[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am so confused by this thread. Abbott's formula was contaminated. Pretty clear that they need to clean up their act. Why is this thread now 7 pages?[/quote]

Because while it was bad that the formula was contaminated, some children are dependent on formula that was only made in that plant which remains closed after months.  Some kids with severe food allergies and metabolic conditions will die without their formula. [/quote]

Okay? And what do you want - the FDA to re-open a contaminated food line so more kids can die? Tell the parents to source non-Abbott or even non-American formula. I hear Americans cross the border to Canada and Mexico for lower life-saving prescription drugs all the time.[/quote]

I think it goes without saying that no one should allow themselves or their kids to become dependent on a single source of anything, but these are some pretty stressed out parents dealing with some pretty significant medical issues so I’m not going to blame them here. But if they thought the government was going to fire up the socialism machine to save their kids, they really haven’t been paying attention. The extreme right wing in this country will fight tooth and nail things that could save thousands of kids, let alone a few highly disabled ones. The sanctity of the baby’s life ends the day the birth mom decides to keep it.
