RFK Jr wants to promote raw milk as HHS secretary – experts say it’s dangerous

The fact that will even entertain this and other anti-scientific consensus bullshit in the conversation is the poison in the well.

looks like Lysteria is back on the menu bois also Louis Pasteur rolling in his grave rn

I believe you can get brain worms from raw milk.

Let's get back to the good old days from the 1700 where we would all die of dysentery!

Can we please make a rule in that stupid US constitution that says that claims from politicians have to be supported by actual peer reviewed scientific evidence before they can utter said claim?

It would make the difference of light and day already

Wait, so Trump was actually serious about this, and not just baiting him for election support? Like, seriously?

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.

trump's appointments are in the style "Who is the worst person i know for the job that lives inside my colon?"

the guy responsible for the death of 83 Samoans has more health advice …

Oh god he’s gonna kill someone

Try listening to the Behind The Bastards podcast about this guy if you can spare the time.

He is messed up far more than you think.

Raw milk is dangerous. When I was growing up people would get sick all the time from raw milk it gets contaminated all the time.

I'm fairly certain, they just all got together to make a list of all the stupid things they could do to own the libs.

The neat thing about this one, is that It only hurts the people that are going to follow him. The people who didn't vote for that side know better.

I think everyone is making way too much out of this. What could possibly go wr-

Oh.

This is the dumbest shit I swear to god. Fuck this timeline already.

If I and my friends and family could be certain of getting immunized against the inevitable H5N1 pandemic, this wouldn't bother me so much. But RFK jr. will combat the flu with honey and whole grains and the death toll will make Covid look like a cold. Thinning the herd. Maybe we'll get lucky and RFK jr & Trump and his true believers will get it first.

How do you fail to ask yourself why it was pasteurized in the first place?

Trump wants the population to be closer to 100 million. He said that before the start of one of his press conferences to a journalist ... something to the effect that "we could use 2/3 less of all of you."

He is willing to kill off a lot of us to make his life easier. The USA elected a right wing Pol Pot.

With any luck MAGAts will self-select in removing themselves like they did during COVID.

Today's Republican Party didn't get into their position of awesome power by listening to experts....

Raw milk is totally safe....if the cow is totally healthy and if there aren't pathogens floating around the cow.

I mean, my friend next door used to drink off the cows's teats. His Mom would scold him for it, but he did it to show off. We used to milk their three "city cows". Literally the cows would sleep in their garage and then walk to pasture on an every day basis. They would get milked every morning and we would walk to their house and buy a couple of liters from them. Sometimes cheese or bulgaros yogurt.

Everyone loved the cows. They smelled like cows but you could safely pet them and not expect feces on your hands.

The cows we get milk from are all rolling around in feces in confined space and they eat dry moldy feed. Like that stuff is total animal abuse and prone to end up giving someone a cow Bourne disease of some kind.

My neighbors also had pigs and we had pigs. That is why we never ate pig... cows are clean compared to pigs. Pigs will eat bugs smeared in pig feces. That is not normal really because pigs in the wild, although dirty, do not just swim in their feces like captive pigs do. If you ever want to go vegan for whatever reason, visit a captive pig farm. Learn that smell....then go to the butcher shop's trash bin and learn that smell...then realize that when you get your meat in your fridge, the death smell is what you're smelling. Makes me wanna puke 🤮 just thinking about it. And if your neighbors ever killed a pig, you would know it. Pigs don't go down easy. That's one positive thing I can definitely say about pigs. They know you're gonna kill them and they scream like anyone would....as in a person. It churns you inside out hearing that scream and then when it stops you know it happened. Pigs don't go down quietly.

Anyway don't eat animals, but if you're gonna eat milk or dairy, make sure it's pasteurized! Any well understood retarded person like myself could agree 💯👍.

Go ahead. Let your anti science cultists get themselves sick. I don't fucking care anymore.

It feels like we're living in the middle of one of those cultist documentaries, where 29 years from now the stupid fucks that survive are going to be on camera going "I know it sounds weird, but it was really compelling at the time". Except this cult doesn't even have fun drug fueled orgies.

