Problem is, it won't just affect them. Tuberculosis can spread just fine.

Are they or is that just what the media wants us to believe? I hear the "left" is obsessed with all kinds of things too yet I never seem to encounter these people outside of social media.
Gullible fucks. How many of them would die if they were told that they can boost their immunity by sticking their house keys in a power outlet.
But the lamestream media says not to do it! That means they're hiding the secret to cleansing out the 5g nanoRNA or some shit.

So is there a bird flu vaccine I can get yet or what?
No no no no. Just megadose on vitamin C and take since herbal remedies of questionable origin. You'll be just fine. And if you're not then we'll just blame you for not living a healthy enough lifestyle.
Is now a good time to remember that the unregulated supplements market is a huge base of GOP funding?

Adult humans should not be drinking milk in liquid form in any way.
If you mean biologically- the ones without lactose tolerance, sure. The ones with lactose tolerance evolved to do so.
Morally is a different story, although even there, I don't really see a problem with a subsistence farmer living off of cow and goat's milk. Factory dairy farming is another issue.
Even without lactose tolerance, mankind found a way to keep drinking milk. I really want to experiment mongolian kumis/airag someday

Go ahead, drink it ya dummies! Anything to own the libs!
Edit - I'm being sarcastic!
If they catch bird flu, we all catch bird flu. This idiocy should still be discouraged.

If they want to drink raw milk and cough their lungs out; I am not going to stop them. The conservatives clearly wish to be left alone in their stupidity and lack of education, and we can't force them to pursue knowledge.
I also suspect that the bird flu (H5N1) is not (as of yet, at the time this post was written...) likely to mutate to spread in a human-to-human context. It's not impossible for it to do so though...but the mutation(s) have not yet reached a point where humans can pass it on to each other by breathing the same air; I would guess that a significant contact (Like breathing, eating or touching a very very very large amount of a bodily output that contains the virus) is likely needed to spread that virus; as that's how it's spread from animal to human so far. TL;DR: I could be wrong; but I don't believe it's capable of a pandemic yet. Science has not yet presented enough strong evidence that this is spreading from person to person. I welcome any citations to prove that wrong however. Thankfully I'm not conservative, and do welcome being shown that my suppositions are indeed wrong; as long as it's done respectfully.
H5N1 isn't going to be the last virus. The next time they cough their lungs out, it could be contagious.
They've done it before, they'll do it again. Just give it time and with abundance of idiots helping it along, soon the Maga bird flu will be the hot new COVID.

I wonder if the GOP really thought this through. First, they try to breed more uneducated Americans, so they have a voter base that is stupid enough to vote conservative, and then they kill them off by a combination of an antivaxx mindset and unhealthy food that promotes an incoming pandemic virus.
They thought it through... Throughout every step of the process, they're making money hand over fist.
They want this. They want a form of neo-feudalism where they're the warlords, and everyone else that's left is their subject.
