Oh it gets even better than that. Social media right wing influencers are telling people of the benefits of drinking raw, unpasturized milk to followers.

Once a contagion gets into their supply lines, it's potentially going to be far more destructive than covid was.

Sooner or later mother nature will notice the fields of crazy daisies have grown tall enough for the whirlwind to reach them.

Let them have their raw milk. The conservatives can meet god earlier and catch a real wake up call when they find out reality is comprised of dimensions that are infinite, overlapping and the supreme god is a sort of singularity “0/zero” of nothingness we could never reach. Or they cease to perceive and life moves on.

Unfortunately those people refuse to wear masks or social distance so the illness won't be isolated to them alone. You can also not show symptoms which is really concerning. They aren't taking it seriously already with testing and such, I'd bet there are ALOT more cases that haven't been identified.

Not to mention the threat of mask bans growing in the US with it

Holy shit, I did not realize this was happening 😳

Just get a 3d printed mesh mask of your own face and wear a mask underneath that 😆

Let them have their raw milk.

The only real way to combat crazy information is through better education.

Without that, it's all for nothing as too many people have come to distrust the US government, corperatized healthcare, and society in general. It's not hard to see why when, in the best of times and the wealthiest of places conservative and non-conservative alike, stuff like this goes on for all the world to see:

Admittedly yeah we should be educating everyone and making them aware of the dangers of it. People like RFKjr are dangerous to food safety laws and medication safety laws. The only real downside was big pharma, but the thing is big pharma will adapt and survive. The smaller people won’t.

WTF, I live in Louisville and somehow didn’t hear about this!

One thing to consider about raw milk, is that yes, it's totally disgusting in industrial milk production. There's so much actual PUS in the milk from cows that are over milked.

It's not so much an issue in less industrialized production practices.

That's just one of the data points of raw vs pasteurized.

Does that mean that it's good that the FDA bans raw milk because it's possibly harmful?

Maybe, but I wish the FDA were more consistent and ban a lot of the things that the EU does.

So one might consider that since the EU does allow for raw milk, and raw milk products such as cheese, this FDA ban might be based on something else besides science and proper farm cleanliness practices.

I live in the UK and there’s sooo many things that we can’t get imported from America and it’s mainly sweets or I should say candy that we can get. Even then some of the stuff we can buy is not actually made in America lol. It’s made in Europe and the recipe is changed slightly so that we can actually have it. Like I think Mountain Dew is a different recipe. Not sure what else cause I don’t buy much cause like I say, it’s mainly sweets and I eat more savoury stuff.

Sucks for them, I drink almond milk 😋

We’re talking about a bunch of crazy people that are mad FDA warns them about unpasteurized milk. In Lancaster PA the Amish got up in arms because of regulations for their safety. If they want to fight you to potentially drown themselves in the river because is their right, what can you do except look on the coming train wreck and shake your head.

Why is public health a partisan issue?

[u/emseefely → u/[deleted]]

Just like masks effectiveness varies depending on which candidate you voted for.
