“Hey, everyone. I’m here today to tell you how we can make America healthy again. And the first thing you need to do is” —— “The C.D.C. is quietly cutting back on its monitoring of certain food-borne illnesses.” “Robert F. Kennedy cares more about human beings” —— “A nationwide Cyclospora outbreak.” “And health” —— “Night sweats.” “Than anybody.” “Sick every time I eat.” “If you love our country, you’ve got to take care of yourself.” “Eliminated the National Advisory Committee on Microbiological Criteria for Foods.” “He’s absolutely committed to getting dangerous chemicals out of our environment.” “Health officials still haven’t found the exact source of the outbreak.” “Trump says he wants to make America healthy again.” “This year in particular, there are a lot more cases, as you mentioned, than we typically see.” “We cannot have a strong country if we have sick citizens.” “As a parasitic intestinal infection linked to produce.” “MAGA, MAHA. Maybe those are just the sounds they expect you to make while you’re on the toilet.” “The food that we’re eating is less safe. And this is just one of the many things that we now need to fix going forward.”
