    By declining to name the culprit, he said, the FDA was withholding critical information that consumers could use to make decisions about what they buy. It’s also possible that someone could have been sickened during the outbreak and not have realized the cause, and serious bacterial illness can cause long-term damage.

    Note:

    “ripped across 15 states in November”

      That’s an important detail in today’s political climate. However, this lack of action by the FDA is unacceptable regardless of who is in charge.

      So you’re saying they didn’t even have enough resources before the slaughter began. Cool cool cool. Very nice and good.

      Reminds me of how virologists were warning that we were underprepared for a pandemic even before Trump cut that funding in his first term.

      Seems like the debate is always whether we can afford 10% or 30% of what a normal first-world country would have, and we act relieved when the 10% guys leave office and the 30% guys make a compromise to bring us up to 20%.

    What’s the big deal, everyone already has E. coli in their body and we know the best way to gain immunity is to catch the disease. Those people must have been eating ultra processed foods and not taking cod liver oil.
