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
That's a way fucking bigger number than I thought what the hell. You gotta like have a guy for that.
It's akin to telling me 1 in 20 of us have a moonshine guy. Which this board may not be the best sample size for as im sure it skews higher than that
I know both a raw milk lady and a moonshine guy 🤔
not interested in either product, but kinda feeling special now to have this direct access to lethal homemade consumables
Moonshine guy is unironically safer
Not gonna catch TB from moonshine, that’s for sure.
I used to live in a rural area with a lot of small farms and there was this loophole where you'd pay a company for partial ownership of a cow, and then they'd deliver raw milk to you. This was their way around laws prohibiting the sale of raw milk, since if you own a cow you're allowed to drink the milk raw if you want. So yeah unfortunately there's easy ways to get it if you live near farmers and shit.
I wouldn't recommend having a guy for that, that's not real raw milk.
Milk comes from cows, not guys.
Raw milk is a real rural woo woo thing. Rural culture has its own brand of essential oils weirdos that do shit like this.
In my city one of the “natural” grocery stores sells it. Shouldn’t be fucking legal.
“natural” grocery stores
So same thing but double the price?
More like 1 in 20 households having a moonshine guy which is probably more like 1 in 100 directly interacting with the moonshine guy.
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!
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 
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.
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 think that remains to be seen, 'fragments' might just be what a successful protective measure looks like. do viruses leave 'fragments' after other disinfectant treatments?
Yes, when something causes the virus to burst/lyse, the bits are still gonna be there. The issue is the fragments are even in milk in the first place.
I mean you're putting it in your mouth, the same place you breath out of.
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.
