Baby formula delivery arrives in the U.S. from Germany
PBS NewsHourAPR 2022
The arrival of infant formula provides huge relief and shows that the Biden administration is taking the baby formula shortage seriously. Enacting the "Operation Fly Formula," approving funding, and reopening Abbott's Michigan plant will all work together to help families get through the worst of this shortage.
Biden is skilled at ignoring crises, and the formula shortage is no exception. Rather than taking early action, the White House was quick to blame the problem on retailers, stockers, and alleged baby formula hoarders. Importing 70k lbs of formula is merely a distraction from the fact that this catastrophe isn't going away anytime soon.
