MAJOR DEVELOPMENTS THIS
AFTERNOON IN THE PUSH TO TRY TO
EASE THE NATIONWIDE BABY FORMULA
SHORTAGE TODAY, THE HEAD OF THE
FDA TOLD CONGRESS PARENTS SHOULD
START SEEING BETTER SUPPLY IN A
MATTER OF DAYS. CONSUMER
INVESTIGATOR HANK WINCHESTER IS
LIVE WITH MORE ON THIS, HANK.
THIS WAS ACTUALLY THE FIRST TIME
THAT HE’S ACTUALLY TESTIFIED
ABOUT THE SHORTAGE, RIGHT.
DE’VEON YOU’RE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT
. HE WAS FACING SOME TOUGH
QUESTIONS. THIS IS ALL ABOUT
BABY FORMULA, THE LACK OF IT ON
STORE SHELVES TONIGHT. WE’RE
GETTING SOME INFORMATION ABOUT
WHEN THINGS COULD START TO
CHANGE. THE HEAD OF THE FOOD AND
DRUG ADMINISTRATION ON THE HOT
SEAT TODAY FACING CONGRESSIONAL
SCRUTINY OVER THE BABY FORMULA
SHORTAGE AND THE WHISTLEBLOWER
COMPLAINT REGARDING ABBOTT’S
FACILITY RIGHT HERE IN MICHIGAN
, POTENTIALLY PUTTING BABIES AT
RISK AND FORCING PARENTS TO PLAY
A GAME OF RUSSIAN ROULETTE. FDA
CHIEF DEFENDING THE AGENCY’S
RESPONSE TO THIS ISSUE PANDEMIC
TO WAR IN UKRAINE AND LABOR
SUPPLY ISSUES. HAVE ALL HAD AN
IMPACT WITH POLITICAL PRESSURE
MOUNTING RIGHT NOW THE BIDEN
ADMINISTRATION TAKING DRASTIC
MEASURES TO INCREASE SUPPLIES
ACROSS THE COUNTRY FORMULA
NEEDED AND THAT INCLUDES USING
US MILITARY AIRCRAFT TO IMPORT
FORMULA FROM OVERSEAS AND
INVOKING THE DEFENSE PRODUCTION
ACT. EVEN SOME OF THE
PRESIDENT’S STRONGEST ALLIES SAY
FEDERAL ACTION SHOULD HAVE COME
MUCH SOONER. GIVE EVERYBODY AN F
ON THE ENTIRE SPECTRUM OF THIS
FROM THE COMPANY ITSELF TO THE
FDA OVERSIGHT, DEMOCRATS ARE
PUSHING A $28 MILLION PACKAGE TO
HELP THE FDA HIRE MORE EMPLOYEES
. ITS FATE IN THE SENATE IS
UNCLEAR. LET’S SEE. OBJECTION WE
DON’T WANT TO SPEND MONEY ON
BABIES WHO ARE CRYING FOR FOOD.
NOW HOPING CONGRESS GIVES THE
GREEN LIGHT FOR MORE MONEY TO
PREVENT FUTURE SHORTAGES OF BABY
FORMULA UNLESS WE STRIKE THEM
THE RESILIENCE OF OUR SUPPLY
CHAIN WE COULD BE ONE NATURAL
DISASTER QUALITY MISHAP OR CYBER
ATTACK FROM BEING HERE AGAIN. I
BELIEVE THAT MANY OF THE
PROBLEMS FACING YOUR AGENCY CAN
BE SOLVED THROUGH STRONG
LEADERSHIP. RATHER THAN MORE
MONEY CHIEF ALSO REASSURING THE
PUBLIC THAT THE COUNTRY’S
LARGEST FORMULA PRODUCER IS ON
TRACK TO REOPEN SOON HERE IN
MICHIGAN, BUT NOT SOON ENOUGH
FOR STRUGGLING FAMILIES. BACK
OUT HERE LIVE HERE IS THE GOOD
NEWS IN ALL OF THAT. WE ARE TOLD
THAT MORE FORMULAS SHOULD BE
MAKING ITS WAY ONTO STORE
SHELVES WITHIN THE COMING DAYS.
