It’s bonkers, I walked down a high street last week, it was full of signs for raw milk, cheese etc. Few seem to be aware there are risks. Why we have pasteurised milk.

Several studies reported the detection of M. tuberculosis and M. africanum in milk. Despite international efforts to control tuberculosis, this study highlights the risk of zoonotic transmission of M. bovis via unpasteurised milk and dairy products using raw milk. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35091379/

Eek. Yes I wouldn’t risk it. That’s alarming.

That was well known before milk was pasteurized.

We seem to be forgetting lessons learned.

Anti-vaxxers - seem to be so ignorant - they do not know 40% of kids born died before age of 5 years - before we had started using science to address human health.

It’s frightening the comments I see from some on social media. Lately particularly on Measles 😔
