    The California-based Raw Milk Institute called the warnings “clearly fearmongering.” The institute’s founder, Mark McAfee, told the Los Angeles Times this weekend that his customers are, in fact, specifically requesting raw milk from H5N1-infected cows. According to McAfee, his customers believe, without evidence, that directly drinking high levels of the avian influenza virus will give them immunity to the deadly pathogen.

    By all means, drink up, morons, get the hell out of our gene pool, we’ve got enough troubles without your Dimwit DNA.

        Crazy. The zombie apocalypse started from people wanting to become infected.

          No one would watch that movie because it would be too dumb of a plot line.

            not if you had a cult leader and influencers and a media mogul all working together to push a narrative. People would buy that.

      It’ll only be a matter of time until the virus mutates and successfully transmits from human to human.

        I’ll still be safe. I don’t generally drink human milk.

          Believe it or not, human milk is almost exclusively consumed by humans.

              I don’t have an inside scoop, I just try not to speak in absolutes. It’s probably a safe bet that someone, somewhere, must have a story to tell.

                  A woman breast feeding two puppies while two Mexican peasants implore her to feed her baby.

                  Honestly, I get it.

                    Yeah, the fur babies are obviously much cuter and will grow out of their worst baby behaviors much faster than the skin puppy…

              I thought I saw something with kittens once, but I hope I’m remembering incorrectly. Don’t think I am though.

      It’s like the “facemasks are causing COVID-19” thing.

        To be fair to them, that is pretty close to how immunity actually works. Not quite there though.