BUT THE REALITY IS, THINGS ARE
NOT GOING TO GET BACK TO NORMAL
FOR AT LEAST 6 TO 8 WEEKS AT A
MINIMUM. TONIGHT AT SIX O’CLOCK
, WE’RE GOING TO BE TAKING A
LOOK AT THE FORMULA RELATED
SCAMS. YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT
SOME PEOPLE LOSING HUNDREDS OF
DOLLARS. JUST TRYING TO GET THE
FORMULA THEY NEED FOR THEIR
CHILDREN WILL HAVE THAT
IMPORTANT. HOW MANY THANKS
KAMLER TONIGHT AT SIX. BECAUSE
WE’RE LIVE HERE. HANK
WINCHESTER, HELPING HANK LOCAL 4
OF THE FORMULA ISN’T ENOUGH. NOW
WE’VE GOT TO BE DEALING WITH
BEING SCAMMED OVER IT AS WELL.
IT’S JUST SO EXASPERATING.
ALRIGHT, HANG NOW WE NEED TO GET
SOME BREAKING NEWS JUST INTO OUR
NEWSROOM. DETROIT POLICE
ANNOUNCED. ONE PERSON IS NOW IN
CUSTODY IN CONNECTION WITH THE
DEADLY HIT AND RUN THAT KILLED A
MOTHER OF TWO. IT HAPPENED
MONDAY EVENING. WE’VE BEEN
FOLLOWING IT ALL WEEK. THIS WAS
THE SENIOR DRAGOON AND MCMILLAN.
POLICE DID RECOVER YESTERDAY, A
RED FORD F 1 50 THAT THEY
BELIEVE HIT AND KILLED. 32 YEAR
OLD IRISH LI SEE AGA WHEN SHE
WAS WALKING TO THE STORE. SO
AGAIN, A PERSON IN CUSTODY AT
THIS HOUR WE AWAIT WORD ON
CHARGES. TODAY. THE CDCS
ADVISORY PANEL VOTED IN FAVOR OF
RECOMMENDING A BOOSTER DOSE OF
THE FIGHTER VACCINE FOR CHILDREN
AGES. 5 TO 11 AT LEAST FIVE
MONTHS AFTER THAT SECOND DOSE
ARE DR FRANK MCGEORGE HAS BEEN
FOLLOWING THEIR MEETING TODAY.
CLOSELY. HE JOINS US LIVE FROM
HIGHLIGHTS WITH THAT DISCUSSION,
DOC. KAREN YOU KNOW, THE REAL
QUESTION FOR THE PANEL WAS DO
THE BENEFITS OF A BOOSTER DOSE
OUTWEIGH ANY POTENTIAL RISKS.
AND AFTER REVIEWING THE
AVAILABLE DATA, THE COMMITTEE OF
OUTSIDE EXPERTS DECIDED THE
ANSWER WAS YES. 11 YESES ONE NO
ONE ABSTENTION. AND SO THE
MOTION PASSES THE ADVISORY
COMMITTEE ON IMMUNIZATION
PRACTICES, VOICING SUPPORT FOR A
BOOSTER DOSE OF PFIZER’S VACCINE
FOR CHILDREN AGED 5 TO 11. THE
DATA FROM FIGHTERS CLINICAL
TRIAL SHOWED A ONE THIRD DOSE OF
THE VACCINE RAISED OMNICRON
FIGHTING ANTIBODIES BY 36 TIMES
IN THIS AGE GROUP, THE CDCS DR
SARAH OLIVER SAID NO NEW SAFETY
ISSUES WERE SEEN. THERE WERE NO
SERIOUS ADVERSE EVENTS REPORTED
AMONG TRIAL PARTICIPANTS. THERE
WERE NO DEATHS, NO CASES OF
ANAPHYLAXIS AND NO CASES OF
MYOCARDITIS. IT’S NOT CLEAR HOW
MANY PARENTS WILL WANT A BOOSTER
DOSE RIGHT NOW. 35% OF CHILDREN
IN THIS AGE GROUP HAVE RECEIVED
AT LEAST ONE DOSE OF THE VACCINE
AND JUST 28% ARE FULLY
VACCINATED. BUT THE VACCINES DO
SHOW CLEAR BENEFITS DURING THE
OMICRON PREDOMINANT PERIOD.
