Raw milk fans plan to drink up as experts warn of high levels of H5N1 virus

The institute's founder, Mark McAfee, told the Los Angeles Times this weekend that his customers are, in fact, specifically requesting raw milk from H5N1-infected cows. According to McAfee, his customers believe, without evidence, that directly drinking high levels of the avian influenza virus will give them immunity to the deadly pathogen.

Looks like it’s going to be a fun flu season this year 🫠 Every day I feel more justified in my decision to relentlessly mask with an N95 every time I’m indoors in public.

These raw milk fools never learn. Raw milk has always been dangerous. Now even more dangerous. Avoid raw milk.

The California-based Raw Milk Institute called the warnings "clearly fearmongering." The institute's founder, Mark McAfee, told the Los Angeles Times this weekend that his customers are, in fact, specifically requesting raw milk from H5N1-infected cows. According to McAfee, his customers believe, without evidence, that directly drinking high levels of the avian influenza virus will give them immunity to the deadly pathogen.

By all means, drink up, morons, get the hell out of our gene pool, we've got enough troubles without your Dimwit DNA.

Is raw milk the new anti-vax?

You know I used to think that would be great for all of these idiots to catch and die from whatever plagues they damn well like. But then I remembered that there are children in the world, And then also immuno-compromised people. Innocent people don't deserve to be the victims of mass stupidity, especially children. If you're stupid enough to do something terminal or life ruining, fine, just make sure that it doesn't impact anyone else. Go destroy yourself in private.

If we all have to endure another pandemic that will further worsen our overall health... we really do live in the dumbest timeline.

you know what i won't miss? these people.

It's all milky fun and games with a side of creamy fat until someone gets a case of brucellosis.

Biden should tell everyone NOT to drink raw milk. Farmers will make tons of money and love him for it, and darwin will take over costing tRump votes. The end result will make for a better America.

Can we just skip to producing a vaccine for this now? If they're that intent on giving it every possible chance to jump to humans, and we obviously can't stop them, let's at least try to contain it before we get Pandemic 2: Electric Boogaloo.

God: Solved /S

Well, they tried to warn them.

More room for us if they can't follow suggested instructions.

If they are wearing maga hats I am going to look the other way.

Covid got a lot of the really dumb ones. Raw milk will get the annoying hippies.

Weird. My plantbased milk never made me sick.

I'm going to play scientist here and not knee-jeek call these people names. Is there actually any evidence of viable viral transmission in raw cow's milk? The expression and transmission of viruses in human breast milk is an extremely complex subject. Antibodies are often expressed in breast milk, and active viruses are only sometimes expressed, with highly variable infection rates among infants based on the type of virus. So my genuine question: What evidence is there supporting this warning not to drink raw milk for fear of H5N1 transmission?
