From the post:

>Health authorities have issued the highest risk level to tomatoes recalled for potentially containing deadly bacteria. Last month, Williams Farms Repack LLC voluntarily recalled several sizes of its vine ripe tomatoes after they were found to potentially contain salmonella. On Wednesday, the FDA gave the recall a Class I designation, its most dangerous classification. This means 'there is a reasonable probability that the use of or exposure to a violative product will cause serious adverse health consequences or death.' The recall covers shipments from April 23 to April 28 sold in Georgia, North Carolina and South Carolina.

I agree, a recall is a recall though and if I can avoid getting a little sick for a few days I will happily toss that into compost and leave it be.

Yep, a recall is definitely warranted if Salmonela is detected above the permissible threshold. But the language in their report is extremely hyperbolic to the point of being designed to induce panic.

"there is a reasonable probability that the use of or exposure to a violative product will cause serious adverse health consequences or death."

To the lay reader, a "reasonable probability" would likely be read as something like >50% chance and the consequence they are inferring that has a "reasonable probability" is "serious injury or death". That is objectively false. The language also indicates that this reasonable probability WILL cause the undesired outcome.

Ingesting food that is contaminated with Salmonela would have a reasonable probability of resulting in a Salmonela infection, which most people probably would not even notice (no noticeable symptoms), some may develop diahrea and a very small proportion could develop serious complications including death if they are at particular risk.

Ideally, the warning would have outlined the category of people at particular risk. I.e. the very young, very old and immunologically infirm.

Yeah, clickbait is clickbait. Then again, with all of the c-vaxed out there maybe they are far more likely to have problems than the non-c-vaxed? Some study just came out saying that getting the flu vax (even for old people) increases your chances of getting the flu by like 26% or something like that.

I stopped getting it the second my parents could not longer force me to get it. I got sick every single time I got the flu vax. Since I stopped getting it decades ago... Maybe like 2-3 times? Not every single damn year.

Yeah the flu jab suffers from some (though not all) of the same problems as the COVID jabs. You can't provide immunity from infection for a respiratory disease by giving a systemic vaccine. A systemic vaccine (injected) will, assuming it works, create IgG antibodies, which reside in the systemic immune compartment. To become immune to a respiratory disease, you need mucosal compartment immunity, which utilizes IgA antibodies. There is literally no way that an injected vaccine can generate any form of immunity to a respiratory infection. It could actually harm natural immunity though, through the generation of IgG4 antibodies, which act to suppress the bodies immune response. This is particularly evident in repeated treatment within a short timeframe (regular boosters). Indeed, repeated antigen exposure is a treatment that is sometimes used to treat severe allergies (allergen immunotherapy).

It's a bit funny, a lot of the people at work are currently freaking out about the flu. So, they all rushed out and got their flu shots. Consequently, lots of them are now off work... with the flu. Management response was to remind people to get their flu shots, and that they could also consider a COVID booster. SMDH. Luckily, the boss is a reasonable guy and was fine even in the height of COVID when I told him there was no way I was getting the jab, mandated or not.
