Guest Post by Martin Armstrong
We have entered the baby formula rationing stage of Biden’s presidency. Datasembly reported that formula shortages reached 8% during the first half of 2021. From November 2021 to the beginning of April 2022, baby formula shortages reached 31% which was cause for concern to everyone but the FDA and the White House. As April continued, the out-of-stock rate spiked to 40%! During the last week of April, at least seven states reported a 50% or greater shortage in supply.
Target and Costco are rationing online baby formula purchases. CVS and Walgreens announced weeks ago that they would do the same. The FDA recalled three brands of formula in February after finding traces of bacteria, but that is only one factor for the shortages. Formula inventories were already down 17% on an annual basis in January prior to the recall. The ongoing supply chain issue is to blame as products simply cannot be delivered fast enough to meet demand.
The White House downplayed the issue and blamed the shortage on the recalls. “The FDA issued a recall to make sure that they’re meeting their obligation to protect the health of Americans — including babies who, of course, were receiving or taking this formula — and ensure safe products are available. That’s their job,” Psaki said in a lighthearted manner. They will be hard-pressed to fix an issue if they do not understand how it evolved. Despite manufacturers working around the clock, the shortage cannot meet the demand at this time.
I cannot advise on what to do; I can only comment on the reason for the shortage. However, I would encourage mothers to speak with their pediatricians. Watering down formula is extremely dangerous, and not all will respond well to a switch in brands. I could also suggest avoiding hoarding, but we all act in our own self-interest, as Adam Smith said, and I would not blame a desperate mother for taking extreme measures. The Biden Administration should have addressed this issue at the beginning of the year, but per usual, they waited until it became a full-blown crisis.

Clot shot dies up mother’s milk and baby formula disappears from retail shelves . The hits keep coming.
50% of the production capacity has been shut down by the Biden regime. Manufacturers claim Biden minions are throwing one roadblock after another in the way of plants reopening.
So when the plannedemic was first started, and until the divine jabs were unleashed to deliver all their blessed wonders, the useless shits in the western medical cartel (with the obvious exception of folks like Dr. Marcela, Bill Sardi, and others that were openly censored) told everyone that distancing, lockdowns, and masks were our only hope. Not a word was spoken when they bashed vitamin D, told everyone to stay indoors, shuttered the gyms, promoted fast food, etc. Plenty of very sound, clinically supported suggestions for boosting the immune system could have made the difference for millions….but no.
Now we have mothers desperate to feed their infants, and not one damn thing is being put together or recommended as an alternative. I can easily find dozens of homemade formula recipes online, but what do we hear? Nothing but the dangers of making your own. If people haven’t yet figured out that the government protected western medical cartel doesn’t give one shit about anyone’s health yet, what will it take?
The oligarch scum like Gates and hedge funds got involved in this and as a previous article pointed out may have even been making this poison and many others in covert 2nd and 3rd world locations for massive profit and F the people. The RFK jr. book chronicles case after case of the evil fuqueres going so far as to do multiple tests (executions on a mass scale) in permissive locales in which all the patients were given lethal doses of HCQ, as much as 100 times the proper dose until they died, and then claimed conclusively that HCQ is dangerous while ignoring the dozens of countries successfully using it and Ivermectin in proper dosages. They literally murdered thousands knowingly poisoning them with massive overdoses. In some cases countries were successfully fighting and winning against the plague when a new scumbag would take office and be “convinced” to outlaw or forbid HCQ with the result of deaths increasing more than 1,000% within days.

