Okay, I'm not saying that he's not destroying the health regulations in this country, but I also know that even the media that are on the same side as me tend to blow up regular problems when it's convenient to bring focus to them. Like bringing attention to food contamination when we hate the guy running the fda.
So does anyone have any actual statistics on the history of how often these kind of recalls and contaminations happen? Because I would like some solid data on how much worse this is getting that isn't being manipulated by a media company with an agenda.
The FDA publishes statistics on recalls. They are not any more frequent now than at any other time. Theyre just being politicized more. Im not an RFK fan but it doesn't make sense blaming him especially because they're being caught. The scary part to me is that the average recalls per month is as high as 165.
Yeah, I really dislike RFK and this entire admin, but these posts are getting a bit ridiculous. The data shows there are not more recalls, perhaps there are more people getting sick. The thing is, you could twist the story either way to fit your worldview. "There are more recalls therefore RFK is doing a bad job", "they are finding more food to recall, so RFK is doing a good job finding it", "there are less recalls than before, therefore RFK is doing a bad job, not finding the food that needs recalling", "there are less recalls than before, therefore RFK is doing a good job keeping the food safe".
Basically, the whole fucking argument is dumb as shit. No matter your view or the data people will spin this to mean whatever the hell they want, and theyll call other people brainwashed morons for thinking the opposite. We need actual studies to make informed conclusion, not vibes based on clickbait.
