LPT Don't freaking drink raw milk trying to get the new bird flu & develop antibodies. Hundred plus years of science says this is a terrible idea.
Food & DrinkWho is even doing this? And honestly, if they’re dumb enough to do it, why not just let them?
if they’re dumb enough to do it, why not just let them?
The more people infected, the more viral mutations happen under active selective pressure to thrive better in human hosts, and the higher the chance that one happens that is able to easily jump human-to-human, then everyone else suffers too
As OP said, a hundred plus years of science says it is a terrible idea. There's not a dumb-person exception, it's a terrible idea always
Problem is dumb people don’t believe in science they only believe what their overpaid pastor waving his dumb little book around says
I always love the news story about that lawmaker who fought and won the right to raw milk. Toasted his success with a glass of raw milk. And got food poisoning from that raw milk.
It’s almost like pasteurization came into existence precisely because raw milk regularly sickened and killed people.
Maybe he enjoyed some good stomach flu diarrhea
Yeah! Don't kink shame our lawmakers!
52% death rate in humans.
And half the cats in the affected dairies have died. In fact, that’s how they diagnosed this as avian flu — vets tested the dead cats.
4 more farms added to the infected list today.
Two mutations found last weekend which move the virus to be more adapted to humans.

Bidet ftw
Just bought one of those as well.
Thats 52% death rate of confirmed cases, over the last 20 years mind you.
Only one of those deaths occurred in the United States.
if these people cause H2H transmission can we charge them for murder?
Nobody would have known about this until you posted the link. No some idiot is going to do it, perpetrating the problem. This is why the internet is a bane on society.
It was on drudge, ser.
One of the most heavily trafficked news sites in the world.
Maybe several hundred comments dissuading people might help.
Least we can try
Nope , you're still a jackass.
Yeah, I say let them drink it. The less stupid people we have on this earth the better for everyone else.
Unless they're willing to submit to a quarantine enforced by lethal force they should not be allowed to consume tainted milk. We saw COVID kill tens of millions of people, everything that we know of bird flu seems to show if it makes the jump it could be worse.
1 farm worker in Texas is known to be the first cattle to human transmission a few weeks back.
Dude ended up bleeding out of his eyes and stuff.
Feel free to look it up.
Again, I will reiterate just the last part here.
NO.
At least we may be able to tell who's sick. This was the dairy worker that got infected with "Pink Eye" Texas farmer with bird flu from cow had intense eye bleeding: photo (nypost.com)
Painful bleeding.
Those folks give it to their kids though. Who then go onto develop TB and other conditions.
It isn't the child's fault for their parent's actions. Though, yes, children should be protected.
It isn’t the kids fault, but Adult choices that have bad consequences is a thing. And kids learn from parents, regardless.
Do you want a pandemic? Because that’s how you get a pandemic. (Well, potentially one way)
Ok great answer. Could’ve done without the snark tho tysm
We dont know who is doing this because the article OP linked doesnt cite any studies or polls on the issue. Just one dude saying he is “inundated” with requests. So like what, 100 requests? A million? This is a nothing story.
I'm sorry no one is exactly keeping an exact tally on "The number of people that may potentially be ushering in pandemic 2 - fuq you a loo"
I worked most of my life for personal liberty & individual property rights. Ron Paul 2008 was one of my favorite paid campaign gigs.
However - you also need to balance the rest of humanity folks.
This is unfortunately more popular than it should be.
NO.
Yeah this belongs in life amateur tips. If you're drinking raw milk, you are not yet at the level where pro tips can help you.

