The companion article about American contrariness was also fun. Fauci warns against drinking raw milk and immediately social media has people promoting drinking raw milk "for immunization" making the sale of raw milk shoot up.

At this moment I think if a new pandemic starts, nurses are just going to quit their jobs in the spot instead of going through all that again.

They're so mentally fragile and easy to manipulate that I feel like Fauci could "warn" against drinking pasteurized milk and getting vaccinated and the problem would solve itself.
The only issue is there's plenty of people on the left that wouldn't be able to see what was actually going on and that the left was having a collective "Shhh! ;)" moment and take him seriously and think he lost his mind.

Is the epidemic expected this quarter or next? If it's this quarter, I have some numbers to make go up. Remind me in three months.

How is this the dairy industry's job? Surely it's for government to look after public health? The dairy industry just produces dairy?

The dairy industry can vaccinate their livestock, test their milk for the virus, and (god forbid) improve the conditions the cows live in such that they are not in such constant close contact with one another, among other issues.

And if you read the article, you'll see that industry regulation is also mentioned.
