When H5N1 avian influenza started spreading among dairy cattle across the U.S. this year, regulators warned against consuming unpasteurized milk. What happened? Raw milk sales went up.
Distributors of this unsafe-for-human-consumption product deny H5N1—which has the potential to sicken millions of people—is a danger. Dairy farmers decline to allow disease detectives onto their properties.
It’s feeling like humans as a species are pushing for our own demise. Why would raw milk sales possibly increase unless we’ve just thrown in the towel on survival. It’s playing the I’m-not-touching-you game with a possible new pandemic.
It’s spoiled shits who are detached from reality who, when told not to do something, race to do as much of that thing as possible because they have no hobbies and a damaged ego.
Reminds me of the whole aids denialism movement, but potentially more deadly this time
