    He is messed up far more than you think.

    I just hope they have the raw milk distribution set up to go live nationwide at the same time. I want all the people excited for this to get it, and enjoy it for as long as possible before the news gets to them.

      Unpasteurised milk drank at cow temperature ‘can’ be fine - depending on the cow, milker and drinker. It’s ludicrous to even suggest it could be safely distributed nationally in the US. He’s an absolute lunatic - and so is anyone who buys it.

    If I and my friends and family could be certain of getting immunized against the inevitable H5N1 pandemic, this wouldn’t bother me so much. But RFK jr. will combat the flu with honey and whole grains and the death toll will make Covid look like a cold. Thinning the herd. Maybe we’ll get lucky and RFK jr & Trump and his true believers will get it first.

      Hilariously, they’ll be culling their own herd, so to speak. You just know the MAGAts will never wear masks again, even to save their own lives.

    I’m fairly certain, they just all got together to make a list of all the stupid things they could do to own the libs.

    The neat thing about this one, is that It only hurts the people that are going to follow him. The people who didn’t vote for that side know better.

          RFK’s version of the conspiracy is that vaccines are a scam inflicted by private pharma. Given his druthers, he would probably outlaw not just vaccines, but all corporation-produced medicine.

    Let’s see here, RFK wants to ban vaccines and promote raw milk.
    There is currently a bird flu epidemic in dairy cattle from bird droppings getting into the feed.
    Consuming raw milk is one of the few ways humans can become infected with bird flu.
    I’m sure this will be fine and the virus won’t mutate to allow for human to human transfer, it if it does luckily it only has a 56% mortality rate compared to the Covid morality rate of ~4% during its peak.

      You might misunderstand. The bird droppings did not accidentally get into the cow feed. Humans put it there intentionally to save money. Just search for “poultry litter” or “broiler litter” and “cattle feed” if you don’t believe me. The people who came up with this idea are actually proud of it.

      In the US, right now, the dairy farms where they let the cats drink raw milk saw half their cats die.

      This is an actual thing.

        [preface and disclaimer: I’m remembering off the top of my head something I read over 30 years ago, details may not be exactly correct]

        Not sure whether you remember the chapter of Sideways Stories from Wayside School, by Louis Sachar, in which there was a student who nobody liked, who was a real asshole and wore a stinky raincoat. The kids kept trying to take off his raincoat, but underneath was another, stinkier raincoat, just layers and layers of progressively stinky raincoats, and with every raincoat removed, the kid just became a bigger asshole and his laugh louder and more high-pitched.

        At the very end, he turned out to be a dead rat in a pile of stinky raincoats.

        That’s what the whole administration is shaping up to be. Except we knew this was coming and allowed it to happen, so I guess that, ultimately, we are the dead rat.

        True, but on the minus side, dumb people actively seeking out the infected milk would artificially increase the instances and thus the spread.

            That’s because you’re overlooking the fact that stupid people mingle with other people whether they want to or not.

            If you don’t have at least a handful of truly idiotic coworkers and neighbors, you’re probably a self-employed hermit…

            But on the minus side, other people don’t have the choice to completely avoid those dumb people and thus minimize their risk of infection.

            If they did, covid wouldn’t have been a tenth as bad as it was/is.

            Normally I’d say that I don’t want this to happen to a bunch of people who don’t deserve it, but drinking raw milk is preventable and not contagious, and therefore entirely self-contained, right? So yeah, sow those seeds, guys, I’m totally owned.
