      Does the article not explain this?

        No it doesn’t.

        Milk is pasteurized. That means viruses are dead.

        Can you explain why you’re hysterical over a bullshit article?

      They’re are essentially trying to catch the disease and spread it via misunderstood science. Their stupidity puts us all at risk. It’s the same reason as any other law - stupidity and ignorance is not an excuse to fuck over the rest of us.

        Pasteurization kills viruses. So no. Not really.

          Right. Raw milk is not pasteurized. Thats the whole point - they are drinking milk that has the live virus on purpose. Viruses can then spread from person to person. So while I wont drink unpasteurized milk, those who do will still put the rest of us at risk.

            How many people have access to raw milk? I certainly don’t. All milk sold in the US is pasteurized.

            As far as I am concerned this is just fear mongering. Which is par for the course because that is what the media does. They drum up hysteria and fear to gain viewer attention.

              All milk sold in the US is pasteurized.

              That’s a false claim. It is state dependent. Many grocery stores and some butcher shops in my state also sells raw milk.
