Next you're going to tell me to stop drinking raw rat milk?

If they had fed the mice ivermectin and turmeric first, and rubbed some urine in their eyes, they would have been immune, probably.
-
But only if it was a woman's urine collected during menstruation, then aged for no less than four weeks, having been exposed to no light other than moonlight.
You can determine potency by the taste.

Does the "I only drink raw milk" crowd skew more in one direction politically?
-
I think you get a split of hard right conspiracy theorists and hard left granola crunchers.
-
pretty sure its like a 90:10 split there
-
And neither side would really be a loss.
-
This is correct.

I'm not a huge fan of milk, but if the FDA says that there's a potential to get H5N1 from drinking it straight from the cow, they don't have to tell me twice. Incidentally, I caught H1N1 on the Tokyo subway a few years back. It gave me a really bad fever for a couple of days. Would not recommend.

"Not to be outdone by China some sections of the USA populace tried to start their own pandemic in 2024 by drinking raw milk from H5N1 infected cows"

Everytime I see "riddled" and "virus" together I cannot help but think of that Ricky Gervais/Liam Neeson sketch... "riddled with AIDS"
-
"Riddled" makes me think of Futurama Nixon, myself

We pasteurized milk for a reason, raw milk was a cause of a lot of issues.
There's not much of a reason to drink milk nowadays anyway. Oat milk has become so good in emulating the taste of cow milk that there's just no point in going for the original product with all its massive downsides.
Please give me recommendations of oat milk that tastes good. I’ve been desperately looking and/or hoping for bacterial production to kick off to make it more environmentally sustainable, but I haven’t found anything that tastes remotely as good (on its own or in a latte). I drink ultrafiltered milk for what it’s worth, usually 2% so I don’t need the creamy aspect, I just like the flavor.
The main reason to drink milk is not taste. It's the perfect mix of macros for growing kids. Plant based drinks cannot come close to real milk for nutrition.
Only if your tastebuds have failed completely. You probably smoke or have killed your sense of taste by other means if you believe that.
Smoking crack kills taste buds.
It was also drank for thousands and thousands of years, not the most dangerous thing around.
But we don’t have to take those minor risks in this day and age.
For thousands of years we shit and drank from the same rivers. That wasn't the most dangerous thing around either, but I'm kinda glad we stopped that too.
“Minor risks” being whole families dying or key family members getting poisoned as we transitioned to a society where most folks don’t own their own cow/source of milk.
It’s dangerous to assume all those years of use were a utopia. We used leaded gas for how long and are only just now getting to understand the ramifications?
By your mindset poisoning a future generation with lead is a “minor risk” we dealt with back then…
Uhhhh what? Milk was rearly drank and was processed into other things. That processing made it safer to eat. Also, massive industrial farming ensures one sick cow leads to hundreds of other sick cows. So now one gallon of milk is a mix from hundreds of cows and could come from hundreds of miles away.
Medieval logic applied to modern life
The average life expectancy for a human was also less than 30 for thousands and thousands of years.
