Trump claims he is making us safer, but it just the opposite.

Yeah, we all know DUMB ASS DONALD TRUMP THOUGHT IT WAS A GOOD IDEA TO CUT THE CUT THE FOOD INSPECTIONS !!! WTF 🖕🖕

Didn’t Elon fire the FDA?

We wouldn’t want people asking if mass firing is a problem, would we?

Old retired doc here and couldn't believe I lived thru an epidemic like I was taught about but we had solved. Some of my training included rotations thru the PHL PH dept in center city now surrounded by chain link fence. the anti science was not something i ever imagined. Science got me a polio vx

Too many apathetic people

And the bodies are increasing.

What are we paying taxes for, besides a bloated defense budget?

This is the one with Dustin Hoffman and the sick little monkey, right?

This is why nobody wants your food. Also people in the industry know that internationally sourced ingredients, that don't quite meet the standards of responsible nations, get sent to America. This trade war exposes you more each day. It was a bad move on a lot of levels.

another reason NOT to buy american goods.

Of course it did….🤬

time to re-read Upton Sinclair's "The Jungle".

Thee Vomitorium appears to have been relocated to Washington D.C.

But if FDA told people who would buy the lettuce?

And this will become more common with cuts to the FDA. We will hear less, suffer more, and they will care less

I reckon there's been other unreported outbreaks as well. Friend of mine had something really dire when he was in Florida early last year. He really ought to have gone to hospital but just about managed to pull through.

Diseases don't spread without publicity*. (*It's a poorly-kept secret in the CDC) Salmonella, in particular, is a notorious diva.

By now the Original Taliban™ probably have a more effective epidemic control system than Kennedystan 🤷

Especially when so many people 40 and under don't even know how to cook a basic meal.

🤦🏼‍♂️

And this is why I'm not buying US produce at my canadian grocery stores.

Exactly!! All the E Coli contamination in the mesclun and romaine lettuce always came from the US. In onion as well. Bleached chicken and mature pork tasting of manure that gets dumped in our markets at fire sale prices. I wish we were informed of the animale provenance as well as the fruits & veggy

Sad

Each of the 15 States Departments of Health should have publicized this.

🤢

This is criminal acts by people who hates working for the federal and intended to do nothing about it. They better be charged with the murders in the future.

This administration literally wants to burn this country to the ground merely because of a vendetta from a weak president

Probably first they heard of it

Frightening!

Do they make E. coli home testing kits? 🤔

Trump Dementia Syndrome; if it isn't on Fox News, it doesn't exist.

There’s always a Taylor Swift lyric…

Your next Uber driver will be an unemployed epidemiologist

Nope, those people are leaving the US. The epidemiologists, OB/GYNs, scientists, nurses, and a whole lot more are being actively recruited by other countries.

Or come to Canada 🇨🇦. Hopefully, the Liberals, Prime Minister Carney, wins this very important election on April 28th against our own wanna be dictator, Maple MAGA. www.canada.ca/en/immigrati...

I hope they all do

I would like to, but I don't know if my career I'm working on is needed. BA of Science Psychology. Gonna be a counselor or therapist once I get my MA in 2028. If I can make it that long.

@nbcnews.com be specific - who's in charge the FDA? Dept of Health and Human Services, so RFK. USE HIS NAME. 

If you pray George, pray that Ebola doesn't come back to USA. It got dealt with VERY quickly by agencies and people that have been terminated.

The MAGAts will run out and buy up all the ivermectin. Thats their go-to cure. 🙄🤮

Sadly this outbreak happened in november. This is not a current situation.

Missouri, Indiana, Arkansas, Colorado, Illinois, Kansas, Kentucky, Montana, North Dakota, Nebraska, Ohio, Pennsylvania, South Dakota, Tennessee and Wisconsin

Maybe we can save some taxpayer bucks by stocking the WH kitchen from the outbreak area.

But let’s shut down FDA inspections of meat packing plants anyway. You know, too much “regulation.”

Especially chickens because we know we have young children working in those plants now down south after they get out of school

Same in Nebraska but they are migrant children. In fact we’ve had severe injuries and even deaths happen at our plants.

