    I have proposed nothing to make government "bigger" it is you and others saying government is supposed to take care of women because they can't take care of themselves and THAT is what is making government bigger.

    Biden’s Baby Formula Shortage
    A Michigan plant has been closed for months, despite no evidence it caused infant illness.

    Like many other goods in the era of lockdowns and Covid regulations, baby formula has been subject to supply constraints. But there is one specific event that created the current crisis. On Feb. 17 of this year, the FDA announced:

    Today, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration announced it is investigating consumer complaints of Cronobacter sakazakii and Salmonella Newport infections. All of the cases are reported to have consumed powdered infant formula produced from Abbott Nutrition’s Sturgis, Michigan facility. As a result of the ongoing investigation, along with the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and state and local partners, the FDA is alerting consumers to avoid purchasing or using certain powdered infant formula products produced at this facility. This is an ongoing investigation, and the firm is working with the FDA to initiate a voluntary recall of the potentially affected product.
    Ever since, while the plant has remained idle, various Washington officials have continued to insist on calling it a “voluntary recall.” But what choice did the manufacturer have after the FDA investigated and decided to warn consumers not to buy the product?​

    White House economist Brian Deese seems to have given away the game during a Friday morning appearance on CNN. Here’s a portion of the network’s transcript in which Mr. Deese is interviewed by CNN’s Kaitlan Collins:

    COLLINS: And I believe the first complaints about this facility happened last fall. I don’t think the FDA started interviewing whistleblowers until maybe December or so. Of course, as you noted, the recall started earlier this year. And so I’m wondering if the sense inside the White House is that the FDA moved quickly enough on this issue?DEESE: Well, those are independent scientific judgments that I will leave to the FDA. What I can tell you is that they took action to put in place that recall. And we have been working closely on this issue, in the wake of that recall, to try to address the attending impacts of that.
    Sorry, who put in place that recall? And more importantly, why did they put in place a recall given the danger of leaving parents without formula? Finding a common bacteria somewhere in a factory does not automatically mean that babies were ever at any risk. And what about the risk of having no formula when a major producer of a highly regulated product is idled for months?​

    To this day, while Abbott’s plant remains idle and is awaiting the FDA’s blessing to resume production—and while parents desperately seek formula—the White House remains confused about what exactly the FDA found in Michigan and who exactly initiated that “voluntary” recall.

    At a Thursday press conference, White House press secretary Jen Psaki claimed “the issue here is that a manufacturer was taken offline because they did not produce a safe baby formula.” Ms. Psaki added:

    This issue is because there was unsafe product that the FDA recalled to save babies’ lives.​

    That does not appear to be true. The Journal’s Joseph Walker reports:

    In recent weeks, Abbott has strongly denied that the cronobacter infections were caused by contamination at its plant, despite the presence of the bacteria there found by the company and FDA inspectors. Where inspectors did find traces of the bacteria, the areas weren’t in contact with formula products, the company said.Cronobacter is commonly present in the environment, and has been found on refrigerators, kitchen sinks and countertops, food safety experts have said.The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention performed genetic testing on formula samples from two of the sick infants and found they didn’t match cronobacter strains discovered in Abbott’s plant. “It is possible that the cases included in this investigation occurred due to contamination of the formula after it was opened, which is how cronobacter often gets into powdered formula,” a CDC spokeswoman told the Journal in April.Abbott said on Wednesday that all finished products made at the Michigan plant tested negative for cronobacter.Open containers from the four infants were tested, and three of them tested negative, Abbott said. One container tested positive for two strains of cronobacter, one of which matched the strain that caused the infant’s infection and the other that matched a strain found on a bottle of distilled water that was used to mix the formula. Neither strain matched those found in Abbott’s Michigan plant, the company said.“After a thorough review of all available data, there is no evidence to link our formulas to these infant illnesses,” Abbott said.​

    It sounds like to me that there is a serious problem with the products from this plant. But the FDA should expedite their investigation and speed things along.

    If abortion is banned (bigger government) then more poor kids will be born that the government( taxpayers) will pay for.


    No, government should take care of poor CHILDREN.
    Poor women have a harder time taking care of themselves and their children with more children.
    Government taking away their rights is BIGGER GOVERNMENT.

    It's about the women and how we must also give them free. BC because they can't manage their own lives and take responsibility for them.

    Government doing it's PROPER job of PROTECTING innocent human life is not "bigger government" and I reject your stupid comment that to make government smaller we should just kill innocent human life.

    And I reject your even more stupid supposition that an unborn zygote is human life at all, innocent or otherwise and your idea that government should grow endlessly to protect however many more "human" lives conservatives want to come up with

    Why, frex, does human life begin only at conception? Why aren't we arresting men for genocide every time they have a nocturnal emission? or prosecuting women for murder every time they use a sanitary napkin? It's no less arbitrary a difference than born and unborn.

    It's called Biology and Embryology 101

    It's called Biology and Embryology 101

    Go learn what is a gamete. Go learn the difference between haploid and diploid cells as I did when I majored in biology.

    You didn't refute pone word of the post of mine you quoted.

    Uh, ya, more taxes is bigger government.


    WHY TF do you want kids born to those you deem """they can't manage their own lives and take responsibility for them.""


    So you think those people will be good for those "innocent human lives""" don't you like those "innocent human lives" ????
