Media Launches Shaming Propaganda Campaign Against ‘Idiots’ Who Drink Raw Milk Amidst Bird Flu Fears

Last month the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) warned that 1 out of 5 of conventional, store-bought pasteurized milk samples they tested had trace elements of deactivated H5N1 bird flu in them, thus prompting a flurry of articles warning that bird flu could very easily become the ‘next pandemic.’

The World Health Organization issued their own guidance, urging populations to consume only pasteurized dairy products and abstain from raw milk.

Investigations are ongoing to understand the risk to humans from consuming milk contaminated with A(H5N1) virus. It is important for people to continue to follow safe food practices. Many dangerous zoonotic pathogens can be transmitted through unpasteurized milk, and FAO and WHO strongly advise the consumption of only pasteurized milk and to avoid consuming raw milk.

The WHO wrote, though they consigned that it is still unknown just how effective the pasteurization process is in preventing an outbreak or infection

Pasteurization is a process in which the milk is rapidly heated at high temperatures to varying degrees, designed to kill bacteria and potential pathogens in the dairy. The process, however, destroys and deactivates a number of important enzymes, amino acids, vitamins and minerals, and other healthy bacteria. The Weston A. Price Foundation has a number of articles explaining the negatives of this process, and the pros of raw dairy. Raw milk and dairy are still illegal to sell at grocery stores in decent chunks of U.S. states.

More recently, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) issued their own warning not to consume raw milk:

Additionally, as a reminder, while CDC believes the current risk of A(H5N1) infection to the general public remains low, high levels of A(H5N1) virus have been found in unpasteurized (“raw”) milk. CDC and FDA recommend against the consumption of raw milk or raw milk products. The risk of human infection from drinking raw milk containing live A(H5N1) virus specifically is unknown.

To date, A(H5N1) viruses have not acquired the ability to bind to virus receptors that are most prevalent in the upper respiratory tract of people.

If a person consumed raw milk with live A(H5N1) virus, the person could become infected, theoretically, by the virus binding to a limited amount of virus receptors in the upper respiratory tract or by aspiration of virus into the lower respiratory tract where receptors that A(H5N1) viruses can bind to are more widely distributed.

This week U.S. media has now amped up their vitriol against raw milk and people who are insistent upon drinking it. Sales of raw milk are rising after some influencers, apparently, have touted the benefits of raw milk and that consuming it will help prevent people from contracting bird flu.

Earlier this week, the Associated Press published an article titled, “There’s bird flu in US dairy cows. Raw milk drinkers aren’t deterred.” The AP writes: ‘Since March 25, when the bird flu virus was confirmed in U.S. cattle for the first time, weekly sales of raw cow’s milk have ticked up 21% to as much as 65% compared with the same periods a year ago, according to the market research firm NielsenIQ.’

The AP noted: ‘The NielsenIQ figures include grocery stores and other retail outlets. They show that raw milk products account for a small fraction of overall dairy sales. About 4,100 units of raw cow’s milk and about 43,000 units of raw milk cheese were sold the week of May 5, for instance, according to NielsenIQ. That compares with about 66.5 million units of pasteurized cow’s milk and about 62 million units of pasteurized cheese.’

The AP went on to claim that “the virus has been found in high levels in the raw milk of infected cows,” but did not provide a source for this claim.

Mark McAfee, owner of Raw Farm USA in Fresno, California, says “People are seeking raw milk like crazy. Anything that the FDA tells our customers to do, they do the opposite.”

Donald Schaffner, a Rutgers University food science professor, told the AP he finds this “absolutely stunning.” “Food safety experts like me are just simply left shaking their heads,” he said.

Moreover, Alex O’Brien, safety and quality coordinator for the Center for Dairy Research, said “I liken drinking raw milk to playing Russian roulette.”

But Bonni Gilley (75) from Fresno, California, said she’s raised generations of her family on raw milk and unpasteurized cream and butter because she believes “it’s so healthy” and does not contain additives. This recent bird flu craze has apparently renewed her faith in unpasteurized dairy. “If anything, it is accelerating my thoughts about raw milk,” she said, partially because she does not trust the government.

The AP quoted Matthew Motta, who studies health misinformation at Boston University, said, “It’s not that people are stupid or ignorant or that they don’t know what the science is,” he said. “They’re motivated to reject it on the basis of partisanship, their political ideology, their religion, their cultural values.”

But other outlets are much more direct and abrasive. Gizmodo ran a headline titled, “Raw Milk Sales Skyrocket as Idiots Believe Drinking Bird Flu Will Give Them ‘Immunity.'”

