Abbott Restarts Baby Formula Plant: Crisis-Inducing Shutdown Was Likely Needless

In what will come as welcome news to anxious parents across the country, Abbott Nutrition announced it restarted production of infant formula at its Sturgis, Michigan plant on Saturday.

The company is prioritizing EleCare and other specialty and metabolic formulas, with the product expected to start reaching consumers on June 20. 

Abbott closed the plant in February as the Food and Drug Administration investigated the deaths of two infants who succumbed to bacterial infections. Each had consumed powdered formula from the Sturgis facility, as did two other infants who were hospitalized but recovered.

The shutdown turned a preexisting shortage—fueled by supply chain problems and hoarding—into an all-out empty-shelf crisis, prompting the waiving of import regulations and restrictions, and a military airlift of formula from Europe. As of May 22, 73% of baby formula products were out of stock. 

However, a detailed look at the FDA investigation suggests the three-month shutdown was unnecessary, as the FDA investigation failed to produce any evidence linking Abbott's Sturgis facility or its formula to the illnesses and deaths.

Amazon’s Woke ‘Pride Month’ Strategy Backfires Instantly; Own Employees Staging Protest

Amazon learned the hard way on Wednesday that no amount of political pandering will ever be enough to satisfy the radical left.

According to Business Insider reporter Katherine Long, Amazon was attempting to host a flag-raising ceremony to celebrate “pride month.”

However, Long said a subset of about 30 Amazon employees expressed dissatisfaction with the company’s wokeness level.

During the ceremony, these leftists decided to hold a “die-in” as a way to “protest of the company’s continued sale of what they say are transphobic books.”

Two New Studies Show Link Between Incurable, Degenerative Brain Disease and the Experimental Covid-19 Vaccine

Two new clinical studies – one peer-reviewed by researchers in Turkey, and one pre-print by researchers in France – have begun to establish an alarming link between an incurable, degenerative brain disease called Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) and the experimental Covid-19 vaccine.

CJD is a “rare” disease that is caused by abnormal infectious proteins in the brain called “prions,” according to NHS.

Although the presence of prions is not necessarily dangerous or deadly, the proteins will cause degenerative brain damage if they become diseased or misfolded. Once this process begins, the malfunctioning prions will continue to corrupt other cells, leading to a prognosis that is always fatal.

Biden "Badly Under Water On All Of The Top Issues"; ABC Poll Finds

An ABC News survey has concluded that Joe Biden is a “serious drag on Democratic candidates nationwide,” as his approval numbers on all major issues are “badly underwater”.

The poll found that on gas prices Biden’s approval is just 27% and on inflation, he has just 28% approval.

That’s telling given that 80% of respondents also said inflation is an ‘extremely or very important factor’ in how they will vote, with a further 74% saying gas prices is a top factor.

Overall on the economy, Biden managed 37% and given there is still a whole Summer to go until the midterms, that figure is expected to slump even further.
