I kinda get risking a tummy ache for raw milk if that’s your thing. I don’t get risking being patient zero in a bird flu pandemic.
I think people have already proven that they rather kill their families and neighbours than experience a mild inconvenience.
The inconvenience in question here is not being able to do something unimaginably stupid.
It’s not even an inconvenience. Raw milk is harder to get, more expensive, and doesn’t keep as long. And it’s the sort of thing you have to actively look for to find it.
The thing I can’t figure out is where these dumb opinions and attitudes are coming from and why is it getting worse? I can’t go on social media without coming across something insanely stupid within a few minutes (like, I just saw a pro-raw milk post this morning on Facebook). But it’s not just online - I’m seeing more and more “normal” people I know just adopt patently false ideas.
Like, what’s happening to our society that people are just not using critical thinking anymore?
We’re gonna see Dysentary make a comeback because of these redcap fuckasses and they’re gonna start whinging about how not being able to shit themselves to death in public is violating their freedumbs.
I learned about pasteurization in ELEMENTARY SCHOOL. These people are deeply uneducated.
I remember reading an illustrated book about Louis Pasteur and his creation of his rabies vaccine. It showed tiny soldiers in the needle that went in and did battle with the rabies virus.
It also mentioned that he had already invented pasteurization to make our milk safer to drink.
I think that was in Kindergarten, but it may have been 1st grade.
People deserve a right to do to and with their bodies what they want.
People do not have the right to carelessly endanger other people. This goes for many things from second hand smoke to negligently spreading infectious diseases.
We’re witnessing the end result of decades of baked-n American Exceptionalism and “rugged individualism”: a bunch of selfish pricks literally willing to kill themselves and others out of some bizarre form of oppositional defiant disorder.
This is the American Dream, folks.
