The baby formula shortage looks to be intentional

There have been 25 coincidental fires at food plants across the nation. Reuters tries to tell us that it is not a conspiracy, but you will remember that they happily spread the Russian collusion/Hunter Biden laptop Russian disinformation propaganda. So, it seems reasonable to have doubts, especially as China and Bill Gates are competing to buy up farms.

But it's the baby formula shortage that really is disturbing. Sen. Tom Cotton calls it a "national crisis", not that any democrats care. Congress just authorized $40 billion for Ukraine but has nothing for baby formula here. The nation's largest producer of formula is Abbott Labs. It's production of baby formula was halted three months ago

The plant was shut down nearly three months ago after a bacterial infection caused the deaths and other serious illnesses.

In mid-February Abbott Laboratories issued a nationwide baby formula recall and ceased operations at its plant in Sturgis, Michigan amid reports of babies contracting bacterial infections from its products.

But an investigation cleared Abbott

An Abbott spokesperson told DailyMail.com Tuesday that 'thorough investigation' by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and Abbott revealed 'infant formula produced at our Sturgis facility is not the likely source of infection in the reported cases and that there was not an outbreak caused by products from the facility'.

However, despite the findings of the investigation, the plant remains shuttered nearly three months later, fueling the nationwide baby formula shortage.

Other bacteria was detected but it in a non-contact area.

Abbott alleges that none of the formula distributed to consumers tested positive for Cronobacter or Salmonella. The manufacturer claims the FDA and Abbott officials both tested retained products for the bacterias and yielded negative results.

Abbott notes no trace of Salmonella was found at the Sturgis plant and the Cronobacter that was found in environmental testing during the investigation was in non-product contact areas of the facility. The company alleged the traces of Cronobacter at their plant have 'not been linked to the two available patient samples or any other known infant illness.'

But the FDA keeps the hammer down

Abbott phone representatives have also been telling parents the FDA is 'holding back' metabolic formula made during the recall period, which is why the current supply hasn't gone out, Politico reported.

The FDA, disputing the company's allegations, issued a statement to the newspaper on Saturday reading: 'The FDA has not delayed the release of any specialty and metabolic infant formula products and the agency strongly disagrees with this characterization of events.

This tends to leave one wondering what the truth is. That is, until you see the map of the worst shortages

Darn shame that mothers don’t have a safe, time-tested way to feed their babies.

Releasing covid when the economy was on fire and trump seemed all but unstoppable was also intentional

I’d wager that a lot of it is being handed out to illegal immigrants by those NGOs we never hear anything about.

This morning on a Boston talk show, one caller said one reason that baby formula is becoming so scarce for Americans is the Feds are buying it up and distributing significant amounts to illegals coming across the border with children.

Wouldn't surprise me - given our "Ukraine First" rats in White House.

FWIW, most of the pics and vid I’ve seen of the border crossers are military age males unencumbered by women and kids.

Don’t think they’ll be needing baby formula.

That doesn’t work for all mothers.

My ex couldn’t breast feed. My kids would have starved to death.

If this is intentional, then it certainly not helping Biden. I can only imagine the thinking of young mothers and families. This is happening purely under Biden’s lack of leadership. Aren’t young females a huge segment of the Democrat voting base? Maybe they will wise up.

Its impossible to know if it was “intentional.”

We DO know that most of our supply lines are highly-extended, controlled by China, or controlled by a relatively few politicized corporate cronies. All to squeeze a few more pennies of debt-service out for Wall Street, and squeeze American employees and middle class a little bit more

Putin, China, Abbot Labs, etc... have proven - in a crony-capitalist, non-free market economy, its easy to control the choke-points.

Parents who can’t figure out this problem literally deserve to have their children seized and raised by people with a modicum of intelligence. It’s probably for the best anyway, since any idiot who can’t figure out this dilemma probably were dumb enough to also take the clot shot and won’t make it past the baby turning 5 anyway.

The globalists are doing to America what the russians did to the Ukrainians in the 30's.

The American Holodomor. But let's ironically side with the globalists in their proxy war in Ukraine instead.

You better have prepped to survive once the grocery stores are completely (and again, ironically) soviet with empty shelves.

We can't survive as a nation when anti-Americans are controlling every aspect of it, from government to education to media to big business. Recognize that that is their goal.

Not everybody can nurse and some medically fragile infants have to have special formula. My second grandchild had dystonia and was unable to nurse properly. She ended up with a feeding tube and had to have special prescription formula for her feedings. It was delivered every other week.

My little sister could only eat Neutramigen when she was an infant. Back then, Mom and Dad had to order it through the pediatrician’s office because it wasn’t sold through retail stores.

I hope that your family never has to go through something like this and that if you do, people show compassion.

Cow milk, condensed milk and even better is goat milk. Mom’s milk is best.

In replying to a post about food price inflation on Facebook, I noticed that FB blocks me ever time I try to post a “I did that!” photo of Biden.
