Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

The risk to the general public from bird flu remains low and pasteurized dairy products are safe to consume, federal officials have said.
I'm not a conspiracy theorist but I have to say I'm starting to wonder if the federal government will ever admit there's a slightly greater risk. By that I mean - right now maybe they say danger is ~0.1 on a scale of 0 to 10. But then one day they the media will report the danger might be a 3 or a 4. There will be weird silence from the federal government and probably state governments too. They'll be trying to triangulate and find the lowest possible believable number. In the following days the governments will lie to try to control panic and say "Well, maybe it's a 1 but not a 5." And then they'll say "Well, maybe it's a 1.5 perhaps higher." And as time goes on they'll admit to more and more danger.
They'll damage their creditability with the public. When I think of trust and how it can shatter - I think of the toughness but fragility of Prince Rupert's drops.
Prince Rupert's drops (also known as Dutch tears or Batavian tears) are toughened glass beads created by dripping molten glass into cold water, which causes it to solidify into a tadpole-shaped droplet with a long, thin tail. These droplets are characterized internally by very high residual stresses, which give rise to counter-intuitive properties, such as the ability to withstand a blow from a hammer or a bullet on the bulbous end without breaking, while exhibiting explosive disintegration if the tail end is even slightly damaged.
In nature, similar structures are produced under certain conditions in volcanic lava, and are known as Pele's tears.

Is the whole raw milk thing actually some kind of psyop to get Americans to willingly and enthusiastically cause a bird flu epidemic in this country?
