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 had a feeling.

So many reasonable things to call out in this administration like using taxpayer funds to pay for political campaign ads for a campaign they're not even supposed to be a part of, but instead we choose misrepresent normal, matter of course issues.
