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.
You're sort of right ( based on the article I think you read about) The cats drank bird flu contaminated raw milk which led to them dying. that being said, for that reason, raw milk is very dangerous to humans because pasteurized milk wouldn't be as dangerous. https://arstechnica.com/science/2024/04/concerning-spread-of-bird-flu-from-cows-to-cats-suspected-in-texas/
RFK is secretly a flu virus wearing a human suit.
On the plus side the high mortality rate should lower the spread.
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.
trump's appointments are in the style "Who is the worst person i know for the job that lives inside my colon?"
if Pablo Escobar was still alive, he'd probably have been appointed head of the DEA
Apart from the bird flu being really fucking dangerous raw milk is just a matter of being used to it. If you drink it your whole life it is really not a problem to drink it, as long as a proper hygiene is applied. However, aomeone who isn't used to it might get sick from drinking it.
Raw milk can contain dangerous bacteria like salmonella, E. coli, Listeria, Campylobacter, and others.
Sounds yummy
I know a guy who got tuberculosis from raw milk.
Raw milk is dangerous. When I was growing up people would get sick all the time from raw milk it gets contaminated all the time.
We can’t even manage to keep listeria out of our waffles and deli meats snd have e coli onions but sure, raw milk will be no problem.
the guy responsible for the death of 83 Samoans has more health advice …
If it didn't risk spreading disease to everyone else, I would totally be on board with letting science deniers drink more raw milk
