Remember this? Back in August, Pelosi called Republicans the Ecoli Club since she said the republicans would cut budgets for Food and Drug and the EPA.
“I say to [Republicans], do you have children that breathe air? Do you have grandchildren that drink water?,” Pelosi asked. “I’m a mom and I have five kids … as a mom I was vigilant about food safety, right moms? If you could depend on the government for one thing it was that you had to be able to trust the water that our kids drank and the food that they ate. But this is the E. coli club. They do not want to spend money to do that.” […]
“Bless their hearts, it’s the philosophy Republicans in Congress have,” Pelosi added. “And bless their hearts, they act upon their beliefs. It’s an ideology. We shouldn’t have a government role. So reduce the police, the firemen, the teachers, reduce their role and give tax cuts to the high end. That will stimulate the economy and everything will be good.”
Is it fair to call you and your fellow Democrats the Meningitis Club now?
Despite the billions you spend, the regulations you lay on top of regulations, and the increasing numbers of government employees, some guy in Massachusetts is blending steroids from what looks like a garage and shipping them all over the country.
So far, here’s the tally.
An outbreak of fungal meningitis has been linked to steroid shots for back pain. The medication, made by a specialty pharmacy in Massachusetts, has been recalled.
Latest numbers from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention:
Illnesses: 297, including three joint infections.
Deaths: 23
States: 16; Florida, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Texas and Virginia.
Scare tactics are scary when they come back to haunt you, Ms. Pelosi. But, you know everything about being scary.
