The latest far right fad is raw milk. Perhaps they regard Louis Pasteur as a woke socialist. Seriously, government health advisories about raw milk only make it more attractive to the conspiracy theory fringe.
Commentators on sites like Infowars, Gab and Rumble have grown increasingly vocal about raw milk in recent weeks. They see the government’s heightened concerns about the dangers as overreach. “They say: ‘Bird flu in milk! Bird flu in milk! Oh, it’s the scariest thing!’” Owen Shroyer said on the April 29 episode of his “War Room” podcast from Infowars. He added: “They’ll just make raw milk illegal. That’s what this is all about.” Public health officials have long warned Americans of the severe health risks that can come with drinking raw milk instead of pasteurized milk, which is heated to kill bacteria, viruses and other germs. Researchers at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found more than 200 disease outbreaks linked to unpasteurized milk from 1998 to 2018, leading to 2,645 illnesses, 228 hospitalizations and three deaths.
The far right, including anti-vaxxers, seems to have an affinity for pathogens. Either that or they feel that pathogens don't really exist and perhaps were made up by Hillary Clinton and George Soros. Whatever they think, don't expect them to make sense.
Contrary to claims, there’s little or no evidence that drinking raw milk provides health benefits, including protection from certain infectious diseases, said Dr. Megin Nichols, the deputy director of the Division of Foodborne, Waterborne and Environmental Diseases at the C.D.C. The Food and Drug Administration says pasteurizing milk kills the virus. The F.D.A. said in a statement that there are no scientifically proven benefits to drinking raw milk and that “the health risks are clear.”
Epidemics get rightwingers agitated. The latest bird flu outbreak has them acting like mad cows.
Matt Gertz, a senior fellow at Media Matters, a left-leaning watchdog that looked at the trend this month, said raw milk promotion had been intensifying on the right since the start of the bird flu outbreak. “What you have is a bunch of right-wing influencers who know that they can build substantial audiences and retain their audiences and excite their audiences by telling them that what medical authorities are saying about raw milk, about bird flu, is not credible,” Mr. Gertz said.
Basically the wingnuts are telling people: Don't trust science, trust Infowars instead! Paranoia is good for clicks.
As for bird flu, there is clear evidence of it being easily transmissible between mammals.
After mice drink raw H5N1 milk, bird flu virus riddles their organs
Despite the delusions of the raw milk crowd, drinking unpasteurized milk brimming with infectious avian H5N1 influenza virus is a very bad idea, according to freshly squeezed data published Friday in the New England Journal of Medicine. Researchers at the University of Wisconsin-Madison squirted raw H5N1-containing milk from infected cows into the throats of anesthetized laboratory mice, finding that the virus caused systemic infections after the mice were observed swallowing the dose. The illnesses began quickly, with symptoms of lethargy and ruffled fur starting on day 1. [ ... ] Before the mouse data, numerous reports have noted carnivores falling ill with H5N1 after eating infected wild birds. And a study from March in the journal Emerging Infectious Diseases reported that over half of the 24 or so cats on an H5N1-infected dairy farm in Texas died after drinking raw milk from the sick cows. Before their deaths, the cats displayed distressing neurological symptoms, and studies found the virus had invaded their lungs, brains, hearts, and eyes.
So we have bovines, rodents, and felines all being infected by H5N1. Several primates (i.e. humans) have also been infected. But generally, humans whose health practices are influenced by the germ theory of infection stand a darn good chance of avoiding it.
Fortunately, for the bulk of Americans who heed germ theory, pasteurization appears completely effective at deactivating the virus in milk, according to thorough testing by the FDA. Pasteurized milk is considered safe during the outbreak.
As with 17th century patriarchy and religious practices, the fringe right seems eager to return to the medical dark ages before germ theory and vaccination. In the century between 1870 and 1970 life expectancy almost doubled because of related discoveries. The far right seems to have some sort of death wish.

~opens a beer while feeding the sourdough starter~
"Whoops sorry buddy that was rude of me"
~pours a few drops into the starter so it can have some as well~
#the beer is unpasteurized local beer with lots of fancy yeasts#idk if this is doing any good but it certainly hasn't done any bad in the past three years#sometimes you just gotta do a tiny ritual sacrifice ¯\_(ツ)_/¯#bread#baking#food

Ya'll seen the people on TikTok saying that you should ingest borax because it has health benefits that the government is hiding from you?
. . .One time for my birthday, we were going to go to an art museum I like but it turned out to be closed. Instead we went to a local historical Victorian mansion and as my birthday is two days before Halloween, they had a Victorian funeral rites tour going on where they also discussed common ways people died. I remember when we entered the nursery, they told us about how they'd put borax in milk to lengthen the shelf life. . .
Anyways, I used to get ants in my bedroom a lot over the summer no matter how clean it was. I would mix honey with borax and that'd get rid of a lot of the critters. I also throw some in the machine when I'm washing my white lace curtains because I live in a really dusty area. Strips the stains right off.
#Why is it always ''THE GOVERNMENT DOESN'T WANT YOU TO KNOW!!!'' with these people?#Idk about you guys but I don't take my nutritional advice from sunburnt men who don't wear shoes or shirts in the grocery store.#Or white women with dreadlocks who give their toddlers those amber teething necklaces and unpasteurized milk.#zombert.txt

I remember the days when my mother would spew out her nonsense to me and it always made no sense.

The racism perpetuates the double standard.

I DO NOT understand all these people who just chug raw eggs daily without a worry in the world. Ever since I was a tiny little baby I got it drilled into my head to never even as much as touch the eggshell without washing my hands with soap afterwards unless I wanna get infected with salmonella. And I did once get sick with salmonella at age 4-ish after eating some storebought ice cream with egg ingredients in it. I was also riddled with chickenpox in elementary. And went to the hospital for a week or two for dehydration sometime before that but lost all memory of why I just woke up in the hospital one day and went "oh ok can u deliver me my touys tomorrow cc:". Also I got sent to some weird mystery facility in the woods for some mystery reason also as a child but have no memory of that other than kicking the nurse when I was getting my shots and the fact that I know it happened and it was weird and even while it was ongoing I could not recollect anything that was happening at the time. I was an unfortunate frail child alright

Bird Flu Testing in Dairy: USDA's New Strategy to Prevent Infection
In this post I shared information about efforts to contain the spread of bird flu. Public health monitoring indicates the risk to most of us is low, but one death from avian influence has been confirmed. As we learned a few years ago, infectious diseases can be unpredictable.
Birds, just like people, can get the flu. Another name for bird flu is avian influenza. The viruses that cause bird flu normally only infect birds, including chickens, other poultry, and wild birds such as ducks. Bird flu can also infect many other animals, including dogs, cats, certain wild and zoo animals, and livestock such as cattle. Although this is rare, these animals can then spread the…
