About this episode

Derek discusses the cyclospora outbreak and contrasts Taco Bell's proactive measures with RFK Jr's silence on the issue.

Listen to the full episode A cyclospora outbreak has caused thousands of Americans to experience explosive diarrhea across 18 states. The CDC still has no idea where it's coming from. This has caused doctors to issue public health guidance, while even Taco Bell has pulled items from its menu nationwide to prevent any issues. RFK Jr? Not a peep on it. Derek looks at the many cuts that have led to this embarrassing episode. First, though, he looks at MAHA's recent attack on Dave Wallace-Wells New York Times article on MAHA, which warned about the very problems the cyclospora outbreak represents.
