    Let’s see here, RFK wants to ban vaccines and promote raw milk.
    There is currently a bird flu epidemic in dairy cattle from bird droppings getting into the feed.
    Consuming raw milk is one of the few ways humans can become infected with bird flu.
    I’m sure this will be fine and the virus won’t mutate to allow for human to human transfer, it if it does luckily it only has a 56% mortality rate compared to the Covid morality rate of ~4% during its peak.

      In the US, right now, the dairy farms where they let the cats drink raw milk saw half their cats die.

      This is an actual thing.

      Edit based on comments below: The context of this thread is concerning hi path AI. I should have been more clear. I am referring to dairy farms where the cows have hi path AI and the cats drink raw milk.

      However it is impossible to tell if your raw milk is infected with hi path AI, so to the readers of this who are really in to drinking raw milk, I wish you luck.

        True, but on the minus side, dumb people actively seeking out the infected milk would artificially increase the instances and thus the spread.

          But on the plus side, dumb people actively infect themselves and get removed from the gene pool.

            But on the minus side, other people don’t have the choice to completely avoid those dumb people and thus minimize their risk of infection.

            If they did, covid wouldn’t have been a tenth as bad as it was/is.

            That’s because you’re overlooking the fact that stupid people mingle with other people whether they want to or not.

            If you don’t have at least a handful of truly idiotic coworkers and neighbors, you’re probably a self-employed hermit…

        Unless he also outlaws pasteurized milk, I’ll have 0 sympathy for any adults that die drinking raw milk. This country seems to be in dire need of a toxic cleansing. I’m sad COVID didn’t do the job better.

          While I get it and I wish people were more informed it’s because education has been dismantled on purpose. No one deserves do die, especially from the actions of others directly or indirectly. We really need to fight for better education standards and not stop, not go and dismantle the department of education…

          The only thing covid did was fhinder education with online classes and such. This is the year that the children born (19/20) right at the start of the pandemic are going to kinder they need all the support they can get…

          lets be better and do better, you can’t fight fire with fire…

            My (night school) education, personally, improved quite a lot with COVID. Yep, it was disrupted. But instead of spending two hours in transport I’d be at my desk. Instead of just sitting in a boring depressing auditory with my ADHD, ASD and possibly PTSD, I was at my desk with tea and my laptop and maybe some food and my dog nearby.

    If I and my friends and family could be certain of getting immunized against the inevitable H5N1 pandemic, this wouldn’t bother me so much. But RFK jr. will combat the flu with honey and whole grains and the death toll will make Covid look like a cold. Thinning the herd. Maybe we’ll get lucky and RFK jr & Trump and his true believers will get it first.

      This is a situation where we let Darwinism take it’s course. The people who are stupid enough to listen to this are going to drink it, get sick, and then wonder what happened. Maybe I’m more negative than usual, but fuck em. Let them fuck themselves.

    Go ahead. Let your anti science cultists get themselves sick. I don’t fucking care anymore.

    It feels like we’re living in the middle of one of those cultist documentaries, where 29 years from now the stupid fucks that survive are going to be on camera going “I know it sounds weird, but it was really compelling at the time”. Except this cult doesn’t even have fun drug fueled orgies.

      He’s going to be in a position where he may actually be able to ban pasteurized milk, vaccines, and more.

      You certainly may drink raw milk if you like, but it may always come with a nasty risk. Plus it doesn’t keep as well, so if it isn’t stored perfectly, you might have a 12 dollar gallon of foul white liquid.

    If it didn’t risk spreading disease to everyone else, I would totally be on board with letting science deniers drink more raw milk
