"not to diminish" as you wave away 2 people that have died and make a false equivalency to traffic accidents.

This is not a data exercise, this is real life and 1 person getting sick from this stuff is too much.

ONE person getting SICK is too much??? We’ve never been within a million miles of this random bar you’ve set. No country has. It’s absolutely insane to try and hold the position that our food must be so perfectly clean that it cannot ever get anyone sick. That would almost certainly be impossible. If you can’t even engage with reality, nobody will take these massive statements seriously.
