A shortage of baby formula in the U.S. is leading desperate parents to drive hours in search of supplies, while health officials warn against trying to make formula at home https://t.co/kLKXReZVel

There actually is a baby formula shortage. This is not just some Republican talking point.
Babies could die because they don’t have their corn syrup/soy/seed oil juice.
The FDA “dropped the ball’’ on the country’s baby-formula crisis — shutting down a crucial plant on top of product recalls and then not warning parents of the ramifications, experts told The Post on Friday.
Desperate moms and dads have been trawling stores across the country in search of baby formula ever since mega-manufacturer Abbott issued a safety recall in February for products made at its plant in Sturgis, Mich., over contamination concerns.
The Food and Drug Administration later closed the plant after federal inspectors found Abbott failed to maintain sanitary conditions and procedures there — sparking a cascade of crippling effects on the supply chain.
“Somebody, whether it be Abbott or the FDA, should have realized, ‘We’re stopping production at one of a handful of plants that produces baby formula and what are the repercussions,’ ’’ said William Marler, a lawyer specializing in food-safety cases, to The Post.
“That’s where the FDA and Abbott dropped the ball. … They could have recalled the product without shutting the facility. They do recalls all the time without shutting the facility down.”
Manhattan mom Amy Daly, 38, of the Upper West Side lamented Friday that she was forced to take her 11-month-old baby Alice off infant formula early when the shortage hit.
Haha.
So the 38-year-old with the infant isn’t breastfeeding? Imagine my shock.
Democrats are admitting there is a shortage and are blaming – wait for it – greedy corporations.
The baby formula shortage is due to Abbott, the nation’s largest formula manufacturer, closing one of its plants amid a recall due to contamination. Four infants who consumed its products were hospitalized with bacterial infections — TWO DIED.
Why won’t the media report that?

The same baby formula producer that had contaminated product and led to this shortage used billions of dollars to buy back stock instead of investing in their product safety. Putting profits before the safety of our children is unacceptable.

A few days ago, they would have blamed evil Russians, but that excuse has apparently been deranked by the focus group people.
A Florida Congressmaness claimed that pallets of baby formula were being shipped to illegal immigrants crossing the US border – she then provided photographic evidence of this.
The first photo is from this morning at the Ursula Processing Center at the U.S. border. Shelves and pallets packed with baby formula.
The second is from a shelf right here at home. Formula is scarce.

Obviously, sending it to the border didn’t cause the shortage, but it is pretty funny that the government is ensuring illegal immigrants can feed their infants while effectively saying American infants will just have to starve.
The actual cause of the shortage is a breakdown of the global supply chain, which is the result of the coronavirus hoax and the Ukraine hoax, but right now probably more so a result of China ceasing to cooperate with the supply line system. I don’t know if baby formula is specifically made in China, but based on what I know about boxed foods in general, I would assume that much of it is made in various factories inside America with various ingredients shipped as powders from China. (I suspect most of the corn syrup, soy, and seed oil is not Chinese, but formula contains a vast array of artificially produced nutrients designed to mimic the nutrients in human tit milk, and most of those come from China.)
Even if that is not the case, however, when a supply chain breaks down, it’s not just one product – this is a whole complex interlinking system, so a breakdown in one food product’s chain can affect another.
Maybe the US shouldn’t be threatening China with war when China produces all of these products the US population needs for survival?
There have been all kinds of shortages over the last year, it’s just that baby formula is a necessity for many selfish whores who refuse to use their natural tits to feed their children. To be fair to these stupid bitches, after you stop breast feeding, the body stops producing milk, so you can’t just all of a sudden start feeding a baby with your tits if you haven’t done it recently.
Why you would place the survival of your infant on faith in a global supply chain?
Just try to process how selfish and stupid women are. They literally can’t process anything that is not right in front of them, and believe that “baby formula comes from the grocery store.” Some of these women are going to end up just feeding the babies normal pasteurized milk, which is going to cause even more health and developmental problems than replacing breast milk with a chemical corn syrup compound.
