    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.

      In the US, right now, the dairy farms where they let the cats drink raw milk saw half their cats die.

      This is an actual thing.

      RFK is secretly a flu virus wearing a human suit.

      On the plus side the high mortality rate should lower the spread.

        True, but on the minus side, dumb people actively seeking out the infected milk would artificially increase the instances and thus the spread.

          But on the plus side, dumb people actively infect themselves and get removed from the gene pool.
