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

You don’t have to breast feed if you don’t want to. It’s not my kid, so I don’t have a dog in that fight. I often wonder how many of the “can’t” crowd actually just don’t want to bother, but that’s up to them.

However, formula IS easy to get.

It amazes me that with this vast ocean of information out here, all people seem to be able to use it for is to whine and complain and be a victim. It takes 30 seconds of searching to find a recipe for baby formula. It takes maybe 30 minutes to an hour of research to find a really good one that will fit your particular needs/goals.

People can’t take care of themselves anymore. They can’t even park their ass in a chair and read for 20 minutes about something that might matter for the health of their child. It’s easier to just whine. They’ve become wards of the state. Even so-called ‘conservatives’. These are the same people who took experimental untested gene therapy because Savanah Guthrie said it was safe and effective on the Today Show. By watching that, they claimed they were ‘following the science’.

People who actually can take care of themselves are denigrated as ‘narcissistic’ or ‘uncaring’. People who actually have the ability to think critically are laughed at by these walking corpses ambling their way to certain death.

Maybe someone should think of the children and save them from these zombies before they are hypnotized and zombified just like mom and dad. If there even is a dad these days.

Those are good points. Case in point is with this COVID. I never got sick, never wore a mask and never social distanced. I simply read up on how to take preventive measures, like getting lots of fresh air, exercise, vitamin D and zinc. Meanwhile all these people are holed up in their houses wiping down Amazon boxes with alcohol before taking them into the house. The world has gone insane.

“And if more mothers would breast feed then there’d be more formula around for the kids who actually need it.”

I’ve already gone from chewing bubble gum to chewing candle wax and using found long lengths of twine instead of a belt. I’m fed up with how we didn’t think of all this before!

Now we're cookin! And any mom who doesn't know what it's like to rinse a poop-filled cloth diaper in the toilet prior to laundering should be placed in the stocks and tomatoes flung upon her.

Am I the only person who noticed that the baby formula shortage comes just as the supreme Court is poised to overturn Roe v. Wade? If they're denied their opportunity to kill babies, (especially minority ones) the way they have, they'll find another way.

Just STOP with this bs answer. I see it everywhere. Some women CAN’T breastfeed, some babies can’t latch on. Just STOP. This has been a problem throughout history. Ever heard of ‘wet nurses’?

“Just STOP with this bs answer. I see it everywhere.”

Here’s some thoughtful information from the CDC:

https://www.cdc.gov/breastfeeding/about-breastfeeding/why-it-matters.html

“Breastfeeding provides unmatched health benefits for babies and mothers. It is the clinical gold standard for infant feeding and nutrition, with breast milk uniquely tailored to meet the health needs of a growing baby. We must do more to create supportive and safe environments for mothers who choose to breastfeed.”

Dr. Ruth Petersen, director of CDC’s Division of Nutrition, Physical Activity, and Obesity

This issue shouldn't be about one's personal opinions on breastmilk or how to best feed a baby. It's about watching our food, fuel, and supply chain be systematically wiped out before our very eyes. Seeing empty shelves of any product that has never been an issue before, should be very concerning.

I make jokes about chicken wings. Can I live without them...of course! Will I starve without them? Of course not! Are they bad for me? I'd bet they are. Should the fact that restaurant menus for them now say "market price" like they're some sort of Maine lobster worry me? Absolutely!

Trouble with gas prices? Buy an EV.
Can't get baby formula? Use your breast.
Can't get chicken wings? Have a nugget.

There's a problem. A big fat soviet-style problem going on. Certainly we can all agree on THAT right?

There’s a shortage of pediatric shakes (pediasure, etc.)
Are geriatric shakes (Ensure, Boost, etc.) an adequate substitute?

I’m thinking so but not sure.

So, some cabal wants to intentionally kill infants?

Okay…why would they want to do that?