Terrible

Is this an attempt to increase the purchase of dialysis machines? Ultimately, E.coli infections result in kidney damage. Perhaps it's just a business ploy…/s

So I guess we grow our own vegetable and/or buy only local. Cities can revise the Victory Gardens and create more. So these are the Golden Years that Trump talks about. No more large farms and interstate commerce. Truckers will suffer too. Nice job Magats.

Good thing a new season of The Last Of Us is out so we have tips on how to survive in MAGAland.

The jackwagons doing this aren’t even smart enough to realize this will affect what they eat and what their friends and family eat also.

The story said it happened in November though. Reading only the headline can help people on the other side accuse you of being no better then them.

Exactly. I am for facts on both sides, including mine. I can see this happening again now, though, easily.

I stopped eating hamburgers after that movie

Millions won't survive this and millions will say the coroners are all faking it. Stupidity can't be stopped.

...the stupid evil is understandable-- people have been evil and stupid since day one... ...but THIS...the suicidal stupid... that's on a whole 'nother level...

This is so stupid that I cannot even.

It is as if they the dump regime wants us dead

They want to kill as many people as they can.

I stopped eating romaine lettuce. It’s always romaine lettuce that has e-coli.

Please consider signing up for @resist.bot We MUST fight back to keep our food supply SAFE! #Resistance sign & share💙

Shitler and the Brain Worm dude are also STOPPING food inspections, leaving it up to the states to deal with it—or not.

Official photography of Elon musk driving right in a brick wall in front of a big canyon.

I'm beginning to think our food needs this logo instead... (maybe call Mark Burnett)

Well, if I were you I'd get used to seeing even more sequels...

Is Russia heading up the FDA?

Just rub a little gun oil on it. You’ll be fine. 😉

This was in November, 2024. Joe Biden was president. Trump has done many horrible things, but this isn’t one of them.

Deliberately Endangering American lives should be an IMPEACHABLE offense!! One of many

"You ain't seen nothin' yet B-b-b-baby, you just ain't seen n-n-n-nothin' yet Here's something, here's something you're never gonna f-forget, baby You know, you know, you know, you just ain't seen nothin' yet"

And COVID www.npr.org/sections/sho...

Fucking maga.A gov website blaming Biden for the shutdown in 2020 is insane. The brainwashing of idiots forgetting who was president when Covid hit, who lied about it and who shut the country down is insane!! The worst part are the people purpopsfully knowingly lying for trump. What’s the end game?

I mean of course they did but, WHAT, pardon my French, the FUCKITY FUCK.

I hate movies that end in disaster! Hopefully, the bad guys die! 🤬

What’s a million more dead Americans among broligarchs

A reminder that republicans have no problem if your food is unsafe and kills you That’s a feature, not a bug, for them

So science & medicine have just been, what…discontinued?!?

Pretty much.

Well, the USA is a third world country these days. How else can you evaluate the fact that people there are dying from diseases for which there are drugs or vaccines.

you don't survive this. You fight it. Whistle need to be blown, and shouted from the rooftops. Today millions of Americans again took to the street. 250 years on, Rebellion is still alive. Redcoats have been traded for red hats, but they have used the declaration of independence as a to do list.

"What the don't know can't hurt them" or at least won't make them mad. Seems the way the MAGA Messiah & his minions hope to continue their power grab. www.ngrippel.com/ngr-politics...

No it it won't go over well in sequel either. The public has the right to know immediately when there is an outbreak of food born illness. We need to know which products are affected and their distribution.

🤨

There DAMN WELL better be a committee hearing on this!!!!

RFK is the 21st century Sweeny Todd, out to take his revenge on the entire human race. But instead of carving us up for meat pies, the Kennedy fail-son will get his revenge by turning diseases loose on us that could have been prevented.

Grow your own

Liz Truss (and her favourite salad plant) are at it again.

People need to realize that conservatives want you dead.

Admit it, George: you are having to re-live the worst parts of your life all over. Concentration camps, authoritarianism, going after educational institutions, etc. It is truly sad. Wait til we get disco and bell bottoms again. That should really drive the point home that history is repeating.

I'm afraid you're gonna need a few 'bridge at Selma' moments before the funky music and groovy hair really get into full swing.

If it brings back funk, okay. Groovy hair, okay. But not disco. And not bell bottoms. Both are impractical and non-essential. BTW, spent the afternoon in the shop listening to Earth, Wind, and Fire. Nothing like welding with a groove.

