All the won lawsuits kind of support the link between cancer and Roundup. Also stuff like this makes believe that there are many cases out there:

"the lawyer for the RoundUp Virginia plaintiffs had been charged with extortion after offering to stop searching for more plaintiffs if he was paid a $200 million consulting fee by a manufacturer of glyphosate."

No, the won lawsuits support the link between good lawyers and winning cases. Lawsuits have no evidentiary value with respect to scientific proof.


Agreed. The courts are not respecting the science. They are pandering to public outrage.


Your science credentials are...?


Bad faith question. You don't need science credentials to understand that court rulings aren't scientific evidence. It's either a true statement or it isn't (and it is).