COVID-19 ASSOCIATED
HOSPITALIZATION RATES AMONG
UNVACCINATED CHILDREN FIVE
THROUGH 11, SHOWN IN THE DASHED
ORANGE LINE. WERE TWICE AS HIGH
AS RATES AMONG VACCINATED
CHILDREN SHOWN IN THE SOLID BLUE
LINE, THE CDC STRESSED. WHILE
COVID TRENDS TEND TO BE LESS
SEVERE IN CHILDREN, THE OMNICRON
WAVE HAS LED TO MORE KIDS BEING
HOSPITALIZED AND CAN LEAD TO
LONG TERM HEALTH ISSUES, EVEN
AFTER A MILD CASE. 87% OF
HOSPITALIZED CHILDREN WERE
UNVACCINATED. AMONG UNVACCINATED
HOSPITALIZED CHILDREN OVER HALF
WERE BLACK OR HISPANIC. ONE
THIRD OF HOSPITALIZED CHILDREN
HAD NO UNDERLYING MEDICAL
CONDITIONS. NOW THE CDC DIRECTOR
STILL HAS THE FINAL SAY, BUT SHE
IS EXPECTED TO GIVE THE GREEN
LIGHT AS EARLY AS TONIGHT. FRANK
WAS THERE ANY MENTION OF
PROGRESS ON THE VACCINES FOR
CHILDREN UNDER FIVE? WELL YOU
KNOW, THE FDA ACKNOWLEDGED THE
FRUSTRATION OF PARENTS, AND THEY
SAID THAT THEY ARE STILL IN THE
PROCESS OF REVIEWING THE DATA
THAT WAS SUBMITTED BY MODERNA.
SEVERAL OF THE PUBLIC COMMENTS
WERE FROM PARENTS OR CAREGIVERS
OF KIDS THAT ARE UNDER THE AGE
OF FIVE. WHO ACTUALLY CALLED ON
THE FDA AND THE CDC. TO JUST
MOVE FASTER. THE FDA ADVISORY
PANEL IS TENTATIVELY SET TO MEET
IN JUNE TO CONSIDER THOSE
VACCINES FOR KIDS UNDER AGE
FIVE, SO IF THAT TIMETABLE DOES
HOLD, THEY COULD BE AVAILABLE IN
EARLY SUMMER. PARENTS CONCERNED
ABOUT THAT FOR SURE. ALL RIGHT,
THANK YOU, DOC. WE APPRECIATE
IT. TODAY, A GROUP INCLUDING THE
MICHIGAN AND THE NATIONAL
COUNCIL OF BLACK LAWYERS, IS
CALLING FOR FEDERAL OVERSIGHT OF
THE DETROIT POLICE DEPARTMENT.
AND THEY SAY A SHARP INCREASE IN
EXCESSIVE FORCE COMPLAINTS IS
WHY MONITORS NOW NEED TO STEP
IN. LET’S BRING IN VICTOR
WILLIAMS FOLLOWING THIS STORY OF
VICTOR, WE HAVE TO POINT OUT
THIS DEPARTMENT IS NO STRANGER
TO FEDERAL OVERSIGHT. DE’VEON
KAREN, THAT IS TRUE, AND THESE
GROUPS ARE VERY PASSIONATE ABOUT
WHAT THEY’RE DOING. THEY’RE
SAYING THAT WAY TOO MANY AFRICAN
AMERICANS HAVE FALLEN VICTIM TO
POLICE OFFICERS, AND ALL OF THAT
IS LISTED RIGHT HERE IN THIS
MEMORANDUM THAT WAS SENT TO THE
DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE. I
INFORMED THE POLICE THERE A
HAMMER. THEY ARE MILITARIZED
FORCE. EVERYTHING IS GOING TO BE
A NAIL ON MALCOLM X’S BIRTHDAY.
