@me_valentijn@m.ai6yr.org Because the #Trump admin and the #CDC don't want to admit what the core of the problem is: industrial-scale food production on factory-scale farms, all sending such a vast volume of food product into factory-scale food processing plants that quality control of any sort is impossible Farm it, ship it, package it for retail-wholesale, ship it out to the retail food industry as fast as possible Deal with repercussions only after evading discovery for as long as possible #FactoryFarmedFood #IndustrialFood #TacoBell #Diarrhea #ExplosiveDiarrhea #Cyclospora #PublicHealth cc @ai6yr@m.ai6yr.org

"The appalling truth about cyclospora is that humans are its lone source. It’s only ever been found in human feces. So if it’s in our food or water, 'it doesn’t take a rocket scientist or a microbiologist to overthink this,' said Dr. Mark Moorman, who recently retired as director of the Office of Food Safety at the US Food and Drug Administration. 'Humans are the source.'" https://www.cnn.com/2026/07/25/health/cyclospora-outbreak-investigation #PublicHealth #cyclospora #diarrhea #IDmastodon #epidemiology #FoodSafety #FDA #CDC

"USAID helped fund key divisions of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), such as the Division of Parasitic Diseases and Malaria. Much of that division was focused on the President’s Malaria Initiative (PMI), a program to combat malaria abroad, as well as other programs to fight neglected tropical diseases." https://thehill.com/policy/healthcare/5984356-usaid-cuts-cyclospora-response/ #PublicHealth #diarrhea #cyclospora #epidemiology #HHS #FDA #CDC #DOGE #USpol

"Experts have long said the U.S. is underprepared to rein in foodborne outbreaks. But after the Trump administration slashed key officials — from federal employees who investigate the source of illnesses to those who share information with the public — Kennedy appears to face an even more daunting task to contain the parasite and build trust in the administration’s response." https://www.cnbc.com/2026/07/23/cyclospora-outbreak-tests-rfk-jr-response-funding-cuts.html #PublicHealth #diarrhea #cyclospora #epidemiology #HHS #FDA #CDC #DOGE #USpol

#TaylorFarms Spent Big on #MAGA and #AntiRegulatory #Lobbying Before #Diarrhea Outbreak The company donated more than $3.6 million to #conservative groups between 2020 and 2025, including $1 million to the #MAGAInc. #SuperPAC. by Kate Taylor, Jul 21, 2026 "The lettuce supplier at the center of the turbo diarrhea outbreak has spent millions of dollars to sway sentiment around #FoodRegulation and elect Donald Trump and other MAGA Republicans, according to public filings. "Taylor Farms donated more than $2 million to conservative political groups in 2025, according to Federal Election Commission filings. That includes a $1 million donation to MAGA Inc., the Trump-centric super PAC, and $1.1 million to other super PACs dedicated to electing Republicans. "From 2020 through the end of 2024, the company donated more than $1.6 million to conservative PACs, including a total of $850,000 to #AFPAction, an anti-regulation super PAC with ties to the #Koch network. "#BruceTaylor, the chairman and CEO of Taylor Farms, is also a longtime donor to Republican causes. Since 2020, Taylor has personally donated more than $900,000 to Republican PACs and candidates, including contributions to Texas senator #JohnCornyn and Tennessee senator #MarshaBlackburn."

"In a Monday clarification, the agency 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, which was also served at some Taco Bell locations. The agency is still advising Americans not to eat recalled iceberg lettuce." https://www.cnbc.com/2026/07/20/cyclosporiasis-fda-taylor-farms-lettuce-false-positive.html #PublicHealth #FDA #cyclospora #diarrhea

"The Marketside finding deserves its own paragraph, because of what CDC told NBC News on Friday morning: shredded lettuce sold in grocery stores or served in other restaurants is not affected. Taylor Farms’ own recall notice lists consumer retail bags of shredded iceberg lettuce and iceberg salad. Both statements are in the public record this weekend and they cannot both be true. Federal officials themselves told STAT that other brands, restaurants, retailers or distribution channels could yet be tied to the outbreak. And Michigan’s chief medical executive, Dr. Natasha Bagdasarian, made the point plainly: a supplier that sells to restaurants may also stock grocery stores, and many people who got sick in her state said they never ate at Taco Bell."

"The farm workers aren’t provided with sick leave or with reliable access to medical care. Thus, they are the initial victims in this disaster, because of the conditions they are forced to work and live under. They are the proverbial “canaries” in this growing public health crisis" https://www.forbes.com/sites/judystone/2026/07/16/its-the-water-not-produce-likely-driving-cyclospora-outbreaks/ #cyclospora #PublicHealth #FoodSafety #farmworkers #immigration #diarrhea

"Of course, it’s almost impossible to avoid foodborne illnesses, Rohde said. However, with outbreaks, public health is critical to detect and prevent spread of pathogens, but also tracing cases and finding their origins. Meanwhile, the country has fewer federal public health workers than in the past, he said, adding the outbreak 'is probably wider spread than we realized.'" https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/food/2026/07/11/cyclospora-outbreak-customer-restaurant-dining/90887452007/ #PublicHealth #cyclospora #outbreak #diarrhea #food #IDmastodon

CNN: An outbreak of diarrhea caused by a parasite has hit at least 1,400 people. Here’s how to stay safe "...The good news is that cyclosporiasis doesn’t pass directly from person to person.