Matt Novack, the author of that article, lambasted those who drink raw milk. “Please don’t drink raw milk at any time, especially not now. Despite claims that there are nutritional benefits to raw milk, that’s simply not true, according to the CDC.”

He added: “The lone claim that holds up is that raw milk tastes better, something that’s obviously a matter of taste. And that’s a really stupid reason to get very, very sick—to say nothing about potentially kicking off a brand new human-centered pandemic that could kill half of everyone infected with it.”

There are a number of mainstream reports published this week so far that have derided against drinking raw milk, which includes:

• “Raw Milk Enthusiasts Demand Milk Infected With H5N1” – (Futurism)
• “Raw milk sales are surging because people think drinking bird flu makes them immune. It doesn’t” – (Quartz)
• “Bird flu and health warnings won’t stop raw milk drinkers getting their fix” – (The Independent)
• “Bird flu in US cattle has caused concern amongst milk-drinkers. Is cow’s milk safe to drink?” – (BBC)
• “Raw milk sales spike despite CDC’s warnings of risk associated with bird flu” – (PBS)
• “Seriously, don’t drink the raw milk: Social media doubles down despite bird flu outbreak” – (USA Today)
• “My rendezvous with the raw milk black market: quick, easy, and unchecked by the FDA” – (STAT)
• “‘Absolutely stunning’: Food safety experts amazed as raw milk sales surge amid budding bird flu crisis” – (Fortune)
• “Raw Milk Is Growing in Popularity—But Is it Safe to Drink?” – (Health)
• “Why Drinking Pasteurized Milk Is Imperative for Your Safety, From an RD” – (Well + Good)

Notwithstanding, Mark McAfee, who was quoted earlier by the AP, had more to say but was not fully quoted by the outlet. The Epoch Times reached out to him for more context. McAfee said that the demonization of raw dairy is new propaganda campaign.

I’ve had several customers say that whatever the FDA tells them to do, that they will do the opposite. They understand that this is part of an ongoing smear campaign against the industry, and they are instead going to listen to their farmer. They’ve run out of attacks, and this bird flu scare is only the newest version.

It is not contagious to humans at all. The science shows that there are no genetic markers indicating it has the capacity to skip to humans. None.

McAfee told The EP

However, registered health practitioners and professionals are also chiding against and making it out to be people who drink raw milk are foolish.

#stitch with @Liz Seibert Humanity is going backwards. Do not drink unpasteurized milk. Unpasteurized milk can cause multiple serious and fatal food borne illnesses. #rawmilk #unpasteurized #milk #dairy #pasteurization #lactoseintolerance

AUTHOR COMMENTARY

That’s right, friend, you are an “idiot” and some unlearned fool that needs to be talked down to like a small child. Well, as far as I am concerned, praise the Lord! I will gladly rejoice in their mockery. As Paul said, “I am become a fool in glorying; ye have compelled me:” (2 Corinthians 12:11).

Job 13:4 But ye are forgers of lies, ye are all physicians of no value.

These liars and paid shills can go sit on a cactus. I will continue to promote and drink raw dairy. The benefits are numerous and are not even remotely dangerous as the media and corrupt health authorities say; whereas pasteurized and homogenized dairy destroy and deactivate many of the necessary vitamins and minerals, amino acids, enzymes, and beneficial bacteria. That’s not even factoring in the quality of the cow, how it was raised, what it was fed, how many vaccines and antibiotics it took, and the cruel conditions these cows are forced in.

The propaganda here is so obvious, it’s comical. And yet, this was the same shaming mind-control we saw deployed during the Covid scare. ‘Oh, if you don’t stay home and go broke, wear a mask and social distance, you’re just thinking about yourself and are going to kill grandma.’ Same thing now: ‘abstain from the raw dairy lest you poison everyone else because you asymptomatically spread it to others.’

Listen, don’t fall for it. Keep buying it and keep drinking it. Resist it and take a stand, but also warn your local farmers to get ready for a raft of government bullying, and try to network with them so you can secure some connections before the government inevitably bans it.

I have been warning for years now that bird flu would be used to justify culling and heavily vaccinating livestock, wildlife and pets, and yanking meat and dairy from the shelves, while claiming plenty of lives along the way. “Bird flu” is just a fairy tale like Covid was. There is no virus, it’s made-up propaganda; but ‘they’ need a scapegoat narrative to justify their actions.

1 Timothy 4:1 Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; [2] Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron; [3] Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth.
