The institute's founder, Mark McAfee, told the Los Angeles Times this weekend that his customers are, in fact, specifically requesting raw milk from #H5N1-infected #cows. According to McAfee, his customers believe, without evidence, that directly drinking high levels of the #avianinfluenza#virus will give them immunity to the deadly pathogen
@dancingdogs This may not be a popular take, but if these people want to get themselves sick with a high mortality disease, I say let them. There are plenty of humans in the world, and if the virus is going to mutate to infect us (which it very likely will) at some point, we might as well get rid of some of the stupidest of us up front. There, I said it.
@VirginiaHolloway The cats that died, had a very nasty time. They did drink raw milk…but it could be other modes of transmission. i guess we’ll find out soon enough as they further investigate.