at todays briefing that fucking bitch accused people who are buying more formula based on fear of short supplies of “hoarding”.
Don’t worry, plenty of baby formula is being shipped to Ukraine.
And to the southern border of the U.S. but only provided to illegal aliens.
Formula only going to ukraine to keep the babies fresh and ready for Hillary and her ilk to enjoy.
Why would “watering down” baby formula be dangerous?
Because the baby isn’t getting the nutrients he\she needs. If you need a certain amount of calories and nutrients per feeding the baby suffers from that withholding.
watering down (raw) cow or goat milk is literally the way formula was made forever pre-factory food era. maybe add some olive oil and nutritional yeast to max out the micros.
the whole scare parents away from taking their children’s health into their own hands thing is just a ploy to sell products/services.
pediatricians are not friends to children. just cogs in the pharma-industrial complex. ‘responding poorly’ to dietary changes is often just the body switching from survival mode to healing mode…i.e. detox.
I’m partially to blame.
Months ago I bought baby milk for the lactoferrin s.
There was no tablet form on the self anywhere. I asked.
No hydroxy , no Ivermectin
So we go to quercetin and people start hoarding capers.
On and on it goes.
One more sign.
Problem solved …
Men can lactate now! Why do you think we have nipples??!! Why aren’t they helping out?
Funny how you can just mash up whatever is on your plate and feed it to the baby. My grandbaby has never had formula or baby food in her life. Possibly the reason for her good health and cognitive abilities.
When I think of the thousands of years of human history when “baby food” wasn’t even a thing and to watch the current crop run around like headless chickens because something isn’t in a store it only makes me think of Wendell Berry again.
We who prayed and wept
for liberty from kings
and the yoke of liberty
accept the tyranny of things
we do not need.
In plenitude too free
we have become adept
beneath the yoke of greed.
There’s that word again…
G.R.E.E.D
For the first 4 months or so, mother’s milk or formula is all a baby should have. Indeed, commercial baby food isn’t needed, but HEALTHY formula is more complicated than the impressions being presented here.
Use a small baby bottle (I think they are around 1 cup). Fill up to the neck with whole milk. Add 1/4 inch of dark Karo syrup, shake well and warm up. I’ve raised 4 kids on that formula and they are all perfectly fine. On the first child Dr said not to do this because he wouldn’t get enough iron but my son was crying every time he used Similac due to the iron. Called my mom and she gave me the formula. Used it for 6 months without the Dr knowing. Next checkup son’s blood work was perfect and the Dr smuggly said “See, I told you so”. We then informed him we had been using our homemade formula ever since the last time we were there. The look on his face was absolutely priceless! 🤣
This was my Mom’s recipe for baby formula.
Wash and boil the following :
1 large glass measuring cup or heavy glass bowl with spout, a spoon, a funnel, six 6 oz glass baby bottles , nipples, rings and discs. Set on wire rack upside down to dry using tongs.
Into the large measuring cup add the ingredients and mix well
13 oz Pet Evaporated Milk
20 oz boiled water
2 level tablespoons Karo
Mix well with spoon
Pour 4 oz into each 6 ounce baby bottle
Place nipple upside down into bottle, then flat cap, secure with ring
Place in water bath and process.
Set pot in sink to cool to touch
Store in refrigerator
Recipe can be doubled as baby grows.
No offense, but these are grossly inadequate recipes nutritionally. Overprocessed cow’s milk, corn syrup and water? Hardly a substitute for mother’s milk, with all of its vitamins, probiotic bacteria, diverse fats, higher protein, etc. Indeed, it will do in a pinch, but not a sound substitute for a truly healthy child. If it were based on organic raw cows milk, goat milk, or sheep’s milk it would at least be far better from so many angles.
We used breast milk in conjunction. I agree that it may not be “the best” but it sure as hell works. My mother and her siblings were raised on it as we’re my siblings and I along with my 4 children. Zero adverse effects and all healthy and well as adults. Any port in a storm.

illegal alien crotch goblins are flush with formula. the traffickers aren’t the parents, therefore all formula must be diverted to the southern border to feed the little sex slaves/future drug dealers/welfare sponges/anchors.
wonder what the stock of baby formula looks like at Pete Buttigiegs’s house, or Anderson Cooper, or Andy Cohen…
THEY ARE SHIPPING PALLETS TO THE SOUTHERN BORDER.
Unless that is an internet lie???
I would have assumed it even if no one was reporting it.
Destruction of the agribusiness model and all it’s fugly children like formula should be a reason to rejoice, not dress in sackcloth and heap ashes on our heads.
Voted best sentence to take out of context as a non sequitur — TBP 2022
Two babies died. Tragedy that always is. They both drank formula. With no evidence at all the FDA swoops in and wipes out the baby formula supply, you know, just in case. Gotta love the stupidity of the govt drones in action.
We are doomed.
It was all planned. I wouldn’t be surprised to learn that NO babies died but it made a great excuse to create a mass starvation moment for infants….since the jab isn’t yet available to murder them.
All the Suburban moms who voted for Brandon because Mean Tweets, they did it to themselves, so my level of giving a fuck is non existent.
