Dozens of people across the U.S. have contracted E. coli traced to ingredients in McDonald's Quarter Pounders, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) said Tuesday.

So far, 49 people from 10 states have fallen ill with a strain known as E. coli O157:H7, which causes a severe intestinal infection in humans.

Most of the cases have been in Colorado, which has 27 reported cases, and Nebraska, which has nine reported cases, according to the CDC.

Every patient interviewed by the CDC said they ate at McDonald's before falling ill and most said they ate Quarter Pounder hamburgers, specifically.

After what we’ve been through with Covid, I don’t believe ANYTHING the CDC says.

Could it be that people are intentionally poisoning the McD food?

I could me mistaken, but aren’t the quarter pound burgers at McDonalds fresh, not frozen as their other offerings are?

Must be getting close to time for a pandemic to shut down the country. Don’t worry about voting ... they already have a mail in ballot printed up with your name on it ... and they already filled it out and mailed it in for you.

Exactly what they did to me here in Fulton County GA in 2020, and just today our “Supreme Court” told them it’s perfectly OK to do the same again this year.

What a coincidence.

Anyone know any of these people? Because it occurs to me this could be entirely fabricated, we would have no way of knowing.
