MAHA feels betrayed after Supreme Court ruling on Monsanto, glyphosate

Prominent activists with the “Make America Healthy Again” (MAHA) movement are raging and saying they feel betrayed after the Supreme Court sided with pesticide maker Monsanto on Thursday and said it did not need to put a warning label about a potential cancer risk associated with its Roundup weedkiller. 

The backlash could test the movement’s ties with the Republican Party, especially after the Trump administration backed Monsanto in the case. 

Several studies have found a link between glyphosate, the main ingredient in Roundup, and cancer, including a major study from last year. Bayer and Monsanto have denied any such connection. 

But MAHA followers have long been alarmed by the idea, and many have grown impatient with a White House that has largely resisted their calls for tighter regulation of pesticides. 

In April, President Trump, Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and high-level administration officials held a private meeting with MAHA activists to hear their complaints and try to smooth over any ill-will. 

Later that month, a MAHA-led coalition rallied outside the Supreme Court during oral arguments, saying people should be able to hold companies accountable. 

Inside, the justices heard arguments — including some by the Department of Justice —  that companies should be protected. 

For some MAHA supporters, Thursday’s verdict showed that despite Trump’s alliance with Kennedy, the administration would rather prioritize the interests of pesticide makers.  

“A lot of MAHA voters are realizing they’ve been snookered, they’ve been had by Republicans that had no intention of protecting their health. It’s just a talking point that they added,” said David Murphy, founder of United We Eat and finance director of Kennedy’s presidential campaign. 

Murphy said the decision could be a tipping point for MAHA voters, who have historically...

>> The Shill is just writing an article trying to split the MAHA people from Trump.

Egg-zackly. I don’t agree with everything about Robert Kennedy but I respect him, am generally on board with MAHA, and am grateful that he is yet another well-chosen, LOYAL member of the Trump team. I support both MAGA and MAHA.

Godspeed pard. That makes me smile. Be safe.

“In the case of glyphosates, I think there is enough data on populations around heavy usage to show enough correlation to constitute evidence, similar to the evidence against heavy cigarette smoking.”

Correct, Japan uses 5x more pesticides and 2x more glyphosate per surface of cropland than the USA and yet has much lower cancer rates. That is massive population data over decades.
Weight that against the glyphosates cancer “risk” (whatever the heck that means) junkscience on RATS made by the usual anti-pesticide suspects (IARC and the Ramazzini Institute) and make your own conclusion.

A RWINO?
Joke aside, the so called MAHA movement is led by R Kennedy, an opportunist leftist. Its most hysterical beliefs (anti pesticides, anti artificial dyes, anti “ultra processed” food) should be at best ignored, at worse rejected.

“Roundup BioFlow (MON 52276) used in the EU and Ranger Pro (EPA 524-517) used in the U.S., were administered to rats via drinking water beginning in prenatal life, at doses of 0.5, 5, and 50 mg/kg body weight/day for 2 years.”

Yeah, and now cross reference with any human receiving comparable exposure.

The only risk using glyphosate is to the plants. The rest is made up hype, phony science, and wishful thinking, designed to eliminated standard crops, lowering population and forcing the remaining peopleto eat bugs while eliminating meat eating.

[If You Want It Fixed - Fix It]

trust the science....the science proclaimed by inept scientists that do not believe in God but do believe in climate change, 72 genders , gay marriage, abortion have TDS and are all on Adderall, and therapy.

Were “peer reviewed” means “mob supported” not truly fact driven nor variable controlled.

They have no cases where a cancer was positively connected to its cause.

[ckilmer]

Same here. We’ve turned to Italian and German only wheat and pasta.

What’s astounding is the number of stories that people tell of eating bread and pasta in europe and feeling great afterwards.

In the USA you do the same thing you feel drugged and stupored.

[CodeToad]

Yep. It’s crazy, but US wheat make us feel bloated and sick. I can eat pizza, pasta, breads, anything with Italian or German wheat and feel just fine.

[Dr. Sivana]

Correct, Japan uses 5x more pesticides and 2x more glyphosate per surface of cropland than the USA and yet has much lower cancer rates.

That's interesting, especially as Japanese also still have higher smoking rates and a longer life expectancy (eliminates the possibility of dying of other causes before they can get cancer, which I suspect explains some of the "lower" cancer rates in past centuries in the U.S. and Europe.)

[miniTAX]

“Interesting” would be the understatement of the year, given that this massive and irrefutable fact absolutely shatters the anti-pesticides propaganda.
It’s not a statistical quirk, it’s confirmed by another known but buried fact that the Japanese, when living in the USA, tend to have higher cancer rates than their counterparts in Japan. Which means that the junkscience linking pesticides to cancers has always been an ignorant and irrational red herring to avoid any hard look at the real causes.
That’s why the MAHA’s faux cruisade against pesticides and other chemicals is such a con job because it tells people in poor health what they want to hear (not your fault, it’s big food-big AG’s fault) and not the truth (obesity and its mother cause, CARBS, IS the biggest, by miles far, risk factor of cancer).
