on the acute, sub-chronic, and chronic toxicity of Roundup formulations (ie “the product”).
$75M, huh? That’s incredible. What was the desperation and urgency of Monsanto to acquire or merge with Syngenta in late 2014 & 2015 about? Looking for a new chemical because Monsanto only had glyphosate and knew it was up for an IARC review? Why was the company “fearing” an IARC review if it was so studied and so safe?
Don’t believe a word this guy says…they were planning Roundup Ready crops before they had carcinogenicity data on glyphosate - just read ‘Lords of the Harvest’. Their vision to ‘Feed the World’ was in affect and they had thrown all the eggs in one basket, we’ll before EPA classified glyphosate as ‘possibly carcinogenic’ in 1985.
I wonder if the CEO of Syngenta will have to do likewise in the Paraquat/Parkinson's trial?
Last I saw not too far back Roundup still on shelves for sale at Lowe's.

Hope the attorneys know their stuff
Grrrrrrrrrrrrr. Monsanto made my blood boil for years....
How he sleeps at night i dont know, probably after a good therapy session telling him he was a good CEO and took care of the shareholders.
if there's no evidence, why are they settling lawsuits?
