I looked that statement up and found a part of what may have been the problem is something called "Campylobacter", a bacterial infection that may result in diarhea, stomach pain and fever.
The article you cited added the word " Campylobacter" only because it is first cousin to salmonella.
I'm generally too laxzy (I think I'll let that typo stand ... I think it is more descriptive ..) to bullet point what I read, but if one searches the word, you may come to the conclusion that Campylobacter might be something to be concerned about.
More than one article states the problem may be prevented by washing your hands.
Campylobacter ... seems no more harmful that the flu that may kill you, a broken bone, not/or improperly set could cripple you and/or not brushing your teeth might cause your teeth to fall out.
Accepting their premise is foolish.
Never answer a fool in his folly, or you will be like him yourself.
The issue isn’t about safety, not in the least.
You've never suffered from it, have you? Ever seen a young child working his way through such an infection? How about some of these....any in here you think might be bad to go toe to toe with?
Ever seen someone with a bad case of E. coli 0157? Do you know what HUS is? How about listeria or TB? Brucellosis is pretty brutal too, especially if you're a kid. Many of these come from inside the cow so no matter how much you clean or attempt to sterilize the production of the milk, only pasteurization can kill those bad bugs.
Raw milk is responsible for nearly three times more hospitalizations than any other foodborne disease outbreak. There are absolutely no health benefits to drinking raw milk vs. pasteurized milk so taking on that risk isn't rational. Watching parents give it to their children, while their immune systems are still developing, is unfortunate. Even so, I'm against the government telling people what they can and cannot consume, but don't try and downplay the inherent risk in consuming raw milk. The facts don't support you.
