A Page Out of Big Pharma’s Playbook?

A familiar pattern?

  • You Trust the Science™, as you are exhorted, and use the “safe and effective” product rubber-stamped by the Public Health™ authorities
  • You, or maybe your whole family, get cancer
  • As it turns out, you have no legal recourse because your government has preemptively granted blanket immunity to the manufacturer of that product by legal fiat

Iowa Senate Study Bill 1051, one of many such bills seemingly written by lobbyists and proposed by state lawmakers across the Midwestern breadbasket, “provides for a defense from civil liability associated with the use of pesticides that are registered with the United States environmental protection agency (EPA)… The label is sufficient to satisfy any requirements for a warning or label under Code Chapter 206… or any other common law duty to warn.”

Basically, if a pesticide manufacturer has managed to get EPA approval — either by legitimately clearing regulatory hurdles or greasing the right bureaucratic palms — and puts a label pursuant to Iowa Code Chapter 206, it’s home-free in terms of any legal liability for the health fallout.

The legal carve-out would apply to products like Bayer’s Roundup (glyphosate), which the EPA currently insists is not carcinogenic.

Agri-chemical industry apologists likewise insist, like Patrick Moore, that glyphosate is not just safe to use on crops but “safe to drink.”

“You can drink a whole quart of it and it won’t hurt you,” Moore claims in the clip.  

Then, when offered a glass to demonstrate its safety, he curiously appears to have a change of heart and refuses the health infusion.

 In what may be correlation or causation vis a vis widespread pesticide use, Iowa currently has the second-highest cancer rate in the United States.

Via The Gazette (Iowa) (emphasis added):

Fifty years after Iowa began collecting and analyzing data on residents diagnosed with cancer through its Iowa Cancer Registry, statistics reveal Iowa has the second-highest cancer incidence rate in the nation

With cancer registries now in 50 states, Iowa tops most in incidence of at least eight types of cancer — ranking first nationally in oral pharynx cancer diagnoses; second in leukemia; fifth in melanoma; and sixth in Non-Hodgkin lymphoma.

The only distinction that makes the pesticide legal immunity absurdity slightly less egregious than the COVID “vaccine” scam is that no one is currently compelled to use these products or face threats to their livelihoods, as was the case with the shots.

However, the use of glyphosate doesn’t begin and end with the farmer applying it to his crops. Not only does it end up on people’s plates who consume the treated food products, but it leeches into the water supply, exposing anyone remotely near the site of the application who had no say whatsoever in whether they consented to the exposure and who definitely never read any label warnings on the insert.

Via The Gazette (Iowa) (emphasis added):

Iowa’s stubbornly-high cancer rate can’t be blamed on just one thing, but oncologists and public health researchers agree it’s time to look more closely at Iowa’s top industry to see how it might be contributing.

If you did an aerial map of Iowa, we are — river to river and north to south — a bath of ag chemicals: herbicides, pesticides, fertilizers, nitrates,” Dr. Richard Deming, a Des Moines oncologist, said at The Gazette’s Iowa Ideas conference last fall.

“We’re not yet at the point where we can say what every single chemical that ultimately gets into our water supply (or) onto our skin causes, but when you look at the amount of ag chemicals Iowans are exposed to compared to other states, I suspect that we’ll find that might also be one of the contributing factors.”

My suspicion is that these bills have something to do with the incoming RFK Jr. HHS administration and resulting industry fears of legal exposure.
