A whistleblowers come forward with information about the negligence at Abbott that helped create the baby formula shortage. You know, Abbott is getting all this attention, but you know, Nestle is really the biggest manufacturer.

Yeah.

And Nestle, you know, we know you and I have done a dozen stories on Nestle. They are complete psychopaths.

The, the worst corporation on the planet.

There's no, actually at one they may have been voted the worst. They certainly come up in the first, in the first five, every year when we look at their conduct. But pick it up from there, you know, pick up that first part of the story.

Yeah. So what we know now is that obviously there were major problems at Abbott's processing facility, their packing facility, where they packaged all the baby formulas, shipped it out to the United States. And this was a plant in Sturgis, Michigan. They had a massive bacterial outbreak that actually killed two babies that were drinking their formula. And a whistleblower came out months ago.

Yeah.

Before there was this shortage and warned regulatory agencies, they're, they're covering up their data. They're lying to you. They're falsifying records. They're doing all of these horrible things. They fired me for calling them out on it. So you got retaliation there too. Do something because they're killing babies.

Yeah. I mean the list, the list comes right outta the book. Here's what they found 'em doing. As you said, completely falsifying records, making stuff up and saying we did these tests when they didn't do it. Releasing untested infant formula. There's steps they have to go to before the end product is released. They didn't do that. FDA 19, of the 2019 audit FDA got hustled. Of course the FDA always gets hustled. It's not anything to pull, to pull the wool over the FDA's eyes. The, the list is at this point has been out there since February of the things they haven't done. Now again, this, the problem with this though, is that it ties into the, the whole thing we started this conversation about. It's just easy to talk about. Abbott's not gonna take the hit here. You have the Democrats trying to put it on Abbott. Really the problem I'm wondering about, and this hasn't been discussed, this all seemed to start when a couple of things happen.

When the major lawsuit that we brought and some other lawyers brought in this country against the, against the formula industry for what they call NEC. It's a, it's where a preemie baby drinks the baby formula. Shouldn't be given the baby formula because it's a cows milk based and the enzymes cause their intestines basically to disintegrate and the baby buys, dies a horrible death. And, and you're, you're wondering, and this, this is a serious question. It's not, this is not conspiracy stuff because we've seen industry do this before. Is the industry now saying, hey, you can't live without us. How dare you bring this lawsuit? It's a big lawsuit. It's one of the biggest in the country right now. And it's been brought in what they call an MDL. And we've seen it happen with other products before. We've seen it happen with pharmaceuticals where they say, you're gonna attack us. Great. We're gonna make the pharmaceutical disappear. What is your take on that? Is that, is that overreaching? Because that's not just my theory. That theory is, you know, writers have talked about this.

I, I, I think it's very plausible because right now the, these manufacturers of these baby formulas have.