Keep posting these I’ll look out for romaine. Vegetarian

Ignorance is bliss... which is why the administration is cancelling all the research and reporting options.

“If you don’t test, you don’t have any cases”

Exactly. Grim isn't it! 😏

TY RFK Jr for the E Coli outbreak. Waiting to hear about tainted baby formula.

🤔🤔😠😠🤦‍♀️

No sir. It did not. I’ve treated patients with this. It hits hard. Especially in kids and the elderly.

Combined with FDA plans to reduce food inspections. What could go wrong???

Wow ! But reading about this George, this was both administrations, this started in November.

I'm pretty certain I was 'affected' and had to be at home base for 2 weeks.

As long as 🍊💩 and his cronies control everything it will never turn out good. Since he has been in office our news is is censored. I go to BBC & CBC to find out the real news for US. News has sold their soul to 🍊💩

Why wasn’t there a lawsuit against the FDA for willfully denying lifesaving information from the public that funds them?

The world health organization has cut deals w/ many countries to keep health info available. Their news location on internet will surely help, and books and pamplets at libraries can be of use!!.

This is a nice idea.

JFK making america great again…. When did science and logic become the bad guy?

The minute they get in the way of capital making money science will take a back seat.

Agreed. Everything is about money…. Hopefully this an be challenged in the courts!

“R”FK JR- JFK and RFK SR are rolling in their graves 😢

Scary as John Carpenter’s 🎃 Halloween. Maybe we should try to shine the spotlight on this more brightly for a while you know until SOME accountability takes hold.

😱

I used to eat romaine every day until I got a really bad case of norovirus last summer. So sick, I had to crawl to the bathroom. Haven't had romaine since. Will never eat it again. #AuditIncelNAZIElmo #DefundIncelNAZIElmo #DeportIncelNAZIElmo #JailtheOrangePustuleinCECOT #$ubprimeCourtReformsNOW

Think how sick you would have to be not tell an old deaf woman with a walker crossing the street a truck lost control and was about to hit her. Same thing.

A blind woman was about to step into traffic about a block from where I was. I can bellow when called for. "IT'S A RED LIGHT!!! STOP! STOP! STOP!" I once stopped four way traffic when I called out a mugging in an urban park.

But you are a good caring human. Thanks for what you did

Thank you. In the moment, when speaking out or taking appropriate action, one can feel like you are the only person capable of doing it. Looking around at the blank faces of passersby and bystanders seems to confirm that. Almost every day that I do go out there's an opportunity to help. We are many.

Nothing to see hear move on, seems to be this administration's mantra. No regulations no inspections no problems. That's a receipe for disaster.

...and even though the director finally cut the story off with "and they all lived happily ever after", the credits go on forever, the doors to the theatre are locked, and after a while you can smell smoke...

Yep. youtube.com/shorts/CifDb...

Wasn’t this from November?

Yes, so we can’t blame Trump for it, unfortunately.

Yes "Contagion". There wasn't a happy ending.

What FDA? Not many left there

Trump’s America is really bad for our health. I hope we survive it.

Ya’ll know right now the remaining immigrants that haven’t been picked up, still picking the lettuce & bagging that shiggty is peeing & 💩 all over this stuff! My suggestion people who don’t like to wash their produce & meats…this 💩 works. Ask Black people!

This occurred in November.

Trump's and Musk's policies are causing people to die. If you or i had a business and created a policy meant to cause harm our asses would be in prison. WHY ARENT THEY IN PRISON???

It will only matter when something happens at a Trump property of food.

Sadly, this occurred during Biden’s administration. I shudder to think about how much worse it’s going to get under this regime.

But was it blocked by the White House then? Or was it because FDA was already infiltrated?

It's because the FDA has long been shitty at it's job and subject to regulatory capture by corporations. *Cough*Pfizer*cough*

We have had this happen before yes, but we haven’t had the acting president hide it from us. As soon as it was known they told us about it. Big difference.

E.coli kills Trump would the best end for the horror we're living in now👊🇺🇦

So far it's just his base being targeted by bacteria. And if people there start dying from drinking non-boiled water or eating fresh produce washed in it, they'd just blame Democrats for poisoning it, or even invoke the #Ukrainian biolabs {TM}

Where's our Dustin Hoffman in a helicopter? (...it's an obscure mid 90s movie reference...)

