Bird flu virus found in pasteurized milk, though officials maintain supply is safe
Bird flu virus found in pasteurized milk, though officials maintain supply is safe
The FDA is waiting on test results on the effects of pasteurization on the virus in cow's milk, but to date, it's seen nothing that would change the assessment that commercial milk is safe.
2 weeks to flatten the curve guys
The Food and Drug Administration said Tuesday that fragments of the bird flu virus had been detected in some samples of pasteurized milk in the U.S.
That’s a key word to leave out of the headline god damn. That would mean pasteurization did its job, whereas the headline implies to me “pasteurization does not kill this virus,” which would be a lot more concerning
According to an FDA study relying on 2016 and 2019 data, 4.4 percent of Americans report consuming raw milk in the past year, although the number has almost certainly grown since then.
Oh cool, great, the fucking idiots are going to kill millions more people by being actual fucking plague rats again
Good, I'm sad I'll never get to see an awesome fallout style future, but at least these based Chads are making me feel like we're in a future that's lost the benefits of modern science! Them and the people forgoing vaccines are the closest I'll get to fallout!
:yea:
Not me sitting here thinking dairy companies are also skimping on the pasteurizing process 👀
Real "The Jungle" hours
WE FED THE COWS THE BIRD DOODOO
Brb buying stock in Zoom
If I knew how to gamble on the markets rathe than just watch my 401k dwindle, I imagine puts on milk futures might be worth a punt
Just buy random penny stocks, works 100% of the time 1% of the time
this shit is a ticking time bomb. very cool that the lesson my country seems to have taken from covid is that lockdown is bad, and vaccines are scary
They’ve developed language and rhetoric against the COVID vaccines, just wait for the next one
We could simply stop feeding bird shit to cattle
Cow's milk? Well, we're safe then, because it's not like any human would or should drink something meant for baby cows
Everything is fine... I think I've heard that one before
What you expect the USA to learn from one million dead from covid? lol, lmao
The rulers of America did learn. They learned that Americans are willing to accept mass casualties from a pandemic so long as they could still go out for dinner and movies.
They don't care about dead commoners. Capitalism kills millions of poors all the time, what's a few more?
I had a Roz-when-RGB-died-laugh moment
Simply do not consume animal products.
Ah, I was hoping to go to some open mics and stuff. One of my jam sessions requires a Covid test and that's understandable.
what would happen if bird flu got into humans?
Nothing good
Deadly amounts of cope.
Well, it wouldn't be good to put it simply. Bird flu is an Influenza A virus. It could be a blip on the radar as flu season comes around or, as Wikipedia puts it
A bird-adapted strain of H5N1, called HPAI A(H5N1) for highly pathogenic avian influenza virus of type A of subtype H5N1, is the highly pathogenic causative agent of H5N1 flu, commonly known as avian influenza ("bird flu"). It is enzootic (maintained in the population) in many bird populations, especially in Southeast Asia.
You could end up with a highly pathogenic common cold going around. As I like to think about it, if you're adapted to a different animal, you're not calibrated to survive with humans as a host. If you accidentally manage to survive via mutation, then you could do some real damage instead of the mild illness that lets you prolong how long you're there so you can shed more virus into the environment.
We put Boeing out of business
A higher mortality rate than COVID and everyone's immune systems are already a bit fucked due to the deliberate mishandling of COVID.
Invest in zoom
seems like a pretty unlikely vector for a respiratory virus, isn't it?
Someone already posted the full quote. They found fragments of the virus in the milk, which obvs isn't going infect anyone.
But that still means ⬆️ risk of animal to human infection and the even higher risk of human to human infection.
I mean you're putting it in your mouth, the same place you breath out of.
You haven't tried huffing milk???
So... heat pasteurizing the milk kills the virus. What if it gets on raw vegetables and fruits?
We're ready to stop another pandemic, right? RIGHT?
Good thing I dont drink milk, milk is gross btw.
I'm ready for another adventure.