They never said to drink bleach apparently, after searching it. Trump said:
"A question that probably some of you are thinking of if you’re totally into that world, which I find to be very interesting. So, supposedly we hit the body with a tremendous, whether it’s ultraviolet or just very powerful light, and I think you said that hasn’t been checked, but you’re going to test it. And then I said supposing you brought the light inside the body, which you can do either through the skin or in some other way. (To Bryan) And I think you said you’re going to test that, too. Sounds interesting, right?"
Which people equated to using disinfectants in the body. Then the ceo of lysol said under no circumstances should you consume disinfectants.
Which led to Biden claiming Trump told people to drink bleach.
Kind of interesting seeing the evolution of that quote to it being him saying to drink bleach.
Because they might serve it to unsuspecting friends/family
Because then it will jump to us.
Fucking Homelander
Maybe because all human history they did it?
It’s 2024 bud, has drinking raw milk been the standard in your lifetime or anyone else alive rn?
I don’t even know where to get raw milk
Aside from a cow, obvs
Dairy farmers are occasionally caught selling it illegally.
I sell raw milk. There is nothing illegal about it.
Depends on where you live and how it’s sold.
Yeah. I'm aware. I'm just saying it's not illegal everywhere. I'm in the Midwest US
So, there is something illegal about it in other places, but because it isn't illegal for you, there's nothing illegal about it.
So, there is something legal about it in other places, but because it isn't legal for you, there's nothing legal about it.
There, I can question beg to the comment I responded to as well.
Comment I responded to implied that all raw dairy sales are illegal. This is not the case.
‘Nothing illegal’ implies there is nothing illegal.
Edit: I love people who get angry and block you because they’re just wrong.
Correct, there is absolutely nothing illegal about what I do.
You’re really hanging on and not acknowledging that your statement is incorrect. You didn’t say there is nothing illegal for me to sell raw milk. You said there is nothing illegal about selling raw milk. All you had to do was clarify that in your are it isn’t illegal.
There’s a farmer’s market near me that publicizes it all the time and I see it. Says “Not for human consumption” as some of the craziest MAGA folk comment how beneficial it is to their health.
Look if I want to drink milk straight from the tap I will.
I grew up on a ranch, I've done this. I have no shame.
Yeah but when you go to McDonald's in the truck you have to get out and go around to get a drink with her in the bed of truck.
But she like French fries 🍟 so it is worth it.
Straight from the teat
I want to know how they got it in that milk bottle anyway
I ain’t no cow, human milk only.
I can't wait for TikTok challenges hit the internet.
History repeating itself. When covid was in its beginning stages and people were put on lockdown there were countless groups of idiotic rogues throwing covid parties to try to build immunity.
So many people were in denial and died. Im not at all surprised people are willing to catch birdflu and willing to risk death on themselves or others in the community.We live in an idiocracy.
Can we please let nature take its natural course for once?
No, because these morons can cause the next pandemic. Animal to human transmission is terrifying because it only keeps mutating. It only gets worse. It only gets more potent.
I didn't avoid covid all these years just to get bird flu because some fucking idiot decided he was smarter than science.

Idk, I think this is a situation where we let Natural Selection weed them out.
Cut it with bleach to stabilize the effects.
Let me live! I'm going to drink it with my ivermectin cream cheese extra gluten bagel in the morning.
I think the deformed is supposed to be inserted rectally
The older you get the more viruses and infections do permanent damage on your vascular system. This increases the chances of heart attacks, strokes and organs failure later on in life. The idea of forming a natural immunity without medical assistance goes out the window when you hit your mid 20s.
You know…. If people want to remove their stupidity from the world voluntarily 🤔
So these people are going to drink raw milk to get bird flu, but stop because they read this post?!?!? lol alright.
I believe this post is meant as a "wink wink don't do this. But actually do this. " A way to advertise something socially unacceptable while still technically following the rules.
The people doing it don’t agree with science. You can’t fight illogical ideas with logic.

