Abbott, however, strikes back, and it makes things look even worse for the Biden administration.
When news of the baby formula shortage first became widely known, one of the main causes, we were told, was that Abbott, the company that manufactures the formula, had put tainted formula onto the marketplace, killing two infants and forcing the FDA to shut down its plant. And indeed, that's exactly what Jen Psaki blamed during her final White House press conference before heading to MSNBC. Abbott, however, pushed back hard, with facts supporting something Psaki knew or should have known: a federal investigation has shown it's innocent of the charge.
There are multiple reasons why there is a baby formula shortage in America. The problem already began to make itself known last July thanks to the same supply chain issues affecting large swathes of America. That did not trigger action from either Biden or Pete Buttigieg, the stunningly incompetent Transportation secretary and daddy to twins dependent on formula (unless they've done something really freaky with Chasten Glezman).
When it comes specifically to Abbott, according to Tucker Carlson's Friday show, the main supplier of formula is the United States government. That's because its WIC program, which provides supplemental foods for women, infants, and children, contracts with Abbott for baby formula. There's no reason for the Biden administration not to have known that there was a slowdown. Incidentally, because Abbott worked with the government, that relationship inevitably squeezed out the competition, making the market vulnerable if Abbott went offline.
SNIP
Abbott, however, politely pointed out, without explicitly saying so, that Psaki is lying — and she must know she's lying because it's not a secret that there is no evidence whatsoever that Abbott's formula had anything to do with the babies' death:

The facts, however, are critical: A comprehensive investigation by Abbott, FDA and CDC found no evidence that our formulas caused infant illnesses. Specifically... [2/11]

Never attribute to malice what could easily be explained by incompetence.
Problem is that I don't believe these people are incompetent at all. I believe they know exactly what they're doing, and most of what we're seeing is planned. They want to bring down America like Venezuela. They'll make it a "soft landing."
For Dems, being a good liar is a resume enhancer.
You bet they know what they’re doing.
Front(wo)men spew what they’re fed.
It’s their job and they can usually move on to their next prostitutive, lucrative assignment with ease.
The script writers are the turds who need to be flushed, out.
..... pushed back hard, with facts supporting something Psaki knew or should have known
LOL you could include this in about any article of ‘saki.
We were in WalMart yesterday so I looked at the Formula shelf out of curiosity. It was pretty well stocked with several brand names. An employee was filling the rest off a big pallet of product.
“ killing two infants and forcing the FDA to shut down its plant.”
BS. How many people have died from the covid jab and it’s still available?
Incidentally, because Abbott worked with the government, that relationship inevitably squeezed out the competition, making the market vulnerable if Abbott went offline.

The downside of a “public private partnership”, AKA corporatism, AKA fascism.
“Food riots, especially revolving around starving babies, may be the thing that gets people so agitated that the Biden administration can declare martial law.
The administration’s confidence in its ability to control such a situation, and a fake ginned-up one at that, is admirable…and tragic.
Who was the FReeper who gave her the nickname ‘Ginger Goebels?’ They was pure genius.
Well, you know, they do have planes and nukes they can use on us if we get too uppity.
psaki has been telling lies her entire public career. lying about this issue isn’t anything new for her.
Now she can go lie on MSDNC.
It’s not a lie if she believes it, is it? I mean, for a DemocRat.
Several “misstatements” this week from the communications staff at the White House. Fitting exit for the lyin’ queen.
Yeah get them Battleships out of mothballs then watch out…
True. They’ve done that before (maybe not battleships) using naval artillery against American civilians on US soil. Lucky I don’t live near a navigable waterway.
The formula shortage is a fake problem.
