    This will almost certainly cause a rise in neonatal Listeria cases from maternal transmission…which even if the child survives, can leave them with lifelong disability and functional dependency. Through no fault of their own…just their parents.

      Unfortunately it’s not that simple. Avian flu and other viruses can potentially spread from cows to humans, where it’s more likely to mutate and spread. It’s never the risk-accepters that suffer most. It’s always the sick, the poor, the very young and the very old, and the healthcare workers who suffer. The people who refused to get vaccines or take even basic precautions with COVID killed a lot of people, while the vast majority of those assholes survived.

        A coworker of mine (African American) lost three cousins to COVID. Minorities are less likely to have good healthcare or the resources to pay out of pocket when necessary. I’m mostly on team Darwin too but I agree it’s not just the idiots that will get hurt. The way things are going schools might even start teaching that raw milk isn’t that harmful.

      And when more parents start giving their kids raw milk, what then?

      Forcing kids to eat dangerous food is child abuse.

    Sorry but how the fuck are insurance companies OK with this? They hold extreme amounts of power over the US. They are going to have to do ridiculous amounts of payouts for hospital bills.

    How the fuck are people’s life saving surgeries getting denied at pre-approval, but they are not denying people’s coverage for fucking drinking raw milk??

        Tuberculosis is also carried in unpastuerised milk. The US currently has the largest outbreak in its history.

          Yeah, in Kansas City. From what I’ve been able to track down, Patient Zero came back from a recent trip to the Federated States of Micronesia. Current infected rate reported hit 66 people, but that might be higher.

          If you’re in the Midwest, brush up on symptoms to look for, and stay away from Nursing Homes and elementary schools if you’re vulnerable.

        Bird flu? Human-to-human either isn’t happening, or is extremely rare, can’t remember.

        For now. If it mutates to become more contagious without becoming less deadly, that becomes an everyone problem

    I drank milk from the tank and cream is the best. However, I still prefer pasteurized milk. If the MAGAts want to drink raw milk, let them and watch the green apple splatter flow.

    Why do these fucking morons always want the objectively worst thing? The absolute dumbest thing you can think of and they’re all for it. Why is the world like this now? I can’t fucking stand it. “Let’s get rid of the FDA and OSHA!” Like, what the fuck is this horse shit. This shouldn’t be allowed to happen! I’m legitimately losing my sanity more and more each day.

      it’s because the government wants to fuck of us over duuude !! everything they say we should do opposite!! the government is a giant monolith and every human that works for them magically agrees to the same ideologies which force us to drink raw milk!! because they agreed pasteurized milk is good therefore it is bad !!

      that’s really all they think

        What’s wrong with the taste of pasteurized milk? Does the salmonella in the raw milk give it extra spiciness or something?

          See this is what I mean. You have literally no idea what milk actually tastes like, just that sugar water sold in stores these days.

            That’s not an answer.

            Also, I don’t see any sugar listed here as an added ingredient, just the sugar that’s naturally in cow’s milk. You know cow’s milk naturally has sugar in it, right? Even the raw kind?

            Is Müller lying to the British government?

              That is absolutely an answer. You need to try it at least once in your life, you literally don’t know what you are talking about.

                Your answer was based on the falsehood that the milk I drink has added sugar, which it does not.

                So sure, it’s an answer, it’s just a lying answer.

        Ok, so they get to watch their kids die at their own hands, and then head off to jail. Problem seems to be fixing itself.

          What you said is horrible and you should feel horrible.

          But your willing to sacrifice children’s lives for your own political goals is noted. Israel does something similar.

              You really are not connecting A and B here.

              They said there should be a general strike. I said to them that 40% of Americans live paycheck-to-paycheck, meaning that missing work means not being able to feed and house their kids.

              They said they can just take their kids to a soup kitchen. Which, and I don’t know how to make this any clearer to you, will not stop their kids from getting taken away from them because they’re homeless.

              So you’re right, they aren’t responsible for other people’s kids and neither are you. You just both expect people to sacrifice them anyway.

                look bro, would i push for a law that allows raw milk to be sold? Probably not, if they push one, am i going to stop them just because they might end up killing people? Also no, collateral damage is still damage, and we’re so far gone it’s not gonna improve much at this point.

    As much as I delight in watching stupid people suffer stupid consequences, the problem here is the same with their anti-mask bullshit - diseases spread. Bird Flu, or something else, could end up being the next COVID pandemic because these fuckwits are gullible as shit. Then they spread those diseases to the most vulnerable people around them, including children. These kinds of people are why I sometimes regret being an artist. If anyone belongs in hell, it’s people who hurt kids.

      Cows are getting avian influenza. Farm workers are getting it from the chickens and cows. There is concern that people may eventually catch bird flu from raw milk. The more people get infected, the greater the odds that a mutation will develop that allows human to human transmission. Unfortunately, we may, yet again, have all of our lives and livelihoods threatened by people too ignorant to take even the most basic precautions for self preservation.
