Raw milk enthusiasts are dead set on being infected by the H5N1 aviary flu virus by drinking contaminated and unpasteurized cow milk.
Anti-science has gained too much traction in recent years, I doubt USA will survive if H5N1 starts spreading from human to human.
Covid has a mortality rate of about 3% while H5N1 has a mortality rate of about 56%.
If it starts spreading from person to person and it has an r value similar to Covid, we're fucked.
Probably not. If a virus is too deadly, it kills its hosts before it can spread. That's why SARS didn't turn into a pandemic.
Covid has a mortality rate of about 3%
hah great, makes the 1 in 50k risk of a certain vaccine's side effects even more ridiculous to think about
At this point, if they're asking for the scientifically specified strain of virus to be served to them, I'm not sure it sounds like "anti science" , more like "braggadocious risk taking"
Honestly a little bit of me is okay with that. I am just so tired of all the shit.
Same. I've been voting for "Giant Meteor" since 2016... It never wins though...
Goddamn old people voting in primaries never gives Giant Meteor a chance!
Have you considered joining the super volcano party? Their policies are really explosive.
The thing is, Giant Meteor policies can be implemented to encourage Super Volcano policies to naturally follow, satisfying both interests with just one party. They did it in the past and I believe they can do it again.
Us Super Volcanoins, remember that, we remember your promises around forming a coalition government. And then you know what you did you took all the credit for it. Everybody remembers last time the giant meteor party won and everything they did. Yet somehow they can never remember how the super volcano party helped you all out. We're not about to form a coalition government, not again.
Let me guess. These are the same people who refuse vaccines with miniscule mortality rates, but are demanding milk infected with a virus that has more than a 50% mortality rate in humans? 🤔
Also, how is intentional getting infected to aquire immunity better than doing nothing at all? I mean, just don't worry about it. If you get infected then you're either dead or immune, and if you don't get infected you didn't need that immunity anyway. Plus, you've saved money by not buying your weirdo raw cow juice.
These people show up on my Facebook, they just want the opposite of what the government says no matter what, often they imagine the government saying something just so they can do the opposite.
Ah yes, and just like in Corona days, a serious number of them then dies, and the remaining ones will cry “why is the government doing this to us?!”_
UC Davis researcher Michael Payne told the LA Times. "Deliberately trying to infect yourself with a known pathogen flies in the face of all medical knowledge and common sense."
I, too, remember when this was more of a bug and not necessarily a feature.
If we give these knuckleheads a bit more time they'll reinvent variolation 500 years late.
Wow. Terminally stupid. All while you can get immunity from pasteurized milk, just without the risk.
Can those people be put under observation for "suicide risk", please?
Won't work. Eventually, some asshole will fly a fleet ovet and demand you change how you live your life for "reasons".
Yeah, but if they end up contagious before kicking it then we could end up in another pandemic…
It was actually the 3rd plague if you count the black death as the first, Spanish flu as the second and covid as the 3rd
Technically of course The Black Death was not a pandemic, it was an epidemic. It's just people didn't really move around very much so they didn't notice.
It kept returning to Europe multiple times because the focal point of the disease would move somewhere else for a bit and then come back.
Okay, you can't just put the word enthusiast after things.
What the hell is a raw milk enthusiast!!!
So they take up precious hospital resources when their enthusiasm gets the terribly sick.
Great.
