With public pressure now building, MAHA voices are urging viewers to mobilize—before glyphosate follows the same path vaccines did.

law jeopardizes the availability of innovative tools for farmers and investments in the broader

0:44.1

U.S. economy. So he's saying this Supreme Court case, these lawsuits are threatening the tools

0:51.9

of farmers in the very economic viability of the United States.

Fear of lawsuits prompts D.PT vaccine shortage and rationing.
