They’re are essentially trying to catch the disease and spread it via misunderstood science. Their stupidity puts us all at risk. It’s the same reason as any other law - stupidity and ignorance is not an excuse to fuck over the rest of us.
Right. Raw milk is not pasteurized. Thats the whole point - they are drinking milk that has the live virus on purpose. Viruses can then spread from person to person. So while I wont drink unpasteurized milk, those who do will still put the rest of us at risk.
How many people have access to raw milk? I certainly don’t. All milk sold in the US is pasteurized.
As far as I am concerned this is just fear mongering. Which is par for the course because that is what the media does. They drum up hysteria and fear to gain viewer attention.
Hopefully not many, but this has been a thing for awhile before the whole bird flu problem. It’s a little weird, I cant say I understand why, but there’s been a movement of people fighting for their right to drink raw milk for awhile now. I think it’s normally a small group who circumvents the stores and goes straight to the source, so it goes mostly unnoticed, but this situation is putting them in the spotlight. So, yes and no. Agreed that the media is likely blowing it out of proportion, but it is definitely a thing in some areas.

Pasteurization kills viruses. So no. Not really.

That’s a false claim. It is state dependent. Many grocery stores and some butcher shops in my state also sells raw milk.
