Kayla and Cody Zurenko, who live in Calvert County, MD, have four kids — 7-year-old Gavin, 5-year-old Grayson and twins Gabriella and Gannon, born in August.
She breastfed the twins until January, when she got COVID. That’s when the family switched to formula, which includes milk and nutrients important to the kids’ health. Now, she and her husband, who works at Tesla, are desperate to keep them healthy.
“Formula is fundamental for all of us moms who don’t have a choice in the matter,” she told Fox News. “And we’re going to have babies that are malnourished. I just kind of hit a breaking point (Monday) and got really upset.” Her stepmom in Florida, family members in Alabama and Washington state, all are scouring grocery shelves to mail her food for her children. She maps out stores for her husband to and from work, so he can check for supplies. “At least if you have no gas (for your car), you just sit at home. If you don’t have baby formula — babies are going to die or be malnourished.”
The Zurenkos are not alone. Ever since Abbott Laboratories recalled its Similac product in February, after reports that a bacterial infection caused two infant deaths, parents of newborns coast to coast are in a panic. They are making emergency grocery store runs in several states, finding empty shelves or limits on purchases.
The FDA says it is working with Abbott “on safe resumption of production” at its Sturgis, Michigan plant, and to other manufacturers about their capacity. In the meantime, they urge desperate parents not to try to make their own formula, or dilute the dwindling supplies they have. “The potential problems with homemade formulas include contamination and absence of or inadequate amounts of critical nutrients. These problems are very serious, and the consequences range from severe nutritional imbalances to foodborne illnesses, both of which can be life-threatening.”
So parents ransack empty shelves, and babies cry.
Aside from the FDA, I could find no indication that anyone in the Biden administration was even working on this. In fact, incoming White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre was asked onboard Air Force One today about the baby formula shortage that is traumatizing American parents.
After saying the administration is focused on the crisis "24/7," Jean-Pierre was asked which White House staffer is in charge of handling the situation. She laughed.
Lawmakers are not laughing, and neither is Kayla Zurenko.
“The formula shortage is a national crisis, hitting poor moms and kids the hardest,” Sen Tom Cotton (R-Ark.), tweeted. Urging the FDA to schedule a relaunch of production, he said, “the Biden Administration needs to take this seriously.”
“Nearly a year after the White House announced their ‘Supply Chain Taskforce,’” Rep. Jim Banks (R-Ind.) added, “parents can’t even find food for their children.”
As for Zurenko, she is frantic. “I just sincerely hope this crisis can be handled with more urgency very soon,” she said. “This has got to be addressed.”
Hello Biden administration, anyone home?
Can you imagine if Trump were president? Do you think he’d just shrug his shoulders and say “oh well?” By now, he would have set up a task force, converted factories, ordered shipments, and organized the military to transport all of the formulas to stores throughout the country.
Is it cynical to think that COVID and the murderous "vaccines" were created to reduce the population and the poisoning of baby food might be just another step in the NWO depopulation scheme?
