They have recommended not drinking raw unpateurized milk since the Texas
cats all died by drinking the farm milk, but they are finally getting
around to claiming that the dairy virus can produce gut infections in
humans. The Missouri patient and one of the California child infections
was a gut dairy influenza infection, but the CDC would not admit to that
at the time. They are finally getting around to admitting that it could
be the case.

They continue to stick to the raw milk advice, but they do not cite
their own findings that the dairy virus might survive the most common pasteurization method and could survive in refrigerated milk for at
least 4 days (the length of the experiment). Later studies indicate
that the virus can survive in refrigerated raw milk for at least 6 days.

This was published in Oct 2024 in their Nov. Emerging Infectious
Diseases as a research letter. The FDA claimed that they were going to
check it out at that time, but the study was never completed, at least,
no FDA results were ever published all they published was their bogus
protocol and the claim that they were looking for volunteer processing
plants (they shouldn't trust volunteer results. They needed to go to
the processing plants accepting infected milk and test them). This
means that we still do not know if the virus can survive the most common pasteurization methods. The FDA was going to test the trucks coming in
and the milk after pasteurization, but what was needed was testing of
all weak points like shift changes, start up after clean out, etc. You
just need a few gallons to pass through with live virus to have a
potential issue for consumers, and to account for the California and
Missouri cases.
