Pasteurization doing its job.
Louis Pasteur wasn't messing around.
and then there was Leroy Brown
All those downtown ladies call him "Treetop Lover"
All the men just call him "Sir"
Meaner than a junkyard dog?
I hear that Louis Pasteur is working on a vaccine that will obliterate anthrax once and for all.
There's a certain crowd of people who are absolutely determined to consume raw milk. You can't get it across state lines, because the FDA bans it, but some states permit it internally.
This might cause some states to stop that.

Especially if the raw milk fans catch it and then start spreading it to other people.
EDIT: Looks like the FDA has commented on it.

My state's dumbass legislators, ladies and gentlemen: https://mashable.com/article/raw-milk-sick-lawmakers
Please be the story of the congressfolk that legalized raw milk, celebrated by drinking raw milk, and all got sick as a result...
Fuck yeah.
You got it! lol
If Cleetus McNumbnuts becomes Patient Zero in another global pandemic, this time with a mortality rate of over 50%, it won't be something to cheer about.

Meanwhile, Cleetus has purchased his jug of active virus and is happily drinking it.
EDIT: Probably more like Cleetus giving said jug to his kids.

That does seem kind of tautological.
They are using "rule of law" to mean "whatever I want". Rest assured that if their child was sickened, they would sue immediately. And probably blame trans immigrants or something.
This bit from the article is amazing:
"There definitely shouldn't be a law against allowing people to do what they want within the framework of the rule of law," he said.
The raw milk people are wild to me, because raw milk is disgusting even without the bird flu, and they're so committed to it. The more people point out that it's gross and unsafe, the more they want it. Drinking pus to own the libs, I guess?
I will say I'm a huge fan of having it around for cooking.
It think its as good or better than pasteurized in a sauce, and then when it starts to sour, the coolest thing is I can separate it and turn the cream into butter and get buttermilk leftover.
I can then keep using both for cooking and baking.
I think raw milk has a place with understanding of what you are buying, but I don't know if other people are like me and actually just gulping it down.
I was going to express a similar sentiment: having the milk be unpasteurized can be an important difference when it's a base ingredient that's being further processed (e.g. to make fancy French-style cheese or something), but you're not really supposed to just straight-up drink the stuff.
Yeah, any DNA or RNA in there is going to be completely denatured because of the pasteurization. But that doesn't mean the physical components of the genes just goes away. It is made ineffective and harmless, but it serves as a useful measure on how many cows are infected.
But the cheese, the poor poor cheese.