THE COALITION OF POLICE,
TRANSPARENCY AND ACCOUNTABILITY.
MAKING THE ANNOUNCEMENT THAT
THEY WANT THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT
TO STEP IN AND INVESTIGATE THE
DETROIT POLICE DEPARTMENT FOR
MISCONDUCT AND EXCESSIVE FORCE,
TIRED OF BEING TARGETED AND
KILLED. DETROIT JUSTICE CENTER
INTERIM MANAGING ATTORNEY NANCY
PARKER SAYS THE NUMBER OF
AFRICAN AMERICANS KILLED AT THE
HANDS OF LAW ENFORCEMENT IN THE
CITY. IS FAR TOO MANY NUMBER OF
KILLINGS CONTINUES TO INCREASE
THE NUMBER OF VIOLENT INCIDENTS
. EACH SHOOTING WAS DETAILED IN
THE MEMORANDUM SENT TO THE
JUSTICE DEPARTMENT ATTORNEY MARK
VENTURE SAYS IT’S NOT A QUESTION
OF 50 SHOOTINGS WERE JUSTIFIED.
BUT HOW IT DEATH COULD HAVE BEEN
PREVENTED FROM HAPPENING IN THE
FIRST PLACE. WANT ENFORCEMENT
THAT UNDERSTANDS THE VALUE OF
LIFE WAS FOUNDED AFTER THE DEATH
OF HAKEEM LITTLETON, A 20 YEAR
OLD KILLED BY DPD AFTER
ALLEGEDLY SHOOTING AT POLICE.
NANCY IS NOW INSISTING THAT
FEDERAL DOLLARS EARMARKED FOR
THE DEPARTMENT ARE NOW USED FOR
OTHER MEANS. PEOPLE OF DETROIT
HAVE SPOKEN. AND YES, MAYBE NOT
. EVERYONE IS YELLING DEFUND THE
POLICE! BUT WHAT THEY ARE SAYING
IS KEEP ME SAFE AND INVEST IN MY
COMMUNITY. DETROIT POLICE
DEPARTMENT IS RESPONDING WITH
THIS STATEMENT, WHICH IN PART,
READS QUOTE CHIEF WHITE
ADMINISTRATION IS COMMITTED TO
TRANSPARENCY AND ACCOUNTABILITY
. THE COMMUNITY DESIRES SAFETY,
CONSTITUTIONAL POLICING. AND A
COMMUNITY FIRST APPROACH TO LAW
ENFORCEMENT. THIS IS WHY THE
DETROIT POLICE DEPARTMENT IS
FIRMLY COMMITTED TO MAKING ITS
MISSION TO ENCOURAGE THOUGHTFUL
DECISION MAKING AND A STRONG
SENSE OF COMMUNITY
RESPONSIBILITY. WE’RE ALSO GOING
TO ADD THAT THIS DEPARTMENT HAS
CRISIS INTERVENTION TEAMS AS
WELL. VICTOR WILLIAMS LOCAL 4

MORE TO COME ON THIS THURSDAY.

WAY OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS.
WE’RE TALKING ABOUT HEAT. WE’RE
TALKING ABOUT A LITTLE WIND.
WE’RE TALKING ABOUT
THUNDERSTORMS AS WE HEAD INTO
THE WEEKEND. A LOT TO BREAK DOWN

AHEAD. SEVERAL STUDENTS
PROTESTING OUTSIDE OF LAKEVIEW
HIGH SCHOOL TODAY OVER AN
ALLEGED SEXUAL ASSAULT WHERE
