Red State Jury Awards Plaintiff $2 Billion From Big Pharma Company Bayer In Latest MAHA Win
A Georgia jury awarded plaintiff John Barnes $2.065 billion in damages Friday in the latest round of lawsuits against pharmaceutical giant Bayer for their weedkiller product Roundup.
Barnes, who is suffering from non-Hodgkin lymphoma, filed a 2021 lawsuit against Roundup producer Monsanto, which is owned by Bayer, according to the Associated Press.
Among Roundup’s most vocal opponents has been newly minted Health and Human Services (HHS) Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
Kennedy Jr., who has sued and won against Monsanto on behalf of Roundup clients in the past, has repeatedly bashed the product as toxic and blamed it in part for America’s chronic disease epidemic.
“The herbicide Glyphosate is one of the likely culprits in America’s chronic disease epidemic. Much more widely used here than in Europe,” Kennedy tweeted in June. (Read more from “Red State Jury Awards Plaintiff $2 Billion From Big Pharma Company Bayer In Latest MAHA Win” HERE)