I was quick to blame RFK jr for this, but the article says it actually happened in November.

Lettuces are no joke, they can ruin lives. Trust me, I'm British. If you know, you know.

I Truss you…

Good one! LOL

They tried to pass off Covid off as foodborne illness. 🤦🏻‍♀️ This tracks. Just tell the effing truth already. We are so much smarter than this leadership.

*throws out all the lettuce in the fridge* Okay, so what is going to be completely safe to eat during his administration? Is there anything? 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

Yes it's called eating the rich.

Look into buying some Aero garden setups. You can grow some of your own lettuce and then set them up in hydroponic "bell jars" after they're established. I'm doing that right now myself. If you let the lettuce grow back, they'll last quite a while. And you can keep them inside.

Time to start a victory garden.🤷

I have purchased two additional raised beds and plan on growing more food this year.

Nice! We built raised beds a few years ago. Really helps with back and knee issues

Checking my lettuce seeds now. Good thing I was planning to spend the day in the garden

I got little sprouts. We'll be eating salad in a couple of weeks!

They come up so fast, but we have still been having cold snaps

Us too. I hate having to go out and cover everything.

Plus I have this succulent that is really tired of being stuck indoors

We had a warm weekend and got all excited and bought plants we should have waited on. I've got 1\2 a flat of eggplant I gotta keep bringing in. 🙄

My tomatoes in my aero garden are ready to go so I can put the seed starter in, but…

Local. Find a co-op or farm that grows their own stuff and you’re fine. These things happen on the industrial scale

I buy a community supported agriculture (CSA) share every year. I trust my local farmers they grow organically.

I'd go with what you grow yourself to start 🤷‍♂️

I'm not very good at growing food, but I will give it another try. I mostly grow flowers for pollinators. 🤷‍♀️

That's awesome as for food if you've stuck out before try growing things like Jerusalem artichokes, potatoes, and kale all are pretty easy and won't die if you forget they exist

Thanks for the suggestions, I will definitely try those. I did okay with carrots one year, too. 👍🥕

Carrots are my cryptonite...I always suck at those it's the thing and constant weeding

In some parts of the world people eat nothing that isn’t thoroughly cooked. That may be what we have to do.

This type of shit really explains how things like Chernobyl occur.

Wherever a text reads "the FDA", always sub in "Bobby Brain Worm," because if he's not personally in charge, his minions who are in charge know exactly what he wants from them, and they do it. Any blood shed is on his hands. The minions are -- wait for it -- just following orders.

Imagine being stuck on a cruise ship now that the CDC is no longer allowed inspections…

Shocker: the reboot still sucks.

Scariest thing about Jaws 2 is the fact the mayor from Jaws is still in office.

Don’t Look Up

What really pisses me off is that they won't give us our tax money back for the no longer provided services so we could contract with a private company to perform some of them. Massive cuts in services, no tax cuts. 😡

Oh, there will be tax cuts, just not for the people who actually pay taxes.

That's the truth. 👍

Pretty easy to see who's not paying taxes:

Well the return would be like $400/person , just think about that, for less than $40 a month how many government agencies that paid for and services it provided. I think that's a pretty good return on investment.

👍

"WAS" a pretty good return on investment.

Pete Hegseth needs that money to fly kidnapped people to El Salvador.

He looks so much like a gang member it seems to me he should be in El Salvador.

The guy with REAL Nazi tattoos gets to run the Military. With his little brother.

Americans should’ve collectively decided not to pay their federal taxes. But we can’t stick together for any reason… 🤷🏻‍♀️

Hard decision to make but I was thinking about that this morning. With no IRS agents I would think a couple of million people not paying taxes would overwhelm them.

Just think, this would probably all be over in a few weeks, if FOX News actually reported the truth about Trump is doing.

. What could possibly go wrong ? "Last time" more than a million Americans died. 💠 😔 💠

Hahaha. RFK be like

“Now streaming near you.”

There’s still an FDA?

That article is about something that happened in November, although for those who only read the image and the comment, it looks like a new outbreak occurring under this (albeit lamentable) administration. Context is important when re-posting, else we become no better than those we criticize.

Yo that's not how our discourse works now. I'd rather talk about how the orange man is bad than the more dangerous problem of regulatory capture.

