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

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

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

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.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

He's about to have the authority to effectively ban vaccines.

Yeah but y'know, you gotta have one very last last resort abortion method.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

They never will. Especially now that we've elected an authoritarian dictator who is hellbent on exacting retribution on anyone who may have slighted him.

And that includes literally just reporting objective reality. They might jail or execute one or two journalists to send a message, but they'll fall in line.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 day ago

experts say it's dangerous

Then just get rid of them. Simple.

I believe you can get brain worms from raw milk.

[–] [email protected] 34 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (2 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 day ago

Yeah but we're talking about stupid people. In their brains they're probably convinced that milk is not heat treated to kill pathogens but because of government population control or something.

This is a situation where we let Darwinism take it's course. The people who are stupid enough to listen to this are going to drink it, get sick, and then wonder what happened. Maybe I'm more negative than usual, but fuck em. Let them fuck themselves.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 day ago

They're going to kill out kids, not just their kids and themselves. RFK Jr is a plague rat.

Yeah but before they pass, they're gonna drain money from the failing health care system, which hurts everyone more than we are

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 day ago

They'll cut funding for real medicine, and funnel a small amount of money to homeopaths and faith healers as a consolation prize.

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.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 12 hours ago

Actually...

I think that of democracy will ever return to the US, current news outlets in the US should all go on the cutting block

Fuck the 24 hour news cycle where "journalists" all hunt around like creeps to get that latest story because we gotta broadcast something in those 24 hours... Let's broadcast any and all crime, making people feel unsafe. That'll get us more clicks!

News should be paid by an independent, neutral government organization that will finance actual journalism. The results from said journalism will be available on a number of sites, and maybe a Humber of TV channels at limited hours, like ut used to be in the past. News organizations should not and can not be owned by individuals, it WILL be abused. Laws must be enacted to require news to be truthful and anything even remotely pretending to be news should be limited by those laws. Mistakes can be made and when that happens, retractionsust be broadcasted or made available in websites with the same intensity as the mistake that was broadcasted

The US needs news sources that they can trust in because say what you want about magas, they're right in that the main stream media in the US is utter shit and cannot be trusted. It's just that they are wrong about what sources are bad. They're all bad, but their sources, fox news, oan, etc, are the worst by factors...

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago

This should have happened after the 2020 election, but the news thrives on clicks and outrage, so they keep giving him attention and fucked us all for the sweet sweet revenue.

We are past this though. I remember screaming this into the air at the radio listening to Jack Speer on NPR in 2016. He was going on and on about the awful things Trump was saying and how we shouldn't be hearing this. I screamed then why the fuck do you keep repeating it Jack, why?!? I blame the media 100% for his election in 2016, all that free publicity. 2024 though...I really don't have any answers...

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.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

He's going to be in a position where he may actually be able to ban pasteurized milk, vaccines, and more.

This is the most dangerous political appointment in US history.

Gatez was involved in drug fueled child prostitution, wasn't he?

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.

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.

[–] [email protected] 104 points 2 days ago (3 children)

RFK is secretly a flu virus wearing a human suit.

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.

Edit based on comments below: The context of this thread is concerning hi path AI. I should have been more clear. I am referring to dairy farms where the cows have hi path AI and the cats drink raw milk.

However it is impossible to tell if your raw milk is infected with hi path AI, so to the readers of this who are really in to drinking raw milk, I wish you luck.

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.

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

[–] [email protected] 28 points 2 days ago (11 children)

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 💯👍.

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.

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.
