Sounds like someone in the FDA lab fucked up. Possibly any retests too, since I doubt they went straight from initial positive test to recall. What a shitshow. I wonder if it’s from inexperience or overwork due to cuts.
Like the trump administration’s statement is in any way dependable as truth
You’re right, a gutted FDA couldn’t make mistakes. It’s probably a vast conspiracy that involves the very scientists racing to figure out the source of this also being complicit in covering it up.
The trump gutted fda. No matter how it’s sliced trump is the failure
Both a gutted FDA and a large company paying the Trump administration a bribe for preferential treatment are pretty equal in likelihood.
But considering this company has already paid a bribe to the Trump administration to get rid of food tracing rules, the conspiracy is probably more likely.
Without an independent lab verifying the samples, you should take the FDA's retraction with a pitcher of salt.
Nah
The FDA didnt mess up.
The FDA found the culprits, and then Trump was bribed to tell the FDA to find evidence that the initial test was a false positive.
So you're suggesting that the most rational explanation is that the FDA did the initial test, got a false positive, then presumably did it again, and got at least one ADDITIONAL false positive, for a protist for which the species in question is the only one in its genus which uses humans as hosts. The company found it so credible that they PUBLICLY copped to it, but then it turns out that it was ALL false positives? You're suggesting that that is the most likely scenario?
