California's Dept of Public Health reports finding #H5N1 #birdflu virus in raw milk. The producer, Raw Farm LLC of Fresno County, has agreed to recall a batch of a whole milk product called "cream top."
Milk from infected cows contains staggering levels of virus. https://www.statnews.com/2024/04/29/bird-flu-raw-milk-h5n1-risk-us-cattle/
@HelenBranswell It’s quite the way to spell Darwin award. Would be funny if it wasn’t so deadly, and worse still, ominously promises to spread it beyond the wishful thinkers who’ve forgotten why special-purpose milk boiling pots and milk watchers existed for centuries.
@albertcardona @HelenBranswell Isn't RFK Jr. a raw milk fan? And hasn't he just been appointed to the FDA?
Not FDA but Secretary of Health, I think.
He'll make sure though to do everything in his power to ban any scientific and data driven approach the FDA might have (had).

And Joel Salatin has now apparently been tapped as "Advisor to the Secretary of the FDA".
