Help for the Obscene, Unnecessary Baby Formula Disaster
2022-05-16
[USSA News] As usual I must begin with this disclaimer lest the corrupt FDA send their dragoons to my front door. I’m not a doctor, I have no medical training. This column is for educational purposes and not meant to be medical advice. My right to free speech.

I doubt anyone in the U.S. isn’t aware of the horrific problem regarding the availability of baby formula. Desperate mothers across the country driving an hour or more to find at least a few cans or none. (South Carolina mother of six-month-old baby girl describes desperate plight of parents crying in Walmart after being faced with empty shelves while hunting for baby formula: ’My heart broke into 100 pieces’) Paying exorbitant prices on line. There’s been the usual ignorance on the part of buffoons and dullards on the Internet— both male & female telling mothers to just breastfeed their baby.

There are legitimate reasons why some women cannot breast feed their baby. Other women who are forced to work because two paychecks are needed just to make ends meet use baby formula. That blathering is just more distraction. Stay focused on why here in these united States of America this is even happening.

I spend a lot of time researching on the Internet (and books) and when I saw the headlines start popping up about this, I thought why? I half expected to see it is because of the Russia/Ukraine disaster. But, it appears baby formula manufacturers is pretty much controlled — just like the parasites who call themselves "mainstream media" by a small number of manufacturers: Top 10 infant formula manufacturers in the world

"The baby formula shortage became an issue for new parents back in November 2021, but this shortage is getting worse, not better. According to USA Today, "Nearly 40% of popular baby formula brands were sold out at retailers across the U.S. during the week starting April 24, according to an analysis by Datasembly, which assessed supplies at more than 11,000 stores."

#4  Sure Reuters is expert in manufacture and distribution as they were with Covid.

#3  #1 It is, uh, interesting that the Abbott facility remains closed in light of their own internal investigation and that of the FDA and CDC. They did find a strain of the bacteria in question at the facility but not in the production area.

Further, the strain of bacteria did not match that found in either of the dead infants, and in fact the infants themselves had different strains as well. Thus making for 3 demonstrably separate. Yet the facility remains closed and the White House is spreading grossly inaccurate information about the rationale.

Just in time for Billy Gates. Looks as though he should be selling into, how shall we say, a positive curve.

#2  I guess I'm living on borrowed time as my mother didn't use baby food or formula but made it herself.

#1  Sure glad this has been cleared up.
