Bird flu detected in raw milk sold in California, health officials say

Why do plagues surface every time Donald takes office? Strange that Christians ignore these signs.

“Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing but inwardly are ravenous wolves. You will recognize them by their fruits. Are grapes gathered from thornbushes, or figs from thistles? So, every healthy tree bears good fruit, but the diseased tree bears bad fruit.” ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭7‬:‭15‬-‭17‬
This verse pops into my mind when fellow "Christians" praise Trump. It saddens me that they are happy to help a crook and a rapist into power, all because "the Democrats are worse." Elect a more morally upstanding republican then! Why does it have to be THIS guy?
I question if they ever actually read the Bible with an open mind... after all, wasn't Satan the one to tempt Jesus with earthly political power? Even if Dems were worse, didn't Christ call us to love our enemies? They've completely lost the plot, and then wonder why the Western church is in decline.
Something something ... imperfect vessel.
- It's very that. Too many people here are like, "fundies OBVIOUSLY don't understand their own bible fwah fwah," when no, they totally do and they're actually really into all that End Times shit. Oceans warming up? Woo-hoo we're on our way to boiling! Another plague? Sweet! Another sign! Does this one have lesions? Christian Fundies have worked hard for their end times, doing their part to make the laws of god into the laws of man on earth.
  Our planet on fire is literally their best case scenario (and exactly why they can't be trusted in any kind of public office). They know who Trump is. The imperfect vessel or the antichrist - it's just another sign to check off the list. I wish I was being hyperbolic.
Well, no, it's because THE GLOBAL CABAL DEEP STATE IS AFTER HIM. CHRISTIANS ARE WASHED IN THE BLOOD, GOOD LUCK TO YOU SHEEP
Because, due to their logic destroying upbringing and reinforcement in adult social settings, they have perfected the ability to explain away every obvious, inconvenient fact within the framework of a network of conspiracy theories utilizing magical thinking that they invent or adapt on the fly to justify themselves never being fundamentally wrong or ignorant.
People seem to either be forgetting or just not be aware that Q Anon did not die.
It morphed into a conspiracy infused, new form of Christian fundamentalism, where Donald Trump is literally a messianic figure doing God's will. He was prophecied by modern prophet/preachers, and if any of their prophecies were erroneous, that is because literal demons intervened on Earth, and a supernatural battle is currently taking place on Earth.

Maybe 'raw milk' shouldn't be-

Oh, nevermind, we're going to have RFK in charge of public health now, it's a lost cause

I hadn't heard of this. I was shocked to find out that unpasteurised milk could be sold to begin with, didn't expect a second shock in the comments. Think I'm going to go back to just not touching social media for a while.
- I'm surprised it can be sold in stores alongside regular milk. Raw milk doesn't last long because of the lack of pasteurization, the logistics of constant replacement due to the lack of shelf time is insane. There's no way places can be making money simply due to product loss as it goes bad before being sold.
  Unless the farms selling it to the stores are lying about expiration dates due to lack of adequate regulations.
In the beginning of bird flu, the instances called for only using treated milk. As a counter reaction, the sale of raw milk went up. Rationality went out the window some time ago.
- These are the same geniuses who went from chicken pox to covid “parties” for the express purpose of infecting everyone, this country has always been filled with reactionary ignorant asshats.
Not only will the milk be raw, but there will also be no vaccines. The next pandemic is going to be such a hoot.
- I'll go set up a webshop for ivermectin. It's going to be crazy again.
- Nah, this will just cull us before the next pandemic
Shouldn’t be what? Whasamatta? Worm got your brain?
Is there even any benefit whatsoever to raw milk over pasteurized?
- There's probably a small loss of some nutrients (the heat breaks some chemical bonds). The benefit would probably be somewhere between negligible and marginal before you factor in the risk of food poisoning.

I'm 100% for raw milk. I hope some one is setting up a centralized nation wide distribution ready to go live the second it's legal, and I hope everyone who wants it can get it at the same time before any news can spread.

I see what you did there. Let everyone go buy it and consume it before learning it could be contaminated. Nice try, Satan.
- Fresh, never frozen
I'm 100% against needless cruelty, violence, and atrocity against innocent, harmless individuals.
- Harmless?
Don't worry. All news is fake news now.
Bottoms up, motherfuckers.

Make sure RFK Jr drinks the entire jug of Bird Flu milk.

Louis Pasteur worked in his lab for a very good reason. Must we go back to the 1800s?

Rightwingers don't believe in any problem until it directly affects them. They won't understand why we have modern medicine and health regulations until they personally feel the effects of having taken it all away. And even then many of them still won't.
When men were men, women were property, black people were property, Irish people were black people, and we had just curb stomped our first country full of brown people.
A man could just pick up and go to a new town and call himself a doctor, sell some random bullshit to whoever, and leave before the consequences could catch up to him.
That seems to be the end goal...
You've got to remember that these are just simple farmers. These are people of the land. The common clay of the new West. You know. Morons.

Do not drink raw milk it is a terrible idea.

"Just because you said that, I'm gonna drink raw milk even harder now. Get owned, nerd." Or something along those lines.
- ... things people actually say unironically to vegans
Just if you listen to doctors. Pshaw, what do they know?

If only this could have been prevented \s

It comes as California has reported 29 confirmed human cases of bird flu since early October, primarily stemming from cows, according to CDPH. Of those cases, 28 had direct contact with infected cows, all cases had mild symptoms that were primarily eye infections, and none required hospitalization.

"No person-to-person spread of bird flu has been detected in California or the U.S [yet!!]," the news release said.

Emphasis is mine, but pink eye for everyone sounds like it's going to be amazing. An anti-vaccine Health Department seems like the perfect sequel to the COVID ball drop/denial of the first admin.

Rampant infectious disease, tariffs, and mismanagement on everything are exactly the changes needed to help every American. /s

Bird flu discovered in aged cheddar...

Don't drink the bird milk

Monsiuer Pasteur is rolling in his grave

Must not had given it enough sunshine and exercise first.

I thought filtering got rid of bacteria. TIL

A bacterium like E. coli is about 1000nm wide and 2000-6000nm long. Influenza viruses are 80-120nm in size.

Hey, they know what they’re drinking, it’s all natural and they have an immune system!