Newspapers need to just call RFK jr what he is - a child killer. Forget about this raw milk stuff and lay out the direct harm he has caused including deaths of babies from his vaccine misinformation.

I just hope they have the raw milk distribution set up to go live nationwide at the same time. I want all the people excited for this to get it, and enjoy it for as long as possible before the news gets to them.

In 2025, how many children will die from raw milk?

If it didn't risk spreading disease to everyone else, I would totally be on board with letting science deniers drink more raw milk

By experts, do they mean anyone that paid attention to science and/or history classes in any developed country?

It's such a shame that so many of his health propositions have small bits of truth associated with them, yet because he lacks the true in depth look at a given topic he falls short of an overall good view. Listening to him talk about scientific research on Rogan was fucking excruciating.

They are gonna make ignoring the government main stream.

Raw milk and raw dogging porn stars

Politician life

experts say it's dangerous

Then just get rid of them. Simple.

Alex Jones will now be replaced by this idiot fuckwad. Buckle up for the crazy!

Dumb af is what it is.

I wanna say yay Darwin will save the day but I'm too afraid of intentional sabotage on pasteurized milk.

I drank raw milk visiting my in-laws farm. Not my favorite, but their are some risks.

It's also stupid expensive.

We should stop posting about Trump and his group of extraordinary morons.

The news cycle thrives on Trump, as every decision he makes manages to anger half the population, while the other half cheers him on simply to annoy liberals and progressives. This dynamic generates more clicks and ad revenue for news outlets, allowing Trump to continue making foolish decisions just to remain in the spotlight.

The only way to change this is to stop giving him space in the news.

It's the brain parasite that lives in raw milk saying that.

At least it isn't a contagion no? Like it's only the ones who drink it raw who are at risk. If so, have at it conservatives, drink all the bleach and raw milk you want

If they allow non-prescription antibiotic use too, and gut Federal law requiring quarantine, that's a great way to get resistant strains of tuberculosis.

And so the dumbfuckery begins. Long as its just recommendations he can continue to be the clown of the court

What I'm reading is that they want to foster the greatest source of bankruptcies in the US, healthcare costs, while lowering the living standards to turn the US into a "third world shithole country". For added irony, while also having an oligarch who had to migrate away from his home country for contributing to do the same in their birth country and not being able to reap what they sowed, just to end up doing the same in their new country.

The People's CDC, much like the factory, must grow.

WTF is going on in this thread? Are milkies the new tankies?

It's delicious! Give you diarrhea sometimes though.

never hear about this being his fault

see it on the shelf

Cool, I might make cheese. When did they start carrying this!?

Maybe I’m remembering wrong, but wasn’t there a Portlandia sketch about why raw milk is bad?

Well, as long as only their terminally stupid follow these ideas, well, let them.

Thanksgiving 2026

You ain't drinking that homo milk are ya?

"Beg your pardon?"

2028 just got easier

I say let him do it. Let him fuck around for a month.

I mean, I think people should be able to make an informed choice to drink raw milk if they want. In my state it’s straight up illegal.

Edit: so people can drink alcohol or smoke weed, but raw milk is a bridge too far?

As always with these headlines, it's best to not fall for extremes and rage bait. Not all milk has to be homogenized. And if the supply is near, as in you can buy it from a small farm that has cows grazing, raw is fine.

Europe had this figured out forever. Not sure why you need brain worm guy to lay the smack down on stupid rules in North America.

And yet the Amish are healthier than just about anyone. I've had the pleasure of having raw milk upon staying overnight with a friend who owned a cow, and it's vastly different than the chalk died piss water they sell in the grocery store. And I survived!

By doing this, he is pushing more people to consume plant based milk to help the planet. It’s actually big brain of him.

E: lmao

Apart from the bird flu being really fucking dangerous raw milk is just a matter of being used to it. If you drink it your whole life it is really not a problem to drink it, as long as a proper hygiene is applied. However, aomeone who isn't used to it might get sick from drinking it.
