Do FFers know this risk?

Do most FFing parents know powdered infant formulas are not commercially sterile products? How much of a risk is a E. sakazakii infection? Is it only a risk to premature and low-weight babies? According to the WHO article below, "infants under 2 months of age are at greatest risk."
According to the FDA, "a

That doesn't work for anyone else and I have yet to see a "hateful" or "inflammatory" post from a formula feeder>>>>>>>>>>>>
On this board or I village in general?

ETA: to my knowledge the children they shot were not bullies and there were some additional mental health issues probably involved, but even so the whole tragedy did raise awareness in schools in important ways.

>>I could say that if anything good came out of the Columbine massacre, it's that people have started taking bullying issues more seriously.<<
Oddly enough, some of the newer articles say that the shooters were not bullied.

I would like to read Wally Lamb's book.
The books I'd like to read about kids and bullying are: Bullies, the Bullied, and the Bystanders by Barbara Coloroso and Queen Bees and Wannabees by ?
**The sad part was that this was awhile ago, back in the days when people thought that bullying was a part of life for most kids and that adults couldn't do anything about it, the kids had to work it out themselves, etc.**
Not in my case. The bully I had to deal with had to change to the high school and my older sibling gave the bully a taste of their own medicine. I rather enjoyed it lol.
**I was 20 when that happened and I remember thinking that I totally understood where those two kids were coming from**
I don't care who bullies who. I don't think anyone in their right mind could be pushed to that extent from being called names. The same goes for violent songs and video games. Not to mention that, but what was reported back when the Columbine ordeal happened wasn't what really happened. They never made a girl pray and then shoot her in the head. The media was just playing it up. But that's not to say it wasn't a horrible situation. People did die and that should never have happened, but to say it was because of the bullies is just an excuse. At least one of them was on anti-depressants which was more likely the cause of the homicidal tendencies. The bullies just became a target because they were bullies. But that is getting off topic.
eta: Here's a link because the story a PP posted said they weren't on anti-depressants and they were. Luvox was found in Harris' system when he died.

**In summary, derogatory comments and misperceptions about breastfeeders are rampant. I could provide links for you, but it'd be an exercise in futility, not to mention potentially a TOS violation.**
Not to mention there probably aren't any examples.
>>If that was the case then almost every post from a breastfeeder would be considered "hateful" or "inflammatory" because it is against formula feeding.<<
Now see this is one of the cases I described above where I would ask for evidence that ANYONE is "against formula feeding".
>>Not to mention there probably aren't any examples.<<
Ah, the ole seeing what you wanna see defense. >>shrug<<
