Bayer has removed glyphosate from Roundup weed killer, and according to the speaker, this is presented as good news only to reveal a new toxic lineup being sprayed in homes and public spaces. The speaker notes that all of these ingredients are horrible, with special emphasis on Dequat dibromide, which is stated as not only banned in the European Union but also more toxic than glyphosate and capable of damaging the gut, kidneys, liver, and nervous system. Despite these warnings, the speaker asserts that this mixture is still being sprayed. The message is that the problem with Roundup isn’t that it’s fixed, but that it’s not fixed at all—the product has not been made safe; instead, it has been rebranded, swapping one toxic chemical for four others, and the public is being led to believe it is safe.
In addition to the product changes, the speaker highlights a legislative development: AB 453. This bill is described as shielding pesticide companies from liability in court, even if their chemicals cause harm. The speaker asserts that this reduces accountability and results in more toxins being sprayed near families. The overall claim is that Bayer did not make Roundup safer by removing glyphosate; rather, they replaced it with a new set of toxic ingredients, and now a state bill would protect manufacturers from legal consequences related to any harm caused by these chemicals.
