    These are the kind of people that will refuse a vaccine because it has some of the inert pathogen in it but want to drink milk with the live pathogen in it to gain immunity.

    You don’t even need to remove all the safety labels to wipe these fuckers out but they will take quite a few others with them

    I grew up drinking lightly pasteurized milk (still beige) and for a few years I drank raw milk because as an adult because it was the only way to get the full flavor I grew up with. So, I understand being raw milk enthusiasts because of flavor, but I sure as shit don’t think the flavor is worth getting H5N1.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:

    But that hasn’t stopped a group of raw milk enthusiasts from seeking out untreated dairy in their search for purported immune system benefits.

    In other words, intentionally seeking out being infected by the virus by drinking raw milk — something the CDC expressly advises against — is a bad idea.

    “Deliberating consuming raw milk in the hope of becoming immune to avian influenza is playing Russian roulette with your health,” UC Davis researcher Michael Payne told the LA Times.

    “Deliberately trying to infect yourself with a known pathogen flies in the face of all medical knowledge and common sense.”

    One study also examined dead barn cats at dairies in Texas and Kansas that were infected by the virus, suggesting that raw milk may be dangerous to other mammals.

    “While there have been no known cases of human transmission of H5N1 from raw milk, it’s certainly conceivable that it could happen, and this is a highly fatal virus not just for cats but for humans too,” said American Academy of Pediatrics Committee on Infectious Diseases chair Sean O’Leary said in a recent statement.
