    The California-based Raw Milk Institute called the warnings “clearly fearmongering.” 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 avian influenza virus will give them immunity to the deadly pathogen.

    By all means, drink up, morons, get the hell out of our gene pool, we’ve got enough troubles without your Dimwit DNA.

      It’s like the “facemasks are causing COVID-19” thing.

        To be fair to them, that is pretty close to how immunity actually works. Not quite there though.
