THE GREAT BABY FORMULA SHORTAGE
https://www.powerlineblog.com/archives/2022/05/the-great-baby-formula-shortage.php
--- Quote ---wo years ago it was toilet paper, now it is baby formula–a much more serious shortage. I am tuned in to it in part because one of my daughters is the mother of eight-month-old twins and has had a hard time finding formula. What is going on here? My colleague John Phelan looks at the issue and concludes that the culprits are shutdowns and the FDA:
--- Quote ---What is going on? The Wall Street Journal explains:
There are two reasons for the shortage. Supply chain issues caused by the Covid-19 pandemic have made baby formula harder to find for months. The shortage worsened after Abbott Laboratories, a major formula manufacturer, voluntarily recalled some products and closed a plant where the products were made in Sturgis, Mich.

The Abbott Labs plant is now re-opening, not apparently being the source of the contamination that the FDA investigated.

Gooberment over-reaction to Covid plus FDA conclusion-jumping ... brilliant!

Why is biggest baby formula plant in US STILL shut down after three months? Abbott says plant is safe and was not responsible for bacteria that killed two kids - but FDA refuses to reopen it as parents across US struggle to feed their babies
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10801581/FDA-refuses-say-baby-formula-plant-reopen-despite-companys-claims-facility-safe.html
--- Quote ---The biggest baby formula supplier in the U.S. has denied its Michigan plant is responsible for the deaths of two children despite the FDA closing it down.
The plant was shutdown 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.
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'.

Abbott Laboratories is still closed. The FDA had some major explaining to do.

Illegal migrants first to get ‘pallets’ of hard-to-find baby formula

--- Quote ---The nationwide shortage of baby formula that has sent mothers desperately rushing from store to store has evaded one lucky group: illegal immigrants detained by Border Patrol.
According to videos posted by a Florida lawmaker, the Biden administration has been shipping “pallets” of baby formula to migrant holding facilities.
“They are sending pallets, pallets of baby formula to the border,” said Republican Rep. Kat Cammack in one of two online postings yesterday. “Meanwhile, in our own district at home, we cannot find baby formula,” she added, holding a photo of empty shelves where the formula would be.

Guess, where it went, to illegals.

Two words for the White House's sanctioned invasion... 'knotted hemp'.
Eupher:
FDA cloaks itself in the banner of the old cartoon Dudley Do-right. "I'll save you, Nell!"
In point of fact, FDA -- much like the CDC -- is a political organization run by hacks. The only comparison I can give it is the California Board of Pharmacy. I've had experience with both of those organizations and I can tell you that they both do a great job of intimidation -- simply because they can.
