Unless there are some secret corp study documents, or field trials proving glyphosate mixture is toxic, I don’t see any connection to his cancer.

He might have done vehicle brake work (asbestos) in the military, a gas station, been exposed to other chemical combos... who knows? Over 23yrs, I had 604 people working for me - mostly seasonal lscp/garden construction crews - and none have developed cancer, that I’ve heard of.

I know Round-Up was reformulated back in the early 80s, but I don’t remember what the specifics were. We used Round-Up in tractor tank sprayers, backpack sprayers and out-of-the-bottle squirters, and with changing winds, there was always some blowback, but with protective clothing and eye protection, any effect was minimal.

If he didn’t take basic precautions, as with all chemicals, the case goes nowhere. There’s a pamphlet accompanying the off-the-shelf 1-2-3gal sprayers for homeowners, and for those of us who bought and remixed 50gal drums of highly-concentrated liquid, safety precautions are clearly laid-out.

Once again, IF there are incriminating documents and studies on RoundUp, they’ve either been scrubbed, deleted, isolated and Hitlery wiped them clean with her magic cloth.

I feel bad for the guy and his family, but without adequate evidence, it’s an empty revolver.

Interesting how all hospitals, med ctrs etc have declared their grounds to be “Tobacco Free Campus”. I remember way back when hospitals actually had waiting rooms/smoking lounges at the end of floor hallways. LOL.

Yup- thaT’s the point- it’s nearly impossible to declare what actually gave him cancer UNLESS most peopel that use a certain product get cancer of a certain type- then one can be ‘reasonably certain’ but not entirely- ass you state- the cancer could be from soemthign different- air pollutants, cleanign chemicals, some food ingredient, etc etc etc

I smoked in my hospital room bathroom way back when- used to walk through hte malls chain smoking- restaurants, stores etc-

I dunno- lawyers seem to win cases like this sometimes- playing on the emotions of the jury-