But then how will I expose myself to foodborn listeria?
You have to lick the blue bell from the containers at the store just like the rest of us plebs!
I can honestly say the thought of doing this never crossed my mind, but I have met people and agree they are stupid, so...good tip.
But but but! Mikenzie heard it from her sisters friend on Facebook that drinking raw milk is good! Fck the years of science! /s
It's so weird how many raw milk influencers there are spreading false info and potentially getting people sick
Who would do this?
Never understood the logic of intentionally trying to get sick. So let me get this straight, you're trying to catch the virus and get sick from it... so that you don't catch the virus and get sick from it? Mind boggling
I believe in it and I grew a tail. My balance is better and the wife is happy
challenge accepted/s
You can get tuberculosis from raw milk.
If the cow doesn't have tuberculosis, you will not catch that illness from that cow. But some of the things you can catch, just like people, aren't apparent until a week or so after the animal becomes sick.
It's a law that is written in blood.
Milk sellers have a history of doing things they shouldn't, like selling plaster water. Babies died.
Of course, present milk sellers wouldn't do this. But babies, that actually need milk, cannot talk. It is up to each parent, to do what they can to maintain the health of their child.
Don’t try to get in Darwin’s way, man.
Humans consumed unpasteurized milk for tens of thousands of years, and it is widely consumed across the world today.
The reason unpasteurized milk has been outlawed in the US is to free corporate agriculture from the legal obligation to keep dairy cows and their milk healthy and safe.
Are people actually doing this or is this the most niche lifeprotip ever?
I saw a person getting raw milk delivered to their house the other day. Like old fashioned milk man with dirty glass reusable bottles with cow shit stuck all over them.
Are you serious about the bottles being filthy when being dropped off full of “fresh” milk???
O
M
G
Yes. It was a beat up old van unrefrigerated with a big sign raw milk fresh from farm and a phone number. Bottles filthy
Unbelievably disgusting!
It's ok, let Darwin sort it out
That depends on who’s drinking it. Orange turds, for example, should empty the carton into their bellies or just inject like bleach.
Raw milk is disgusting and I don’t get why people drink it
People have been drinking it for thousands of years. It tastes different, and can be very fresh. If done right, as I understand, it's mostly safe, but stuff happens.
When every farmer had a few cows, almost everyone living on farms drank raw milk. Most people who live on a farm are exposed to a lot of stuff, so even if it's not perfectly clean, they'll (probably) be fine...
I can buy and drink milk from that very morning. I can check out the farm and see the cow(s) the milk comes from. It's more natural, and many people are into that.
Sometimes, its best to let nature do what nature does. It will leave the best of us to procreate
avian flu has a 50% mortality rate in humans
Happy cake day!
Nobody is doing this
Please don’t dissuade those trying this. It is survival of the fittest at its finest. Let them just do it.
Nah, go ahead fam. We need some Darwinian thinning.
Are you talking about Kefir?? Sold In all Grocery stores?
Reminds me of that raw water fad about a decade ago.

There is nothing wrong with raw milk. Drinking cows milk existed before these sterilization techniques. I don't know why people would be worried about trying to get bird flu antibodies.
And life expectancy was 20 years too. Let's not try to go back to the old days.
No, it wasn't. The AVERAGE lifespan was maybe mid 40s LOOOOONG ago, but that's because of high infant mortality rates. All those deaths of kids less than a year old really skewed the average lower. Raw milk, while not being the best thing for keeping infections down, was likely only a very minor factor in health problems.
Farce
I love raw cows milk but I'm not interested in it being infected.
How about I just try not to get bird flu. You know, washing my hands regularly, keeping my distance from people that seem generally unwell. You know, things that are in my rights to choose to do.
How'd that go with COVID?
Pretty good. I worked the entire time. Still alive and so is all of my immediate family. Was vaccinated with a couple boosters. The Covid toe was the worst of any of my symptoms. Never tested positive, even when I had the sniffles and my SO was full blown.
You were lucky. This wan’t the case for a lot of people.
Obviously, its called natural selection.
The point is contagious diseases spread. Wishing a contagious illness on folks acting like fools means wishing for the spread of that illness through the rest of the population as well.
Umm I believe problem is most people don't have access directly to farm, so there is chance that it spoils on the way. Or r u saying 100 years of science is saying don't drink raw milk
I'm saying, in part, please don't fucking try to infect yourself with a new virus AFTER EVERYTHING WE WENT THROUGH WITH COVID & THE WORLD IS ENOUGH OF A SHITSHOW
Um ok
