      And then they become incubators for new zoonotic diseases and kickoff the next global pandemic. What could possibly go wrong.

      My kid heard it enough that he believed. Hopefully he sees my answer of “any benefits will also be in whole milk but without the Oregon trail ending “you have died of dysentery”

    If only there was long held scientific understanding of the health risks of raw milk, and the benefits of pasteurization. What a wonderful world that would be.

      I mean it only comes out of the warm teet of a barnyard animal, what’s the worst that could happen?

      Why bother sterilizing the milk before you drink it? In fact, I’ve heard raw milk doesn’t even need to be refrigerated because of all the beneficial bacteria it’s got (hard /S, btw)

      You know what’s strange, though? My 7th grade science teacher used to preach to the class about how he and his wife were getting into drinking raw milk and how it’s supposedly so much better for you. So… if that’s any indication what kind of county I grew up in…

      That was back in the late aughts when dubya was still in office, too. So it’s not like it was just a case of the RFK jr. brainworm…

        Yeah, the stupid people have always been here- the difference today is they wear it like a badge of honor rather than bite their tongue.

    I bet their Facebook profile pictures had “I Have An Immune System” on them during the pandemic.

      God I hate that smug bullshit. I still hear them say it even now.

      I personally know some dumbfucks that are proud that they didn’t get “the jab”.

      So fucking stupid.

    This is the dumbest headline ever.

    Same with all the measles outbreaks and all the AntiVa/AntiMa Karens during Covid. I swear, some people seem hellbent on self-harm. It’d be one thing if it was only themselves they were harming.

      We built a world so safe and so protected that the “edgy rebellioius” thing to do is abandon all of that and sound trendy it seems.

        I’d bet many of these assholes were the ones that sat in school and grumbled about how they have “street smarts” and school wasn’t practical and was about “book smarts” and it was a huge waste of their time because of what daddy and mommy already told them about the world.

        Never getting equipped to understand how the world really works, how to distinguish sense from nonsense, how science works, and how to spot logical fallacies.

        Some of them may have even stumbled their way through higher education, but missed out on really learning anything other than being able to (barely) do a job.

        Now “doing their own research” via streamers, social media posts, random sites from influencers, etc…

          This is right wing Idaho… many of these folks haven’t sat in a school for a day in their life. They were “home schooled” or went to a cultist religious school. The government distrust runs so deep that a bunch of them likely were born in their own home, never saw a doctor, never had a vaccination, and don’t legally exist on paper.

          I’m not saying they don’t have any responsibility for their actions… but if you consider the environment they have been immersed in… they don’t really stand a chance.

          Yeah those are the people you see on Facebook who list “school of hard knocks” as their education background. Its typically some middle aged, divorced white guy wearing black Oakleys in his profile pic.

          And NOW we have graduating classes who don’t even understand the absolute basics of their field because they slid through by leaning on AI! Hooray!trails off grumbling about how fucked we are
