Saying it over and over again doesn't make it true. However, banning DDT was a great boon for multinational pesticide companies because its patent had run out and was dirt cheap. The same thing is true for glyphosate. It is no longer patented and its price is falling like a rock. If it gets banned, companies can sell patented materials for much higher prices to fill the gap. However, the regulatory agencies learned from their huge mistake in banning DDT, so it is unlikely that glyphosate will get banned.
