The prevalence of H5N1 genetic material in purchased milk products suggests the bird flu outbreak is far more widespread in cows than official counts indicate.

    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.

    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”.

    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.

    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.

      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.

      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
