Is this why Mister Brain Worms wants to sell raw milk? So bird flu spreads since worms hate birds
Louis Pasteur is rolling in his grave...
He is boiling in his grave. Probably milk.
Only for a few seconds. And he's not even boiling. After that he's fine.
~~rolling~~ curdling
Surely this is satire. One of you guys made this as a joke, right? Right?!?
Crazy how if it was any democrat saying drink raw milk s/he would likely be accused of a conspiracy in which he is trying to spread bird flu so they can have another pandemic and vaccine manufacturers make money out of it. But when a republican says it, s/he is probably celebrated for using the wisdom of our grand grand parents.
I mean, viruses are kind of Trumps thing. Maybe H5N1 kills another million or so to mark his second term.
H5N1 is way, way more lethal than Covid19.
If it were to mutate to spread between humans without decreasing in lethality it would probably be the deadliest event in human history by a significant margin.
It has been contracted by humans, but because we pasteurize and ultra pasteurize, the problem has been mostly moot. I’m still using ultra pasteurized dairy. It’s typically those who work very closely with the animals and such. Many a farmer will dip into that raw milk for their own table too.
CDC data has 29 human cases 15 of which were serious to critical, with 7 deaths. That is NOT a large enough pool to establish a meaningful percentage, but it’s worth keeping an eye on with some level of concern. Especially with the number of medically minded dipshits we have in this country.
On the bright side, if H5N1 kills off all its hosts, it'll effectively eradicate itself

I'm told that if you mix in some bleach, it'll "do a tremendous number" on the pathogens.
Am i seeing this right, that you can buy raw milk in grocery stores? What the fuck?
Raw milk gets bad way to fast in order to sell it in a grocery store.
When kept below about 3C raw milk can last 7-10 days. The problem mainly is in the handling - the longer it's shipped and more it's handled the higher the likelihood it ends up above safe temperatures, reducing that time significantly. And we've all seen how grocery stores handle their perishables... LOL.
Filthy farming practices don't help.

No they don't. And that applies universally.

Imagine deliberately paying a premium for food that can make you seriously ill.
Imagine deliberately paying a premium for food that can make you seriously ill.
This applies to maybe 80% of what's in a grocery store.
