A jury in Georgia has ordered Bayer, the parent company of Monsanto, to pay nearly $2.1 billion to a man who says the weed killer Roundup gave him cancer. This is one of the largest verdicts yet in lawsuits against the product. The jury's decision includes $65 million for damages and $2 billion as a punishment. John Barnes filed the lawsuit in 2021 after being diagnosed with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. The verdict will help him get the treatment he needs and expose the truth about Roundup's risks. Bayer, which bought Monsanto in 2018, denies that Roundup causes cancer and plans to appeal. The company argues that scientific evidence and global regulators support the product's safety. However, Bayer has faced over 177,000 lawsuits and set aside $16 billion for settlements. Documentary about Monsanto: documentary.net
