Apparently, a new front in the culture war is that conservatives want to drink raw milk now to fight against “big milk”.
This, while cattle are being affected by an epidemic of species-jumping bird flu.

Wouldn't it be funny if this idea was started by the Chinese military to get even for Pentagon anti-vax campaigns?

Surely the miss spelled “convicted ex president Donald Trump’s anti-vax campaign”.
Pentagon ran secret anti-vax campaign to undermine China during pandemic
So I get what you’re saying. But this was inarguably a Trump admin thing, regardless of which part of the government or military actually carried out the plans. This sounds and feels like a thing he’d do, and in fact fully aligns with his bullshittery of calling Covid the “China virus” in countless press conferences around that time. It’s a deeply stupid tactic, because this is the sort of shit that diminishes the soft power of the US in the long term.
