If raw milk is as dangerous as some of the keyboard experts on here think then Louis Pasteur would never have been born - humans would’ve died out in Northern Europe long before.
Actually, people DID die from these pathogens, in droves, before pasteurization. Most of those didn't get a chance to "get used" to it, because they were CHILDREN, who hadn't had a lifetime to get used to it. They'd get sick from this, and either die of some foodborne pathogen, or an opportunistic infection taking advantage of their weakened immune system would kill them off - scarlet fever, mumps, measles, tuberculosis, etc.
It's not just "well if you drink it you die". Thousands would likely die from this - in fact, if you pay attention to the raw milk weirdo cultists on Facebook and other outlets, their kids do get sick and die way more often, usually because those people also don't believe in things like modern medicine. Combine everything ABOVE with a man who has literally stated, multiple times, on microphone, that modern medicine is a sham and he'd love to see the whole modern pharmaceutical industry disappear, and one hopes you can begin to see where the "fear mongering" is coming from, logically.
Yes. I wish more people were like you. What you wrote is correct. It Is far more nuanced than the crowd here are saying, as you acknowledge. I hope people take onboard what you posted. The only reason so many of us are alive is because of pasteurisation, vaccines (I assume the word is related to cows), modern medicine, biocides etc. To move away from these things, en masse, would cull a huge proportion of people. There’s a reason families pumped out 10-15 kids - they hoped a few would get to adulthood.
I’ve buried children, under those circumstances, and it’s the saddest fucking thing I’ve ever done.
