Beautiful ... the Darwin Awards are now coming to your grocery store
Let them get their raw milk then?
Kids shouldn't die because their parents are idiots.
The rare salient point.
The frightening thing is that there are a bunch of "YEAH! KILL THOSE KIDS!" people elsewhere in the thread.
I mean if they grow up to be MAGA…….

Pathogens don't care whether or not you spread them to other people who don't drink raw milk, I'm afraid.
And people who care, actually do things like get vaccines, and believe doctors.
Unless they can't, some people are immunocompromised. The world is more complicated than you think, so try thinking instead of reacting.
Well, I get that. And at this point, I'm sicking of trying to keep people from setting the house on fire, while they are dousing themselves with gasoline.
You are living in the same house
Please tell me about the salmonella and e. coli vaccines.
I dunno if we have them, because they are both only transmissible via tainted food or water. And, well, if you don't drink or eat tainted food, you wont really have to worry, now will you?
You don't know that you can't have a vaccine against bacteria?
Then maybe you're out of your depth here.
There isn't an available bird flu vaccine that we could manufacture fast enough to make it available even if we started right now. This is assuming that they let us have it instead of telling us to tough it out and take some vitamin C.
There are actually several already ready to go, just not done because... Well, Bird Flu hasn't made the jump.

And, as long as the civilize nations of the world keep doing the rational thing, they'll be able to limit the damage to just the US.
You didn't even read that, did you?
H5N1 continually mutates, meaning vaccines based on current samples of avian H5N1 cannot be depended upon to work in the case of a future pandemic of H5N1. While there can be some cross-protection against related flu strains, the best protection would be from a vaccine specifically produced for any future pandemic flu virus strain. Daniel R. Lucey, co-director of the Biohazardous Threats and Emerging Diseases graduate program at Georgetown University, has made this point, "There is no H5N1 pandemic so there can be no pandemic vaccine."[34] However, "pre-pandemic vaccines" have been created; are being refined and tested; and do have some promise both in furthering research and preparedness for the next pandemic.[35] Vaccine manufacturing companies are being funded to increase flexible capacity so that if a pandemic vaccine is needed, facilities will be available for rapid production of large amounts of a vaccine specific to a new pandemic strain.[36]
There is no guarantee that any "pre-pandemic" vaccines will work.
But then, you think you can vaccinate against bacteria...
You can just buy darwin awards right off the shelf, now.
