exactly, how are they going to prove the cancer came from the weed killer? people get cancer without being exposed to harsh chemicals all the time- IF there was a rash of people- a majority, getting cancer who used roundup- then ok- there might be something to the claim- but how many people have had their cancer directly linked to roundup?
That’s like when they banned cigarette smoking in hospital parking lots- how in the world could they ever prove that someone walking into a hospital got cancer from someone down the other end of the lot smoking? Where is the DIRECT link? How can it be proved? IF a majority of the people walking into hospitals through parking lots ended up with cancer- then yeah- there might be a case there- but a couple of people winding up with cancer does NOT prove they got it walking through the parking lot when the majority of people going through the lot never get cancer
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.
