...shortly after the CEO had a meeting with Trump. Coincidence?
Sure it did soon as they paid the bribe.
The owner to Taylor Farms is a huge trump supporter
So is this legit, or did Taylor Farms just bribe the appropriate official?
They literally gave $1M to Make America Great Again, Inc. last year just after the FDA announced it was suspending implementation of the food tracing rule. So, yeah, they paid the bribe last year.
I mean it's the Trump Administration's FDA full of his sycophants so I would unfortunately have to guess that it's as legitimate as any other claim this administration has made.
The FDA said Saturday’s positive test was an erroneous result based on false amplification.
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.
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?
Sounds like someone in the FDA lab fucked up.
Nah
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.
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.
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.
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.
The trump gutted fda. No matter how it’s sliced trump is the failure
You know the answer
Never buying their shit again. TF can go fuck itself.
Now we figure out how to find what products they sell.
Why did Taylor Farms not have produce tested themselves? We need a third independent testing to verify who is lying, the FDA or Taylor Farms. And if TF is a false positive, how did people actually get sick?
It’s a messed up world when we can’t be sure the FDA isn’t lying.
So I learned that the leaders of Taylor Farms went to the Whitehouse. After the meeting they are allowed to continue poisoning usa people. Hmmm. Read between the lines?
Well, if Taylor Farms destroyed a bunch of their lettuce based on the initial information from the FDA, I wonder if they have a good lawsuit?
I'm gonna go with somebody was bribed to make this happen
Okay then… where is the actual source?
