One would be hard-pressed to come up with more fitting summary of this presidency.

Mexico based lettuce supplier, Taylor Farms, was identified as the source of the lettuce that contained the parasite that causes explosive diarrhea. Taylor Farms had donated $1M to a MAGA PAC after Trump relaxed the parasite reporting rules.

After they were identified by the FDA, Taylor Farms hired a Trump White House official who then visited the White House for Taylor Farms. Subsequently the FDA retracted it's claims regarding Taylor Farms lettuce but the company is still voluntarily withholding it's lettuce.

Many layers of bribery going on here. Just another day for the corrupt Trump Administration. Barely even newsworthy anymore. That's how far our country has fallen.

Because it isn't newsworthy. Turning every story into a Trump story is why people don't listen to mainstream media anymore.

---

Thank you for letting us know you don't care about public corruption. I'll try to remember that next time you post about some trivial Democratic misdeed.

How the hell is that not newsworthy? That's a crazy response to a legitimate post

Because every story isn't a Trump story, yet somehow it becomes one thanks to the TDS of many.

People can choose the story and the slant that they want to discuss. I choose DJT stories and I choose plenty that have nothing to do with DJT. Everyone here does the same.

FDA reports the initial test showing cyclospora from Taylor's Mexico facility was a false positive

Taylor Farms has voluntarily recalled all of suspect lettuce from Mexican plant.

Investigation continues

Everything else in this thread is hysterical paranoia

If Trump is responsible for contaminating lettuce in Mexico with human feces then so is Biden in 2019. Presidents have nothing to do with these incidents

---

I have provided info on the regulatory changes from the Trump Administration (and the conveniently timed corporate donations) that allowed this outbreak to spread before it was identified and constrained. You are just trying to create bothsideism where it does not exist

But the FDA has not changed its main conclusions about the outbreak.

To be more specific, the false positive that you cite above only applied to one specific shipment of lettuce supplied by Taylor Farms, which the FDA does not believe was the vehicle that sickened more than 1,600 people and potentially thousands others.

Moreover, the FDA said its false positive does not change its prior conclusion that the outbreak is linked to shredded iceberg lettuce from central Mexico supplied by Taylor Farms.

Yes the investigation continues but this has nothing to do with corruption or changes in regulatory guidance

Your information is misinformation. First of all FDA regulates food safety not CDC- monitoring is not regulation and FDA has not changed their guidance on Cyclospora, if anything they are enhancing it. Secondly you would have us believe a political donation influenced policy and then believe that in return for this donation Taylor Farms was rewarded with multimillion dollar recall, lawsuits and potentially the loss of their business plus a false positive.

Thank You for agreeing with me that the investigation continues even though there was a false positive.
The false positive at this point and time is irrelevant.

Monitoring is absolutely regulation. It's probably the foundation of regulation. And the FDA didn't change anything with cyclospora and that is the problem. The new rule was going to go into affect and Trump's government delayed it, allowing this outbreak to be unseen for longer.

The change of course by the FDA will absolutely help Taylor Farms from a business perspective with lawsuits and business funding.

The made monitoring by states voluntary, this did not end it. An incomplete database did not cause this outbreak and it was not FDA but CDC that made the change. In addition state reporting on Cyclospora had always been different- some report on illness some on a positive test.

All of this is irrelevant to your National Enquirer headline that the Trump administration is causing explosive diarrhea. Right now we don't know who or what caused it but it wasn't a database.
