The CEO of Abbott Labs which makes baby formula milk under different brands apologizes to the US public for the problems at its Sturgis, Michigan plant that led to the decision to shut down production at the plant.

US president Biden had supplies flown in from Germany to make up for the loss in supplies, brining in 15% of daily needs in the US. More flights are expected.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
