Unpasteurized milk itself isn’t the problem. It’s the consequences of trying to milk cows at an industrial scale that are. You simply can’t keep it free from contamination the entire time from the cow to the grocery store shelf.
Without pasteurization, the pathogens that make their way into the milk are going to fester. Fresh milk from a cow isn’t going to kill you, but drinking that just might.
Yoi’re right, letting them get infected with life-threatening diseases with as little protection as possible is much more responsible.
Only thing this is benefiting is big pharma, they don’t make money off of healthy people.
This has always been a stupid argument. Imagine two pharmaceutical companies, A and B. A develops a treatment that treats but doesn’t cure a patient. B develops a more expensive treatment, but it completely cures a patient.
Which company would you want to be a customer of? Obviously B, they can cure you. Pharmaceutical companies are financially incentivised to cure rather than treat.
Now imagine A also tries to develop a cure. The only was they can compete is by making the cure cheaper, safer or more effective.
Being the only one with a cure means you can also ask higher prices, as you’ve essentially monopolised a disease.
This is also self-evident from all the diseases that we’ve found cures for in the last few decades. Even cancer is becoming less and less of a death sentence.

When people carried the milk home, they used it the same day.
Sometimes a change in weather could spoil it on the way home.
@pivot_root Actually it is a problem, 1) it destroys a lot of the nutrient value, and 2) it makes it taste like chalk water instead of milk.
Nope! STUDY AFTER STUDY shows that isn’t true in any meaningful sense.

Next you’re gonna tell us that the earth is flat because you’ve never experienced curvature. 🙄
Well then, you go right ahead and take RFK Jrs health advice.
Good luck.

Your son got heart damage and you think RFK Jr is right? You’re a horrible parent.

Im not going to bother with an antivaxxor moron, i wouldn’t be surprised if you think the earth is flat too.
I hope your child survives you.
Spoken like a true friend to polio
And a terrible parent.
Also, they think RFK is right about being antivax despite getting heart damage from COVID?
I’m thinking what we need to finally wake people up is a major polio outbreak.
That didn’t work on the anti-vaxxers and anti-maskers during the 1918 flu pandemic.
As if it wouldn’t be explained away as either 1) a hoax or 2) a conspiracy brought on by one’s political rivals

He’s wrong.
