Stuart Varney on baby formula shortage: Biden’s ‘gross incompetence’ has world laughing at us

FOX Business’ Stuart Varney rips the Biden administration’s slow reaction to the baby formula crisis.

STUART VARNEY: The baby formula shortage is a story of gross government incompetence. It goes all the way up to the top.

On October 21, 2021, a whistleblower drew attention to problems at a baby formula plant.

It was two months before the Food and Drug Administration interviewed the whistleblower. It took them another month to inspect the plant, and another two weeks to shut it down and recall the product.

That’s more than three months between the alarm bell and action.

You would have thought that at that point, with the alarm bells ringing and shortages developing, the government would have a plan to fill the emptying shelves. They didn’t. High tariffs and regulations stopped imports from Europe.

You would have thought that HHS Secretary, Xavier Bacerra, who is in charge of the FDA, would have jumped on this, changing the regulations and urging lower tariffs. For months, he did nothing. You never see this guy, and you have to wonder why a man with zero experience in healthcare runs the country’s biggest health bureaucracy.

And when did President Biden know about the growing shortage? Surely his aides told him. Is he ill-informed? Or dragging his feet again?

Finally, last week, a shipment of formula from Europe arrived. And the White House, spinning like crazy, took a victory lap.

The spin won’t work. The shelves are still emptying. Gross incompetence. The world is laughing at us.

  1. It's so funny to me, the MSM like Fox news has been losing money for years, all MSM has, your highly produced propaganda has less than 20k views lol. It's a joke and the joke is on you

  2. You've become a disgrace, where is the great Lou Dobbs, you should be fired immediately

  3. You can drive a Mac truck through his hole in logic.
    Trump is responsible for toilet paper shortage. Right?

  4. America is already like Cuba and Venezuela. Just keep voting the way you are and you'll see another Castro right here in america

  5. It's redicoulus shameful,

  6. The government did have a Plan —— BIDEN GATHERED ALL OF THE FORULA -3 WAARE HOUSES FULL Zander gave it to the ILLEGALS THAT ARE A HUDGE FACTER IN BANKRUPTING AMERICA !!!!!!!!

  7. Why the shelves are not refilled yet?

  8. He doesn't care. This President has turned America into a 3rd world country. You don't see Harris picking up the slack either. They are not a government for the people. They have been in politics so long they don't have any idea what we the people have to live with every day.

  9. Two and a half years to go with these morons !!! God help us !!!!

  10. The FDA was too busy pocketing Covid vaxx kickbacks.

  11. Saw pictures of lots of formula down at the border facilities for the illegals…WTF!!!!!
    Go get it now…

  12. the liberal-freaks want this, that's why it's so slow

  13. From my information the Illegals have stashed baby formula and needs for at least a few months now while we have an old sick fool in office letting this happen and Nothing again for us, get biden and them the hell out of Wash already this adm and the left have done All this MESS not anybody else but THEM and there are Never any Reprocussions for All their Illegal Wrong doings, WHY, they are no better than the s… on the street!!😂

  14. I did some fact checking on Varney's remark that Bacerra had "zero experience in healthcare." What I found was really shocking. He got his BA in economics, went to law school, and became a lawyer and a politician. That was it.

  15. This is definitely a deliberate action. Biden works for the NWO. He's Barack's fall guy. Mayorkis will be thrown under the bus and charged with treason. This is what Satan does. The anti Christ is Barack Obama. If you value your soul repent. The Lord God is about to take down the host body system.

  16. How fast did parents get tagged as domestic terrorists? 4 days? And the shutdown took 3 months? So if things go as expected, 1 more year to get things under control? Hurry, get babies and toddlers tagged as domestic terrorists; the situation will get fixed so fast your head will spin.

  17. Voting democrat has consequences.

  18. We are laughing, but already were.

  19. the government I believe plans on starving the world
    to take over the world.But they in return will starve themselves ,I planned it all out ,After the bombing

  20. it's more healthy for a baby to drink breast milk women need to feed their babies breast milk.

  21. The reason it took 2 months for the FDA to interview the whistle-blower is because this particular company is a MULTI-BILLION Dollar Company and that kind of financial power can be Intimidating!! AND, production didn't stop because of a whistle blower, it stopped because TWO BABIES DIED and 2 were hospitalized!! But that is Not what caused the delay in formula. It was slow distribution. There was plenty of formula even without that company. BUT….. The REPUBLICANS, including Joe Manchin, VOTED "Against" speeding up the distribution. I think… it has something to do with Giant Corporations and their Monopolies. The GOP only cares about the Fetus! They don't actually care about the Children! They are way more committed to the $$$ they get from the Big Giant Swampy Corporations than…. they are to this Country and the people in it!!

  22. Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer, they don't like our Law Statutes, Law of The Court, that says you will not bother, Judges, District Attorneys, Lawyers, at their residents, and if you do, you will be charged with tampering, The Law of The Court.

  23. President Joe Biden, Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer, mob rule tactics, open borders through Mexico, Supreme Court Justices haters, Abortion Activist, honorary members of The William Quantrill raider brats, then there's these people, that things aren't moving fast enough, to keep prepping going on, so they're torching food supply chain plants, Antifa, Black Lives Matters, Cumulus, HiTech, Main Stream Media, DNC, all involved in cover up, on their setting buildings on fire 🔥, and putting people out of business.

  24. The Marxist revolution calls women, bleeders….

    So White bleeders can't find baby formula but illegal aliens are given free baby formula.

    Next step, President to buy baby formula from China, laced with fetanayl.

    Then, we got a game, Mr. President.

    Then, we got a game.
