    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.

    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.

      I’ve seen a documentary about the Jan 6th timeline and one insurrectionist said this in an interview. He couldn’t think anymore and everything about it seemed like the best thing since the invention of toast. He allegedly saw his errors in hindsight. I’m more than convinced he is back in the cult. Can’t fix stupid.

      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.

              A month of salmonella epidemic could, indeed, kill millions of children within a month. It can also continue long after that month is over even if the person who caused the damage is out of power.

              But let’s say we’re just talking about 5 children. That’s still ghoulish. I’m not sure why you’re not understanding that.

              Or do you think diseases spread by raw milk are aware of who they’re infecting and what age they are and know when to back off?

                Ok, let’s be realistic: only some dumbass company would try it and only some people would drink it and then a few would land in the hospital. There won’t be millions dead even in your wildest wet dreams because distribution its is controlled and people would prepare for it. Besides, people don’t usually pass on salmonellosis like airborne covid, and the mortality rate is way lower anyway.

                But let’s say we’re just talking about 5 children

                Why does it gotta be children, though? I didn’t think I’d see some peral clutching this early but here we are. lol Always with the damn children as if other people don’t exist. I can’t even begin to describe how hard I just rolled my eyes, I think I pulled several eye muscles reading that.

                That’s still ghoulish

                Not as ghoulish as all his other policies that would make actual millions suffer and thousands more die? Bet.

                Or do you think diseases spread by raw milk are aware of who they’re infecting

                Idk you tell me, you’re the one stuck with the Save the Children™ mentality.

                  Why children? Because they have nothing to do with American politics since they have no say in the matter, but you want them to be part of the collective punishment anyway.

                  This should be obvious to you.

                  Also, “I’m not as much of a ghoul as they are” is not the defense of yourself that you think it is.

                  And I don’t buy the “the horrible thing I just said was a joke” from you any more than I buy it when Trump makes the same claim.

    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.

        True, but on the minus side, dumb people actively seeking out the infected milk would artificially increase the instances and thus the spread.

                You still interact with other people in person, and one or more of them interacts with the public.

                If you learned nothing else from CoViD-19 I would hope you at least learned that you are only a couple degrees of separation from a hotbed of infection at most.

          I am more than a little confused.

          According to your article

          By March 20, over half of the farm’s 24 or so cats died from the flu.

          That is pretty much exactly what I said

          I learned about this at a CBRNE conference from people familiar with the situation.

            Yeah, that’s exactly what you said. He also said raw milk is dangerous to humans because pasteurized milk is safer for humans (??). I think he’s drunk or just very dumb. Either way, just ignore him.

            Sure I’ll clarify. The implication from your statement is that raw milk can kill half of cats very frequently, which is seemingly untrue. What seems to be the situation is that raw milk from cows infected with the bird flu can lead to a 50% fatality rate for cats that drink it. So if cats consume raw milk, will there be a near 50% fatality rate? Not necessarily, but it seems like that would be the case if the cows in question are infected with the bird flu (based on articles).

            The reason why I want to differentiate between what you said, and the article is I can imagine someone saying: “nearly half of cats die drinking raw milk!” to which a skeptic may find online people talking about cats not dying at such a high rate from drinking raw milk, leaving out the fact that the bird flu infected cows is the issue. This can dissuade skeptics from believing the reality that raw milk increases the chances of illness from the bird flu, as well as other sicknesses.

            If I’m wrong about the fact that nearly 50% of cats are dying, all the time, from raw milk, feel free to provide an article so i can educate myself.

              Thanks. 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.

      You might misunderstand. The bird droppings did not accidentally get into the cow feed. Humans put it there intentionally to save money. Just search for “poultry litter” or “boiler litter” and “cattle feed” if you don’t believe me. The people who came up with this idea are actually proud of it.

        [preface and disclaimer: I’m remembering off the top of my head something I read over 30 years ago, details may not be exactly correct]

        Not sure whether you remember the chapter of Sideways Stories from Wayside School, by Louis Sachar, in which there was a student who nobody liked, who was a real asshole and wore a stinky raincoat. The kids kept trying to take off his raincoat, but underneath was another, stinkier raincoat, just layers and layers of progressively stinky raincoats, and with every raincoat removed, the kid just became a bigger asshole and his laugh louder and more high-pitched.

        At the very end, he turned out to be a dead rat in a pile of stinky raincoats.

        That’s what the whole administration is shaping up to be. Except we knew this was coming and allowed it to happen, so I guess that, ultimately, we are the dead rat.
