And I'm and American in Colombia where they pasteurize the milk to the point where it is stored at room temperature.

I've seen some shit claiming pasteurization is harmful and I just have to ask if the people who believe that know what pasteurization even is, because how the hell does boiling it make it harmful? Shit... If boiling milk makes it toxic, you better stay away from cheese. And a lot of baked goods. Creamy soups. Pasta dishes. Etc.
This is the whole “gluten is poison” (for people not actually intolerant to gluten) all over again. Those people also had no idea that it was just wheat protein.
Not even fully boiling. To quote Wikipedia, because I'm lazy:
The liquid moves in a controlled, continuous flow while subjected to temperatures of 71.5 °C (160 °F) to 74 °C (165 °F), for about 15 to 30 seconds, followed by rapid cooling to between 4 °C (39.2 °F) and 5.5 °C (42 °F).
Literally 30 seconds of "pretty hot". And people are risking serious illness, even death, over some mythical beliefs about how nutrition works.
There is a way. Just mix it with equal parts hard liquor.
I heard bleach works good too.

Food safety is communism!
For the other non scientists here is a good article explaining what "raw milk" is. https://www.uclahealth.org/news/article/dangers-raw-milk-arise-bacteria
TLDR: they boil milk to nuke bacteria, "raw milk" is what they call milk that hasn't had that happen and is dangerous, especially considering recent events.

Maybe ingest it and then use UV light or inject bleach. I hear Ivermectin helps against everything.
Ugh my wife's step-sisters husband is a pharmacist. His body is riddled with tumors but he swears the ivermectin and supplements are what's fighting the cancer. Not the chemo. Nope. That's promoting the cancer.
Damn.
I didn't have "Raw Milk encouraged by the US govt. causes second pandemic in 5 years" on my bingo card for 2025.
I'm not ready for Moovid...
