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.

RFK is secretly a flu virus wearing a human suit.

On the plus side the high mortality rate should lower the spread.

[–] Viking_Hippie 11 points 4 hours ago (2 children)

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

[–] dellish 10 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

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

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.

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

[–] [email protected] 22 points 8 hours ago

By experts, do they mean anyone that paid attention to science and/or history classes in any developed country?

Maybe I’m remembering wrong, but wasn’t there a Portlandia sketch about why raw milk is bad?

I say let him do it. Let him fuck around for a month. Those laws were written in blood for a goddamn reason.

Or we could not have a massive salmonella epidemic in the U.S.
