Indeed. We learned a lot of things about our agencies over the last couple years. Let’s hope they get out of their own way for this situation.
He does that all the time. Did it in the LGBTQRSVP thread a while back. Makes wild claims, provides links without reading them, half the time they say the opposite. Better to just put him on ignore.
Any idea why biden doesn't use the same expertise he used to move the covid vaccine to formula?
I answered his question. Of course it’s completely absurd. If somebody asked to leave and return to his place of origin (thousands of miles away) the authorities wouldn’t believe him. They will still ONLY let you out based on the rules I posted. It’s very clear. If you don’t want to accept it based on some fantasy that you and @John123 have about illegals being able to deport themselves that’s on you. But just know that if you take away formula from these people’s children they will starve.
Expertise. I heard he really knew how to distribute it and stop covid.
Biden moved the covid vaccine to formula?
They both have specialized manufacturing and distribution. That's the relationship you're failing to grasp.
I mentioned yesterday that I found this story literally unbelievable when I first encountered it. Not unbelievable in a "wow, that's really wild" sense, but unbelievable in a "this sounds suspiciously like fake news" sense. But I was in the later stages of a 30-hour power outage caused by ~100 mph straight-line winds and I couldn't be arsed to type all that out on my phone. Now I've got my desktop machine back and I can blather away.
It's been a while since my kids were that age. I can understand why an individual family might not be ready to jump into the make your own stage yet. Depending how bad this crisis actually is, though, I'd likely be jumping into the "just in case, let's see what all is involved in making your own, and maybe make plans to do so in the future" stage, though.
Yep. This is exactly the sort of non-ideological "just make things work properly" issue that I grew weary of during the Trump years. I didn't expect that Biden would screw this stuff up too.
Totally agree with this, and I've noticed it more and more across American society in the last decade. Not sure if it's just lawyerly cya or what, but the general infantilization of the average American is really frustrating : don't try to fix anything yourself, because unless you're an expert you'll just make everything worse.
The thing is, it seems like there's very little focus on the day-to-day stuff that is required for society to run, and instead it's all culture war or flashy global issues, and this goes for both sides. I'm reminded of a substack I was reading the other day where someone was complaining that their small town has a comprehensive climate change plan, and yet was at risk of losing some federal funding because it had taken them 7 years to actually install bike racks.
Without looking anything up, my guess is that the FDA is charged with shutting down plants under certain conditions but has no authority to arrange for alternative ways of satisfying demand. Meanwhile, the obvious solutions to the supply problems are to (a) allow imports, especially from Europe, and (b) have more competing plants in the U.S. I don't know why we're not doing those things, but to the extent that the government is the problem (which, without looking anything up, I'd guess that it probably is), it may require a legislative solution rather than any unilateral action by the FDA.
Yeah, something along the lines of cow's milk supplemented with fish oil ought to work. Maybe it has to be a little more complicated than that, but probably not much. (I should note, however, that I have no idea what I'm talking about.)
Googling suggests that it is more complicated than that.
My mother made formula for both my brother and I. That was back in the 50s though. We both turned out alright. Some may argue differently about me though, but my brother definitely is ok.
How about baby seats that were basically cardboard boxes in the front seat? Or codeine cough syrup? Or piling 7 person family in a vw rabbit with two kids in the trunk.
Detention centers should be making their own formula. It may be a pain to do for an individual household with a single infant, but when a detention center has many infants to feed, making large batches of formula with commonly available ingredients seems like the obvious solution. I'm sure there are legal obstacles...
Whataboutism......lol. see its always appropriate.That is my take and I have to laugh about you accusing others of "partisan hack posting" without any apparent sense of irony.
It's extremely expensive and the screening process increases cost. It's called human breast milk banks. they are not everywhere.
Any recipes for lactose intolerance?
That may be persuasive when choosing between DIY formula and commercial formula, but it's not remotely persuasive when choosing between DIY formula and starvation.
Right. Let’s hope it doesn’t come to the bolded. In the meantime? Do not make your own, in most all professionals opinions. I think it’s important to listen to the doctors and professionals here. I believe the article even mentions in a roundabout way the recipe you posted.
Yes. The FDA is the regulator and gatekeeper, they have no authority or experience for arranging alternative supply. Another executive branch department, like the US Dept of HHS would probably be a better fit to address supply.
