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.

[–] Stern@lemmy.world 11 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

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

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 3 points 53 minutes ago (1 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@lemmy.world 2 points 5 minutes ago

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

trump's appointments are in the style "Who is the worst person i know for the job that lives inside my colon?"

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

the guy responsible for the death of 83 Samoans has more health advice …

And yet the Amish are healthier than just about anyone. I've had the pleasure of having raw milk upon staying overnight with a friend who owned a cow, and it's vastly different than the chalk died piss water they sell in the grocery store. And I survived!

[–] Duamerthrax@lemmy.world 3 points 12 minutes ago

One, Direct from cow raw milk has way less chances of contamination then mass produced raw milk.

Two, the Amish aren't going to do into detail about their health issues with someone who's only spending the night. It's their normal and what god wants, so why would they?

[–] MagicShel@lemmy.zip 5 points 28 minutes ago

Survivor bias in action. It might be delicious, Andee you can choose to take the risk, but the science is undeniable.

[–] pivot_root@lemmy.world 1 points 17 minutes ago* (last edited 8 minutes ago)

Unpasteurized milk itself isn't the problem. It's the consequences of trying to milk cows at an industrial scale that are. You simply can't keep it free from contamination the entire time from the cow to the grocery store shelf.

Without pasteurization, the pathogens that make their way into the milk are going to fester. Fresh milk from a cow isn't going to kill you, but drinking that just might.

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.
