Essentially, for Republicans, it seems like avoiding raw milk is the new masking — and they’re just not going to do it in order to prove a point.
For instance, in April, Infowars host Owen Shroyer called the Food and Drug Administration a “gangster mafia” who wanted to “make raw milk illegal.”
“So, now that more people are going to local farms and farmers markets and consuming raw milk, this angers the FDA,” Shroyer said. “This angers Big Milk. Say, ‘No, you need to pasteurize milk, it’s a lot less healthy for you.’ See, eventually, they’ll just make it illegal. They’ll just make raw milk illegal. That’s what this is all about.”
Not that different from attacking masks and vaccines, is it?
Really, it’s very different. Avian flu is estimated to be more deadly, and also less contagious among humans. Covid was most dangerous to the sick and the old, as well as first responders and medical professionals.
In other words, the people who were careless about Covid19 precautions were not the people who suffered the most.
With Avian flu, and really anything else you might get from contaminated milk, the person who will suffer is the person who is being careless.
So if Conservatives want to ignore the best advice of smart people and drink poison, I’m not going to lose any sleep over it. I feel really bad for their children, of course, but I can’t stop them from where I’m sitting.
The best thing you can do to help their children is ensuring that public education continues to be funded and safe for all children

It’s worse than that, because if you warn them that their stupidity is dangerous to them and their family, they will dig in their heels and want to do it even more. They are intransigently stupid.
I thought there were measurable differences in how many t-rumpians died vs. normal Americans?
There is some correlation between political affiliation and community death rates, especially as it relates to attitudes towards vaccinations.
But that doesn’t mean the anti-vaxxers are the ones who suffer. It means the communities where anti-vaxxers live suffer. That’s not the same thing at all.
We know how Covid works. We know how viruses work in general. Every infection is an opportunity for mutation, and every unvaccinated person increases the risk for the entire community.
A young, healthy individual has a relatively low risk of dying from COVID19. They should still get the vaccine, and take precautions against transmissions, because every infection is an opportunity for mutation, and every unvaccinated person increases the risk for the entire community.
I’ve heard from so many morons, “it’s just the flu, it’s no big deal, it’s not worth the inconvenience.” And they’re probably right, for them. But it’s far worse than the flu, it is a big deal, and the minor inconvenience of wearing a mask or getting vaccinated is nothing compared to the lives it would have saved if we had mandated these basic things.
Regarding drinking poison. Some of them were attempting to take horse dewormer, and their moron in chief suggested injecting bleach annd internal UV sterilization.
To be fair it turned out RFK Jr might have needed de-worming.
But yes, at least this time it’s less risky to the rest of us, though the less human cases, the lower the odds of bird flue evolving to inter-human transmission.
Cool,I can get behind more dead Republicans
