I kinda get risking a tummy ache for raw milk if that’s your thing. I don’t get risking being patient zero in a bird flu pandemic.
I think people have already proven that they rather kill their families and neighbours than experience a mild inconvenience.
The inconvenience in question here is not being able to do something unimaginably stupid.
It's not even an inconvenience. Raw milk is harder to get, more expensive, and doesn't keep as long. And it's the sort of thing you have to actively look for to find it.
The thing I can't figure out is where these dumb opinions and attitudes are coming from and why is it getting worse? I can't go on social media without coming across something insanely stupid within a few minutes (like, I just saw a pro-raw milk post this morning on Facebook). But it's not just online - I'm seeing more and more "normal" people I know just adopt patently false ideas.
Like, what's happening to our society that people are just not using critical thinking anymore?
Yeah, I'd be all for them doing it if we weren't talking about an infectious disease.
We're gonna see Dysentary make a comeback because of these redcap fuckasses and they're gonna start whinging about how not being able to shit themselves to death in public is violating their freedumbs.
I learned about pasteurization in ELEMENTARY SCHOOL. These people are deeply uneducated.
They very likely learned about it then, too. It’s not lack of education; it’s lack of intelligence.
I remember reading an illustrated book about Louis Pasteur and his creation of his rabies vaccine. It showed tiny soldiers in the needle that went in and did battle with the rabies virus.
It also mentioned that he had already invented pasteurization to make our milk safer to drink.
I think that was in Kindergarten, but it may have been 1st grade.
We're witnessing the end result of decades of baked-n American Exceptionalism and "rugged individualism": a bunch of selfish pricks literally willing to kill themselves and others out of some bizarre form of oppositional defiant disorder.
This is the American Dream, folks.
People deserve a right to do to and with their bodies what they want.
People do not have the right to carelessly endanger other people. This goes for many things from second hand smoke to negligently spreading infectious diseases.
They want their own health to warn them about raw milk.
Those other health warnings are for other people.
Have we considered attaching electrodes to Louis Pasteur's corpse? He's probably spinning so fast in his grave we could solve the world's energy problems.
I mean, the more of them there are, the more chances the virus has to mutate into something more easily transmitted.
Birds fuck in milk.
Milk is for baby cows
not exclusively
die? more like take everyone down with you
How do you even get raw milk? I'm not enthusiastic enough to visit the farm myself
You're obviously not a true patriot.
Drinking milk and eating animal corpses after repeated outbreaks due to concentrated animal agriculture:
...
I'm more than happy to buy a few gallons to donate to the cause.
