If that's true the White House's focus should have been on putting out fires and restricting hydrants in 2021 instead of starting new social policies and focusing on nothing else for a year. Warnings from investigators about the Abbott factory came in November 2019. Where was the Biden administration then?

Oh right, laughing about sending out Covid tests to the American public.

I read this to mean the shortage will be very lengthy.

Super rare.

It’s been a big issue discussed in parenting groups.

I hope the FDA/Biden can step in. But I like a strong gov’t and all of that.

Did you ever think that they are the cause?

Why don't you tell us how they are responsible rather than a provacative accusation for which you provide no proof. Put up or shut up.

They’re responsible because the FDA shut Abbott down, a large manufacturer, with no forethought or plan that this action, even if it was the right thing to do, would cause large scale shortages as there are only a small number of baby formula manufacturers in the US. They should of had a contingency plan to avoid this mess.

The government needed a plan? It looks like Abbott needed to have a plan.

He wasn’t elected until Nov 2020. Is this a joke? Typo?

LOL. I think she’s really that uninformed. This particular talking point is moot. There are Facebook groups for formula exchange and I take pictures of formula stock and post them. For the last three weeks,my part of central VA has had plenty of the specialty formulas as well as the regular formulas. The panic should be over. Biden solved another problem caused by Trump.

Just ignorance and the belief that republicans never make mistakes. Not sure what they are smoking.

Why should Abbot have a plan when the FDA shut them down? There was clearly nobody over there thinking that if they did that it would cause a shortage and that they should do something to mitigate it.

Reporters need to ask KJP about this crisis at the press briefing.
Perhaps she will have an answer in her book.

And, in case anyone thinks this is old footage.... July 20. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/baby-formula-shortage-fda/

"Why should Abbot have a plan?" You truly are a special kind of stupid, aren't you.

The government didn't just shut Abbot down for no reason. They shut Abbot down because Abbott had contamination problems at their plant, and failed to deal with it - and babies who had their formula were getting sick and a couple of them died.

Abbott should have had a plan to keep their operations and their product clean and safe to begin with so that FDA wouldn't have had to step in and shut them down.

It's amazing how these right wing idiots think government regulators are doing things for no good reason. They demonize FDA, EPA and other regulators nonstop never acknowledging the rampant problems that corporations cause when left to their own devices.

Let's talk about idiots. .......

The bacterial infections in the infants has not been tied to anything at the plant.

DID THE FDA OR CDC FIND A LINK?
Abbott says there is no evidence to link its formulas to these illnesses. The FDA and the CDC have not disclosed any information that connects the illnesses and the plant. FDA officials said that the investigation was impeded by having only two of the four sickened babies' clinical samples.

The CDC analyzed clinical samples from two of the infants and did not find a genetic match to the environmental strains found at the plant. It also said the bacteria from the patient samples were not closely related to one another.

The FDA and Abbott tested environmental and product samples at the plant. They found five environmental samples containing Cronobacter sakazakii. The product samples tested negative.

Honestly asking - how is that possible? This has been going on for half a year. There have been dozens of shipments from Europe. Did US manufacturing plants completely shut down?
