If they catch bird flu, we all catch bird flu. This idiocy should still be discouraged.

Yeah, normally I'm all for morons taking themselves out of the equation, but as with Covid, it won't be the morons that are most affected. It will be the sick, the poor, the old, and the young.

Sadly, they want everyone to die, not just them.

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.

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.

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.

Dr: Are you vaccinated?

Pat: No!

Dr: Do you drink raw milk?

Pat: Every day for breakfast!

Dr: Ok then we have a diagnosis, a severe case of stupid!

I've never heard anyone in the far-left make a point about unpasteurized milk, why would you put that in the title and then not reference that anywhere in the article, Salon?
