Supreme Court Rules: Monsanto Can’t Be Sued For Causing Cancer

The Supreme Court Just Shielded Monsanto From Cancer Lawsuits. The Supreme Court ruled 7-2 that Monsanto can’t be sued by the people its weedkiller gave cancer, because Monsanto used the Roundup label the EPA approved and the EPA never required a cancer warning. John Durnell sprayed Roundup for about 20 years, developed non-Hodgkin lymphoma, and won $1.25 million from a Missouri jury. The Court erased it. The world’s leading cancer agency calls glyphosate a probable human carcinogen, the EPA says it isn’t likely to cause cancer, and the Court sided with the EPA.The fix runs deeper than the bench. The Justice Department urged the Court to back Bayer, helped along by lawyers who came from Bayer’s own law firms. Months earlier, Trump declared glyphosate critical to national defense, and Bayer is the only company in America that makes it. Bayer’s stock jumped about 16% the same day the cancer claims got harder to file.Sources:https://www.npr.org/2026/06/25/g-s1-120233/supreme-court-monsanto-roundup-decisionhttps://usrtk.org/pesticides/trump-administration-asks-supreme-court-to-back-bayer-again-aided-by-officials-who-came-from-bayers-law-firms/https://prospect.org/2026/04/27/bayer-turns-over-every-stone-to-stiff-roundup-cancer-victims/ Get full access to The Rogue Voice aka Linsay Rousseau at linsayrousseau.substack.com/subscribe
