The Morons Of The Frothy Right (Cough! NY Post Edition; Certain Blog-Nuts, Too!) Think Abbott’s Unclean Plant In Michigan (And FDA Doing Its Job, There) Is… Most-Directly Mr. Biden’s Fault?!

So. . . I guess the far-right "thinking" here is that it would be better to have MORE cases of potentially lethal infant powder on shelves, than to endure a temporoary short supply, in order to assure the continued saftey of it, to infants, nationwide. Three babies died in early 2022; FDA conducted over a dozen days of inspections in Sturgis, Michigan at Abbott's plant. Numerous 483s resulted -- several due to cleanliness GMP violations. So the FDA ordered a halt while Abbott cleaned up its act.

But no -- that rag, the NY Post (and that much dimmer bulb, Scott Johnson as well), offer the conclusion today that Mr. Biden ought to "own" / be "blamed". . . for the current short supplies of infant formula. It is how they "get there" (with the aid of the rag NY Post -- did I say it's a rag? It is.). . . that is sad, in the utter lack of even the most-basic analytical. . . and logical reasoning skills. [Yeah, I guess I'm a little worked up about it all, this morning.]

It would be charmingly tragi-comical, if not for the fact that Abbott (a multi-national life sciences/pharma '34 Act reporting behemoth, a public company since 1929) itself admits that the plant was unclean, due to its own operational deficiencies.

But somehow, the unassailable fact that a for-profit company, making billions of dollars, annually in GAAP net income and cash-flow. . . and did not keep its plant in safe and solid working order, thus violating GMPs it had long ago agreed to, in order to get FDA approval to run the plant. . . (then under Mr. Bush, BTW) and yes, keep babies' formula safely on the market. . . is the fault of the current POTUS. Wow. Just. . . wow.

That's a very special kind of stupid, in the NY Post -- and. . . in Scott Johnson (but I won't give him the traffic from a direct link -- no way).

Cheers.
