We get most of our produce from an old black farmer at the flea market. LOL, his Alabama accent is so thick I can barely understand him but he sure is cool. Always tells his wife and daughter to cut me a deal while they frown at him for it. 😆 (I think his wife finally recognizes me as a regular!)

Crapola... literally... real science would have pulled the DNA of the culprits... and back tracked them thru all the cultures they had gathered since the outbreak was 1st Known....

Want to change toxic agriculture? For leafy greens at least there is a way... local hydroponic farms. Mine is associated with a charity kitchen and revenues go to help feeding the vulnerable in the community. My afternoon harvest today

In 2024, Trump flipped Michigan back into the Republican column, defeating Kamala Harris by 1.42%. I'd say they can shit their brains out, but they don't have any. I'm tired of pretending to care about red and purple states reaping what they sowed. They can drown in their own filth, fine by me.

So, ain't China, nope. Can't blame fauci, wasn't smuggled in by illegals, ain't a bug brought here by cattle smugglers. Nope. It's our own shit. And the governments experts just can't seem to figure out where it comes from. Not surprised.

Because the FDA now operates politically not scientifically. Its been like 4 weeks. With Biden we knew what was bad, it was recalled, we ate it a week later safely. With Trump is all secret, maybe, not sure, and people still get sick. Forbes is Republican. Wtf is he doing about it?

Tens of thousands of Americans are suffering because RFK Jr and Trump refuse to fund or believe in food safety and science. This is unacceptable. This is beyond fucked up. They showed us this would happen last time, and fucking idiots voted for him again.

Shooting for the Guiness Book of World Records? Way to go RFK Jr!! Nobody will ever be able to say the Hoarse Whisperer didn't accomplish something significant during his lifetime.

Total case numbers have surpassed 11,500 reported cases across 41 states—but Michigan has by far been the hardest hit. "They're Shitting They're Pants, Stop the Counting Bring on the Bleach and Bright Lights!"

RFK removed recommendations from the CDC, didn't make our doctors stupid overnight. When we had our babies we were constantly told to vaccinate. I kinda lost it one day, "Look. We're not fucking stupid. Hit the kid with whatever ya got on schedule." Nurse's jaw dropped, wife nodding vigorously.

Exactly the case! But my god we got tired of the non-stop, "Breastfeed and vaccinate!" Yeah. We know. We're doing that. Preaching to the choir y'all. I'm still angry that nurses and doctors have to talk like that. "Evidence based medicine" torques me off. I call that "medicine".

What experts? Taylor Farms lobbied and succeeded in clearing itself under dubious circumstances. Who the fuck trusts the administration to actually find and fix the problem when bribery and influence Trumps science?

Taylor farms water crops with sewage, but its a 'mystery' where the illness comes from. Especially after they visited the white house and changed the positive results to a 'false positive' after a little donation. A mystery indeed

Sewage is perfectly safe. If they indeed used it, I suspect their sterilization routine was poor. The vast majority of pathogens require specific environments to survive so they must have really screwed up letting any through.

Thank God sacking staff wholesale from regulatory, medical and research bodies has had the effect it has! Getting back to the golden days of disease & pestilence is central to the MAGA mantra. Here in Europe, we'll keep our scientific safeguards, thanks.

Identifying the source of food borne illnesses is the kind of thing we used to do in a couple of days of an outbreak…not with this administration. Yet again we see the cost of firing all the qualified field inspectors and scientists. They were there for a reason.

The stupidity of suffering through this when the problems had ALREADY BEEN SOLVED. How moronic do you need to be to stop quality control and diseases IN YOUR FOOD. The trumpies did this. Remove the trumpies. Put intelligence and process back in place. Processes exist for a reason.

Too bad we don’t have a functioning CDC&P to trace the source. We have the expertise but not the staffing capacity because RFKJr and DOGE fired and ran off so many competent and necessary experts and technicians.

Bad title. Make sure readers understand why this is happening and is bad for business. Here is a good title: "Cyclospora outbreak out of control after Trump & DOGE cut FDA testing. Likely culprit Taylor Farms donates to MAGA, gets off scot free"

Sort of? The CDC is still pointing their finger at Taylor Farms but they did seemingly backup and say their initial tests were false positives. In any case, the $1M donation to Trump last year and the recent White House visit muddied the waters to where we cannot trust the CDC on this.

Thank You RFK jr and Elon your efforts to make America Great have forced 11,500 people to become very Sick. Stop waiting for another pandemic to kill Americas and Do Your Damn Job!

Incidentally, I was offered a salad at Red Lobster for lunch and I declined it. Not in Michigan but not taking any chances. Great job trump, the administration, and, especially, RFKjr.

We know the answer. When you take office, the buck stops with the man in charge. Trump has been in charge for almost two years. DOGE and his agency heads firing everyone with expertise to replace with either political hacks or no one did not just happen. It was planned.

I know, i was being sarcastic. i'm saying that it IS very obvious that a man who is a heroin addict and likes to cut off racoon penises being in charge of the health policies of the United States is the very reason why we're here. yet MAGA strongly disagrees, and will continue to vote for this.

Yet the science-denying government phonies interrogate Fauci over 6-yo Covid-19. Measle cases - higher now than in decades, yet attacking a man who served his government with distinction is serving these asshole Senators HOW, exactly? Do your job journalists.
