1 in 5 samples of pasteurized milk had bird flu virus fragments, FDA says
Milk sampled from areas with infected herds of dairy cows was more likely to be positive.
You're viewing a single thread.
It should be noted that this is just a method to determine the amount of infected cows. The milk itself isn't a threat to anyone. Virus fragments in themselves can't do anything, they're just a sign of the original cow problem.
Call out anyone that tries to fearmonger about the milk being dangerous.
The bigger concern, that not many people are taking about, is wildlife. This bird flu is spreading out in the wild and has been taking out all sorts of endangered birds and mammals in mass quantities.
And if something jumps into humans, it’s more likely to happen from the massive spread happening in local wildlife.
No more tongue when kissing pigeons. Got it.
That tumescence cloaca that really does it for you huh?
Yeah gotta nip that in the bud. Although people stepping away from buying dairy milk wouldn't be so bad I guess.
Hooray for lactose intolerance!
yay
Fun fact: it's estimated that 68% of worldwide human adults are lactose intolerant.
One of the health orgs did note raw milk may pose a risk.
But raw milk is also not allowed to be sold for human consumption.
There's still people using livestock dewormer as a cure all when they can't get their doc to write a script... so not drinking raw milk is just a libtard "suggestion" to them or the person saying it is just "in the pocket of big dairy" ...
weee!!! oh what a fun & exciting dystopia we're in!! /s
You talking about Ivermectin? Do you know that’s been prescribed hundreds of millions of times as human medicine before the pandemic?
That’s like calling popcorn “livestock feed”.
edit: It’s a serious question. Did you know that or not? If it’s true and you didn’t know it, what does that imply about your information sources?
Yeah it’s widely considered the most important medicine in human history. It’s amazing for what it does when used for what it should be!!
It is some places, in the US it varies state by state.

From what I've read it doesn't seem to be a particularly severe disease for cows anyway. The hubbub is mostly about the potential for farm and dairy workers to catch it directly from a cow, which still seems like an incredibly rare occurrence
Seems to hit cats a bit hard. Not that you should be feeding them milk anyways.

The milk isn't contagious anyway
Most cats are lactose intolerant and milk can make them sick because of that.
OCP! Original Cow Problems! I figured out RoboCop finally!
Dead or alive, you're drinking my milkshake!
