Because they’re a lot less likely to kill me than raw milk is. Why is this even a question? People have literally died from pathogens they caught from drinking raw milk.
Who, other than people with allergies, has died from eating beans? Because as far as I know, cooked beans do not transmit dangerous pathogens. Raw milk can.
I was just giving reason, that exist to prefer raw milk. I only ever drank raw milk when spending vacations on a farm and i didn’t buy cow milk since a couple of years.
Still i would like to say that i don’t think raw milk is a problematic vector for pandemics to spread. Chance is people will get the shits if hygiene is bad, but i doubt a viral pandemic to spread because of raw milk. More likely would be farm workers getting an infection over the air and then spreading it to other humans.
A source that it’s possible? You really need a source that something carrying viruses can be a transmission vector if it jumps to humans? Because I think you need to take a basic virology course in that case.
For starters i find it unlikely that a respiratory disease is transmitted through food. Possible sure. But by the logic of “possible” rather than “probable” we should never leave the house again.
First of all COVID wasn’t transmitted from eating. It was likely transmitted from animals that were still alive at that market and it was always a respiratory disease.
And then again what is your conclusion? To ban all products and activities, that have a principal possibility of transmitting diseases? Because then nothing much is left to be done. So obviously the probability needs to be a relevant factor. Which brings us back to the question if you have any source of scientists indicating that raw milk would be a relevant vector for the transmission of respiratory diseases.
As it stands it seems to me that you just dislike raw milk for some reason, which has nothing to do with it being a relevant risk for diseases to spread or not.
Pasteurization. The Chinese started doing it 1000 years ago, so I’m not sure why you aren’t aware of it.
As for the “some reason” why I dislike raw milk:
Milk is an excellent medium for microbial growth,[18] and when it is stored at ambient temperature, bacteria and other pathogens soon proliferate.[19] The US Centers for Disease Control (CDC) says improperly handled raw milk is responsible for nearly three times more hospitalizations than any other food-borne disease source, making it one of the world’s most dangerous food products.[20][21] Diseases prevented by pasteurization can include tuberculosis, brucellosis, diphtheria, scarlet fever, and Q-fever; it also kills the harmful bacteria Salmonella, Listeria, Yersinia, Campylobacter, Staphylococcus aureus, and Escherichia coli O157:H7,[22][23] among others.
Why are you getting your vitamins from milk?
Most people get their vitamins from their food, not from dietary supplements.
Last I checked, food other than milk exists.

What the fuck kind of stupid answer is that?

You generally cook beans before you eat them. Guess what pasteurization essentially does?

People have died from eating beans.
Why are you defending the bean eaters.

Again, I’m not sure why this is even comparable.

People who study viruses for a living seem to think it’s possible, but I guess as long as you doubt it, no problem.
Pandemic from raw milk? Do you have a source for that?

That’s not how viruses work. They evolve. They can become airborne. How are you not aware of this? It’s literally what happened with COVID.
First of all COVID wasn’t transmitted from eating. It was likely transmitted from animals that were still alive at that market and it was always a respiratory disease.

But do explain why such outbreaks should be risked for the sake of someone having a kind of milk they prefer the taste of.
