Good reason for us to continue to restrict our lettuce purchases to those from Canadian hothouses
One of America’s largest produce suppliers visited the White House days before the administration walked back a warning suggesting the company’s lettuce could be linked to an outbreak of explosive diarrhea.
Executives from MAGA-donor Taylor Farms met officials from the White House and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration last Thursday, July 16, one day before it issued a voluntary recall of lettuce sourced from Central Mexico that linked it to Cyclospora, the parasite that has caused a nationwide outbreak of diarrhea, nausea, and fatigue.
Federal investigators traced the outbreak to restaurants including Taco Bell, which gets its lettuce from Taylor Farms.
But in a bizarre twist, the lettuce supplier issued a statement on Sunday saying the FDA had apologized after it emerged that tests of lettuce had resulted in a “false positive”.
Nothing to see here, eh?
It’s crazy that this is an upgrade
American Academy of Pediatrics is not a fan of the new EO trying to limit vaccinations

It’s hard work, and neverending, but someone’s gotta do it:
Shit, that Wakefield quack/opportunist is something else:
Prior to the study, Wakefield had been hired as a consultant by a lawyer who wanted to sue MMR manufacturers, and many of the kids in the study had been recruited by law firms or groups opposed to vaccination. The publication was later retracted. Wakefield, who has since lost his medical license, also did not disclose at the time that he had previously filed a patent on his own measles-only vaccine, which he alleged was “most probably safer.”
Here’s what the stupid fuck says:
“We want it in three separate vaccinations given at separate times,” Trump said of the MMR vaccine in remarks made when signing the order. “Together, there could be a possibility they’re quite lethal. And separately, it looks like they are not at all lethal, but just very effective.”
“It’s inconvenient, it’s five stops,” he said later, referring to multiple trips to the pediatrician. “But it’s something that I think will have a huge impact on autism.”
“The worst thing that would happen would be nothing happens. We’re not going to lose anything,” Trump said of splitting up the MMR vaccine. “At the same time, we could gain tremendously. We could save hundreds of thousands of lives, millions of lives.”
How many people does he think die due to these vaccines??
Makes my head spin…
And never mind that there aren’t any only measles, mumps, or rubella vaccines.
How many angels can dance on the head of a pin?
That, in fact, is not the worst thing that could happen.

You could at least attribute that to tRump. Looks like I said that.

I can remember back when we were on AO how the Libertarians would tell me that we didn’t need government involvement in food safety as the free market would keep food safe.

Those people were worthless and weak! Only the strong survive! Eugenics for all!!
FAFO?
“Southern Lancaster County” = “Amish”?
Story does not research any more than what they were officially told, as usual these days.
So, I’ll guess Amish.
3 in 1000 infected people die. Other get brain-swelling and other long-term debilitations.
But not me, of course. I’m strong, and the strong survive!
We should have expected nine deaths by now. And seven last year.
