They only found out the virus was infecting cows because two veterinarians were like "huh, why are all these cows sick?". The USDA and the CDC apparently didn't want to bother with any of this.
Typical U.S Government response.
Feeding bird shit to cows
we fed them the bird doodoo
:porky-happy: "no point in trying to contain it then! money printer go brrr"
Why contain it? Let it spill over to the schools and churches, let the bodies pile up in the streets. In the end, they'll beg us to save them.
Covid seen one of the biggest if not THE single biggest transfers of wealth up. Turns out plague is profitable, so the porkys eagerly awaits new one.
Who exactly is surprised by this.
I am still sure covid actually started in the west. Only reason we ever got any protection was because China blew the whistle. But it didn't start there, probably had gone around for quite a while at that point. Westerners don't even notice when elderly or disabled people die, just look at the "new normal".
investigate Fort Detrick
People will literally drink plague juice and still say veganism is unhealthy.
PCR testing at OSU revealed three of those 22 products to be positive for viral RNA. Bowman sent them to Webby to inject into plates of mammalian cells and embryonated chicken eggs and look for any signs of active viral replication. In order to do that, Webby needed a negative control, so he went and bought milk at a store near his lab in Memphis. But PCR testing found H5N1 RNA in that sample too, making it useless as a negative control, but an additional data point showing a lack of live virus.
God damn it, lmao.
Covid 20?
Global pandemic 2, electric boogaloo

So is it a thing that some health nuts drink unpasteurised milk? I'm not sure if I've dreamt that or not. And I guess at that point we just need a mutation and we're right back at 2019 again, right?
There is a libertarian subsection in this country that makes a stink about SWATs raiding raw milk producers. And individuals that tout the benefit of drinking it unpasteurized.
Yep. There are people who claim that pasteurization "ruins" the milk, usually with some vague claims about "nutrients"
Personally I'd much rather nutrient deficient milk that won't give me E-coli, but that's just me.
Yeah, ehec can very easily kill a person. Kidney failure and all that.
As a kid my extended family had dairy cows so we often got fresh raw milk from them. It was a small farm, pasture raised healthy animals and a different era. I'm not in the US. Hygiene regulations were very strict where I live at the time and farms were a decent size, animals were treated a lot better than today.
It tastes very good, but it's still just milk. I would never drink it now of ever get it from some random farm.
Hopefully there can be no nonsense like a lab leak this time around.
don’t worry. if Americans are given a choice between believing the next pandemic is a result of the cruelty and dangerousness of factory farming, or that the eternally devilish removed magically conjured a plague as punishment for America’s crime of being God’s favorite country, i’m sure they will quickly come to a rational consensus.
The milk must flow, after all.
i apparently said a no-no word. i shall now eat my shit and hair, known in Japanese as ‘Sepukku’ (literally, “to consume one’s own shit and hair”)
DOES PASTEURIZING IT KILL THE VIRUS?
Yes. They've detected particles of the broken virus in pasteurized milk, but no live virus, which indicates getting hella torched killed it.
We're going to see the flu jump over to humans from those raw milk freaks
THE WORLD IS A TERRIBLE PLACE
Dairy workers are at risk as well.
Dad would say free protein

Welcome to c/news! We aim to foster a book-club type environment for discussion and critical analysis of the news. Our policy objectives are:
-
To learn about and discuss meaningful news, analysis and perspectives from around the world, with a focus on news outside the Anglosphere and beyond what is normally seen in corporate media (e.g. anti-imperialist, anti-Zionist, Marxist, Indigenous, LGBTQ, people of colour).
-
To encourage community members to contribute commentary and for others to thoughtfully engage with this material.
-
To support healthy and good faith discussion as comrades, sharpening our analytical skills and helping one another better understand geopolitics.
We ask community members to appreciate the uncertainty inherent in critical analysis of current events, the need to constantly learn, and take part in the community with humility. None of us are the One True Leftist, not even you, the reader.
