Brzezinski then asked why the government lacks \u201cintensity.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m not feeling an intensity,\u201d Brzezinski said. \u201cDo you want to know where there is not a baby formula crisis? In Poland, on the border, where they took in almost 4 million people in three months, and there\u2019s enough formula there. There\u2019s food. They\u2019ve set up housing. They\u2019ve been able to do all of this, by the way, with the help, with the fundamental help of the U.S. military. So my question is: why isn\u2019t there the same mobilization here in America for this crisis?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI mean, mothers are being told to go to website or to drive hours or to try formula that might make their babies sick. Are we really here? What is solving the problem, not in a matter of weeks, but when are we going to see formula in the mouths of babies in America without any stress in terms of getting it?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Murthy said Brzezinski\u2019s concerns are legitimate but said the Biden administration is working to minimize any effects. <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2022\/05\/18\/alejandro-mayorkas-responds-kat-cammack-baby-formula-pallet-claim\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">(RELATED: Mayorkas Responds To Claims That Migrants Are Getting \u2018Pallets\u2019 Of Baby Formula)<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe want to pull every lever we can to get formula here,\u201d Murthy said. \u201cWe\u2019ve already seen an increase in production above the levels that we saw before the plant closed down in Michigan. There is a production increase. We are seeing an impact.
