FDA Suddenly Cares About Babies, Strikes Deal With Formula Maker
2022-05-19
[Victory Girls] Monday the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) demonstrated how much they care, reaching a deal with baby formula maker, Abbott Nutrition, to re-open one of their production plants to ease the baby formula shortage.
"Abbott Nutrition, the maker of Similac and other popular baby formulas, said Monday it has come to an agreement with the Food and Drug Administration to fix safety issues at a Sturgis, Mich., factory that has been shuttered for more than three months, contributing to a nationwide formula shortage."
For the freaked-out families trying to feed their babies, while the news seems good, it really isn’t. Abbott indicates it could be two months before formula, which includes labels like Similac, Alimentum and EleCare, is on shelves.

Despite all the media spinning and understandable fear, here’s the facts.

First, Abbott Nutrition, voluntarily closed their Sturgis, Michigan plant a few months ago, after hearing reports infants died from bacteria that possibly came from their formulas. The FDA has posted those press releases:

#4  So the shutdown was initially due to the deaths. Autopsy's showed none of the babies died from the formula. The FDA testing found a different bacteria in the plant and it remained closed.
The issue I have with this is how the FED handles it. It seems they had the plant closed and walked away. This is not how the FDA should act.

The FAA is a good example of right. When the FAA audits a business and finds a shut down worthy fault they dont just walk away. They identify the issues and help the company with the solution to get then compliant and back in the air. Its painful, but it worked. It seems from my perspective, and I hope I am wrong, that the FDA identified it and has walked away until the company figures it out.

#1  People have died from the Jab*. Did the FDA apply the same protocol of shutting down plants?

*give such a large and diverse population, various vaccines do and can have fatal effects on very small numbers of the recipients.
