So… they think it will… vaccinate them?
Truly it boggles the mind.
There is the tale (which has a grain of truth in it.) of how vaccination from chickenpox came to be via milkmaids and cowpox, so maybe folks think bird flu will work the same?
We’re playing Plague Inc on easy mode.
“Sick people given hugs”
Papa nurgle smiles upon mankind, i guess.
MAGA tards: ivermectin on one hand, industrial raw milk in the other
Serious question, does consuming a virus give a similar viral load as inhaling an equal amount?
Assuming you mean viral load referring to mucuses or blood of the infected. Given that the human influenza virus’ entry requires the viral surface proteins (hemagglutinin (HA)) to bind to acids present on respiratory epithelial cells along with cleavage of HA by host cell proteases (enzymes that breakdown proteins) to facilitate membrane fusion. These trypsin-like proteases are mainly expressed in airway tissues, restricting influenza viral tissue response to the respiratory tract. I would say it would be highly unlikely for influenza viral replication existing in an environment lacking this crucial interaction let alone a low-pH environment like the GI tract
But probably not a good idea anyway?
That’s a fascinating question. I’d love to hear from an actual epidemiologist.
You don’t swallow all of the milk and thus not all of the virus particles. There’s always some residue that can then start to infect you just as if you inhaled the virus.
My milkshake brings all the boys to graveyard
And they’re like, it’s better than SARS.
I used to think if these people did the dumb things they would die before having any impact on the rest of us.
I say we let natural selection take its course
Plz don’t, I work retail.
I got bad news folks.
It’s truly our way.
Millenia of storytelling: These are things that can happen, let’s make sharing information fun.
History: Look at all this misery. Look at it.
Post-covid: Ok boys, we gave it a go. Good job overall, but we need to do better next time. Let’s hit the showers then the replays to see what we can do better.
Us: Why is this happening? Who did this to me? Because I’ve been kept in the dark I will decide how to handle this new situation and spread the word.
Still unlikely to develop human to human transmission this way.
That’s totally how human to human transmission is going to start.
I mean, it may give 'em immunity. Just not how they think it should (although I’m not sure if they can think at all) :D
Natural selection:
Good news! The mortality rate is so high it’s unlikely to spread as far as COVID!