Last time he dismantled pandemic preparedness to prevent pandemics He continues on the same path ..

The same goddamn playbook. They must really get a hard on by having massive amounts of people die. It’s almost just fun as raping 13-year-old girls.

Maybe we should stop testing for E. coli George, that’ll fix it.

www.voanews.com/a/covid-19-p...

And the drumpf cabal demands europe lower its' food standards in order for the US to ship contaminated products over to poison us, no thanks...

What's the harm in soaking your lettuce in bleach for 20 minutes? It makes it taste like chicken.

Most of us will survive. The above is not a positive statement.

This ‘lettuce’?

Do something! I got resistance activities here! Join over 4,500 acting and learning civics on my substack

During the pandemic, Trump claimed that, if they stopped testing Covid would go away. Clearly, that's the motivation behind closing down the FDA and the CDC, namely that if these diseases aren't reported, then they don't exist. Stupidity on steroids.

Robin Cook wrote a book about this type of outbreak

Cue a woman’s voice over a loudspeaker “All will be calm. Do not panic. All will be calm…”

With all these agencies they should put trumps FDA , trumps CDC and so on . So there is no confusion who to put the blame on .

E coli, measles, Women's health, many sick dying Americans who can afford health care, republicans are evil!

If we don’t test for it, the infection rate goes down. — Wisdom from Trump’s first term

This is so frightening!!

The gov’t has one job. This is an impeachable offense!

This article is referencing an event in 2024. The FDA said that they didn't list the names of the companies because they didn't find out the source of the contamination until after the lettuce was sold. But, consumers might have had it in their fridge, no?

I just can't stop thinking they want another AIDS pandemic...

www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news... "An E. coli outbreak linked to romaine lettuce ripped across 15 states in November" Please... Do more than reading headlines.

Yeah, the dog died at the end. 🙁

November 2024?

I'm rereading the novel series right now. At least this one doesn't cause its victims to rise as zombies after they die, and AFAIK the CDC hasn't started assassinating people as part of the cover-up.

How many American deaths will it take? Before the federal government restores the FDA and the weather service to its peak efficiency without political party Interference.

Apparently, it wasn’t enough to kill 1 million people by miss handling Covid. Gotta get those statistics up there. This “administration” is a death cult.

One death The riech one

they have made food unsafe

Those super US food standards. So good who needs them?

I read this as well. Truly disturbing. In fairness I have to say that, from the info I read, the timing makes it unclear that this was T’s responsibility. Don’t get me wrong… I really want to blame him but still want to be truthful.

Yeah, you're right. Our dictator had not yet begun destroying the FDA when the investgation was closed in February. From the article: '...no contaminated lettuce was left by the time investigators uncovered where the pathogen was coming from.' Ref: www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

Basic functions of government gutted. Great idea.

Essentially what they wanted to do with Covid. If you don’t talk about it, you can pretend it didn’t happen. Because their administration is perfect and nothing bad ever happens in it. These guys want to be “communist” Russian and Chinese so badly.

Ignore the administration’s orders.

This is disgusting!

Oh, it’s real and it’s current, not the one from a few years ago. bsky.app/profile/bran...

Certain there will be plenty remakes of this movie in the coming months!

Epidemiologists for Hire 🎶Have test-tube, will travel Reads the card of a man...🎶

Trump is trying to kill us

These people missed the memo that covid killing millions of people was not a challenge to beat a high score.

Nobody works there because they they’re all fired

This time I’m walking out of the theatre and demanding my money back.

My daughter and I got ecoli from a fast food place years ago....it is pure HELL. Unbelievable!

Exactly 💯! Salmonella was a horrible ride too.

Because there is no FDA.. DONNY DUMBFUCK Made sure of that..

Yes, the Trump regime is actively trying to kill Americans in a number of ways. Make it make sense.

This occured last November...😒

Are we surprised by this? Nope. Not even mildly. This is what Dear Leader supporters voted for.

Hang on. I abhor Trump, BobFKjr, etc., but this happened in November, under Biden.

Got my “starts” garden growing inside until Colorado stops snowing and can take outside

Make deadly viruses great again!

This was in November. As much as I’d like to blame Trump, I can’t.

And you get zombies and you get zombies 🫵

What!?

Why is it ALWAYS Romaine lettuce? I just avoid it at this point....
