When H5N1 avian influenza started spreading among dairy cattle across the U.S. this year, regulators warned against consuming unpasteurized milk. What happened? Raw milk sales went up.

Distributors of this unsafe-for-human-consumption product deny H5N1—which has the potential to sicken millions of people—is a danger. Dairy farmers decline to allow disease detectives onto their properties.

      I’ve seen some freaking health professionals go full anti-mask and anti-vax. Like one of my friends is an RN and she went full Facebook Karen.

      You can’t fix stupid.

          I’ve seen the same here in Finland too. What is it with nurses going off the reich wing anti-vax / anti-mask deep end?

              Probably a nontrivial amount of wanting to feel smarter than “those know-it-all doctors with their fancy degrees” with a side of Dunning-Kruger

        That is genuinely freaky. I mean they should know better. Like way better.

      republiQans. We’re talking about republiQans.

      (Okay, fine and also some nazis, Qultists, some facebook boomers, a fair few Libertarians, and some woowoo newager people.)

      But, look, just say republiQans and have done with it. “Americans” is more than too general, it’s an absolute cop-out.

        You know, looking at world news, maybe kindergarten nurses should be in charge of the world?
