McDonald's shares dropped in extended trading Tuesday after the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said an E. coli outbreak linked to McDonald's Quarter Pounder burgers has led to 10 hospitalizations and one death.

The agency said 49 cases have been reported in 10 states from Sept. 27 to Oct. 11, with most of the illnesses in Colorado and Nebraska. "Most" sick people reported eating a McDonald's Quarter Pounder, the CDC added.

One of the patients developed hemolytic uremic syndrome, which is a serious condition that can cause kidney failure. An older adult in Colorado died.

McDonald's shares dropped about 9% in after-hours trading Tuesday.

“””I find the timing of this announcement.....suspicious.”””


It reminds me of the Clinton era days when Clinton’s DOJ went after Microsoft because Gates was not making political contributions.

Considering this all started on Sept 27th, they could have just announced it then, they didnt have to wait til now to announce it when it was obvious what the supposed cause was

Use the ingredients to make 0.26 pounders instead and the problem will be solved.

Nothing in a Google search of the news prior to Trump cooking fries at McDonald’s.

Ain’t that strange . . .

CDC: Doing the Bidding of Democrats since January, 1977.

The FIRST thing Jimmy did as President was to instruct Joseph Califano, his new Sec of HEW, to FIRE David Sencer the competent, experienced head of the Communicable Disease Center.

Next came the name change to “Centers for Disease Control” and the shift of focus from contagious diseases to “life style” issues. No one noticed. It was still the “CDC.”

And, of course the usual weponization and attacks on political enemies followed.

Most people know the CDC is just another slimy tentacle of the Democrat/Socialist Party. This was made clear during the Covid madness.

Yep, McDonalds will pay a high for helping Trump make a campaign Democrats are evil, mean-spirited and very vengeful. It won’t stop here.

This is the part I find odd...

“Most” sick people reported eating a McDonald’s Quarter Pounder, the CDC added.”

How can you undercook a burger at MickeyD’s?

And if it wasn’t the burger, what was it? Cross contamination from something else?

A sick employee who didn’t handwash properly if at all?

Was Mickey D’s really the source of the infection?

No way! During Covid they were tight with Trump. He went right along with their burn cities but no choir routine.

Most likli it has little to do swith coporate McDonalds and instead reflects inadequate operations at some franchises. The CDC has decided to campaign for Harris.
