The lone claim that holds up is that raw milk tastes better, something that’s obviously a matter of taste. And that’s a really stupid reason to get very, very sick—to say nothing about potentially kicking off a brand new human-centered pandemic that could kill half of everyone infected with it.

The rest of the world needs to enforce a travel ban on all USAmericans

Build the wall (to keep them in)

[–] nothx@hexbear.net 34 points 4 months ago (1 children)

As a resident of the US, I am starting to agree.

[–] Ocommie63@lemmygrad.ml 31 points 4 months ago (1 children)

As a resident, just now starting?!?!?!

[–] nothx@hexbear.net 34 points 4 months ago (1 children)

My American exceptionalism has clouded my judgement for far to long.

THIS IS WHAT THE REEDUCATION CAMPS SHOULD BE FOR

[–] DyingOfDeBordom@hexbear.net 33 points 4 months ago

Pretty sure for most people it'd be an education camp

[–] dkr567@hexbear.net 35 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago) (2 children)

We need to put like a massive dome around US to fully quarantine them from rest of the world because there is something seriously wrong with most of the country+inhabitants.

Do like anglos do with pets: quarantine on arrival¹

Isn't unpasteurized milk illegal?

[–] happybadger@hexbear.net 31 points 4 months ago (1 children)

At least in Colorado it's illegal to buy from a dairy but legal to drink from your own cow. Problem solved, right?

So anyway the dairies that sell raw milk will sell you a "share" of a "cow" which then entitles you to X amount of raw milk per week with no regulation. Technically you're just a homesteader suckling the family cow instead of buying milk from a normal industrial-sized dairy next to all of the other industrial-sized dairies.

The market provides yet again, checkmate liberals

[–] happybadger@hexbear.net 23 points 4 months ago

What market? It's just parking your family cow next to hundreds of others eating chicken shit at the industrial dairy in cattle country, surrounded by poultry farms and wild animal populations. You own one of its legs so it's fine if you drink its disease milk like a magic potion to ward off evil spirits.

During the last outbreak Colorado had the first national case of human transmission. On the poultry farms making the infectious chicken shit for the dairy cows to eat, if a wild bird lands next to the flock they're immediately infected. Any infection means the whole flock is culled. Being a good progressive democratic stronghold, we of course used prison slaves from the prisons ravaged by COVID and other various health issues they don't get adequate treatment for. One of those prison slaves digging the mass graves for the chickens caught bird flu from wading through the sea of infectious corpses, then brought it back to all of his immunocompromised cellmates where it didn't mutate enough to spread to them that time.

I imagine the culling procedures will work the same on cattle farms around here. The entire colonial project in this area was exterminating the natives to give their land to cattle ranchers, so that's a cornerstone of much of the regional land distribution and economy. Those areas are the most reactionary and had the worst COVID responses, including firing the health official of the town with the main slaughterhouse for trying to acknowledge that COVID exists while threatening to secede from the state if the milquetoast liberal governor enforced the stay-at-home order.

Looks like this owl hates fReEdOm frothingfash

[–] Dirt_Owl@hexbear.net 28 points 4 months ago (2 children)

I love freedom I am free from disease. I've never even caught COVID 🙂

[–] Ram_The_Manparts@hexbear.net 18 points 4 months ago

Well, what about the fReEdoM to catch COVID then? So much for the tolerant left! I thought this was Amurica!

Seriously though, I somehow never caught that shit either, we should count ourselves lucky

[–] Dessa@hexbear.net 15 points 4 months ago

Homestly, why would you even chase it in the first place?!

[–] Adkml@hexbear.net 16 points 4 months ago

Places are legalizing it to own the libs.

[–] regul@hexbear.net 8 points 4 months ago

you can buy it directly from farmers in Oregon

[–] Confound4082@lemmy.ml 3 points 4 months ago

Depends on the state

[–] ClimateChangeAnxiety@hexbear.net 2 points 4 months ago

Here it has to be marked “Not for human consumption” but for some reason can still be sold in grocery stores. It’s only in some weird nutty “health food” stores but it shouldn’t be fucking anywhere

[–] came_apart_at_Kmart@hexbear.net 27 points 4 months ago

unvaxxed, raw milk fueled loads - $5,000

Ameriflu incoming in 3... 2....

[–] citrussy_capybara@hexbear.net 32 points 4 months ago (1 children)

don’t get them started, amerikkkans will unironically start chanting “FLU-S-A! FLU-S-A!” like a badge of honour

[–] doleo@lemmy.one 22 points 4 months ago (1 children)

That is a hilarious thought! Then, they start calling it the "patriot virus" and martyring those that die in the name of 'freedom'.

[–] JohnBrownNote@hexbear.net 12 points 4 months ago

i feel like i've read that book

[–] TheDoctor@hexbear.net 20 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Here’s hoping the 60% fatality rate is the result of a selection bias because if not, the only thing protecting us is a lack of ability to spread in humans in the current mutation.

[–] DyingOfDeBordom@hexbear.net 10 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Oh yeah let's hope it's milder so it gets completely ignored but still kills millions

[–] TheDoctor@hexbear.net 11 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Do you think that it being more deadly would make people less prone to antivax nonsense?

[–] DyingOfDeBordom@hexbear.net 11 points 4 months ago (1 children)
[–] TheDoctor@hexbear.net 7 points 4 months ago

I hope you’re right

[–] Vampire@hexbear.net 19 points 4 months ago (3 children)

I drink raw milk from my farm literally every day. But from a centralised system like that, yeah, pass.

[–] ClimateChangeAnxiety@hexbear.net 20 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Bro don’t drink raw milk. Even from your own cows.

[–] ryepunk@hexbear.net 9 points 4 months ago

Fresh raw milk should be safe. It's when you let it cool that it immediately gets fucked up. How if his herd has been exposed to the h5n1 bird flu, I'd stop consuming that immediately.

[–] DEAD_YUCKY@hexbear.net 3 points 4 months ago

Y'KNOW, THIS MAKES SO MUCH SENSE

[–] ChaosMaterialist@hexbear.net 3 points 4 months ago

Do you even feed your cows bruh-moment Industry-Standard bruh-moment chicken shit as part of a balanced breakfast like a true Patriot?!?! frothingfash

[–] LaughingLion@hexbear.net 11 points 4 months ago

ah, raising the odds of the disease transferring to humans

if this happens i will forever call it the american flu
