    I’m fairly certain, they just all got together to make a list of all the stupid things they could do to own the libs.

    The neat thing about this one, is that It only hurts the people that are going to follow him. The people who didn’t vote for that side know better.

        Get ready, there’s going to be a whole lot of peeling off the warning labels.

        I wonder, well they outright outlaw vaccines, or they just be privatized only…

          RFK’s version of the conspiracy is that vaccines are a scam inflicted by private pharma. Given his druthers, he would probably outlaw not just vaccines, but all corporation-produced medicine.

    Let’s see here, RFK wants to ban vaccines and promote raw milk.
    There is currently a bird flu epidemic in dairy cattle from bird droppings getting into the feed.
    Consuming raw milk is one of the few ways humans can become infected with bird flu.
    I’m sure this will be fine and the virus won’t mutate to allow for human to human transfer, it if it does luckily it only has a 56% mortality rate compared to the Covid morality rate of ~4% during its peak.

    Raw milk is dangerous. When I was growing up people would get sick all the time from raw milk it gets contaminated all the time.

    If it didn’t risk spreading disease to everyone else, I would totally be on board with letting science deniers drink more raw milk

    Apart from the bird flu being really fucking dangerous raw milk is just a matter of being used to it. If you drink it your whole life it is really not a problem to drink it, as long as a proper hygiene is applied. However, aomeone who isn’t used to it might get sick from drinking it.

      Raw milk can contain dangerous bacteria like salmonella, E. coli, Listeria, Campylobacter, and others.

      Sounds yummy

        And that’s why I said as long as proper hygiene is being practised. This also includes separating the milk from sick cows.

        Also, to kind of prove my point: Every single farmer I know, that has cows, drinks the raw milk. Did they die or get sick? No. Does this mean that nobody will get sick? Also no.

          What’s the name of the cow you get your raw milk from?

          Do you get a veterinary report about her with every bottle of milk?

              Username checks out.

              Sadly the ‘factory farm’ dairy industry probably won’t follow the proper hygiene you’re referring to, and I’d imagine that the current administration would be more interested in reducing the regulations that would force proper hygiene than increase them.

                I can’t say anything about the hygienic standards for milk production in the US, but i absolutely agree with you, that under trump such laws will probably get weakened.

      If raw milk is as dangerous as some of the keyboard experts on here think then Louis Pasteur would never have been born - humans would’ve died out in Northern Europe long before.
