RFK Jr wants to promote raw milk as HHS secretary – experts say it’s dangerous
RFK Jr wants to promote raw milk as HHS secretary – experts say it’s dangerous
RFK Jr. promises to wage a ‘war on public health’ beginning with the legalization of raw milk consumption
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.
I think everyone is making way too much out of this. What could possibly go wr-
Oh.
Weird, I didn't get a paywall with the first one.
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.
I wanna say yay Darwin will save the day but I'm too afraid of intentional sabotage on pasteurized milk.
Today's Republican Party didn't get into their position of awesome power by listening to experts....

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.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.
You're sort of right ( based on the article I think you read about) The cats drank bird flu contaminated raw milk which led to them dying. that being said, for that reason, raw milk is very dangerous to humans because pasteurized milk wouldn't be as dangerous. https://arstechnica.com/science/2024/04/concerning-spread-of-bird-flu-from-cows-to-cats-suspected-in-texas/
RFK is secretly a flu virus wearing a human suit.
[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.
trump's appointments are in the style "Who is the worst person i know for the job that lives inside my colon?"
if Pablo Escobar was still alive, he'd probably have been appointed head of the DEA
Junior’s gonna get that job.
Raw milk is dangerous. When I was growing up people would get sick all the time from raw milk it gets contaminated all the time.
We can’t even manage to keep listeria out of our waffles and deli meats snd have e coli onions but sure, raw milk will be no problem.
the guy responsible for the death of 83 Samoans has more health advice …
Oh god he’s gonna kill someone
Again
That’s the plan.
He's already killed a lot of people.
He also likely killed some people with his anti COVID vaccine rhetoric back in 2020.
Don't worry, the worms will protect your brain..
If it didn't risk spreading disease to everyone else, I would totally be on board with letting science deniers drink more raw milk
By experts, do they mean anyone that paid attention to science and/or history classes in any developed country?
Raw milk and raw dogging porn stars

Dumb af is what it is.
Maybe I’m remembering wrong, but wasn’t there a Portlandia sketch about why raw milk is bad?
Apart from the bird flu being really fucking dangerous raw milk is just a matter of being used to it. If you drink it your whole life it is really not a problem to drink it, as long as a proper hygiene is applied. However, aomeone who isn't used to it might get sick from drinking it.
Raw milk can contain dangerous bacteria like salmonella, E. coli, Listeria, Campylobacter, and others.
Sounds yummy
I know a guy who got tuberculosis from raw milk.
And that's why I said as long as proper hygiene is being practised. This also includes separating the milk from sick cows.
Also, to kind of prove my point: Every single farmer I know, that has cows, drinks the raw milk. Did they die or get sick? No. Does this mean that nobody will get sick? Also no.
Just seen this is in lemmy.world - home of the big brains who are experts IN EVERYTHING. Makes sense why a factually accurate statement gets downvoted.
By doing this, he is pushing more people to consume plant based milk to help the planet. It’s actually big brain of him.
