This administration can sure use someone like you, asking the questions that need to be answered for ensuring biosafety.
But, as you know, it's not going to happen because they are already full of bull....

What about the workers? What about nearby poultry facilities? Aerosolized milk particles are everywhere in milking parlors. The recent study showed virus is everywhere on facilities. Dairy production represents a biosecurity threat that is impossible to contain.

Could 1mL of raw, H5N1-infected milk potentially infect 10,000 to 100,000,000 turkeys?
Obviously, these lab titers don’t translate cleanly into real-world transmission because dose, route, strain, host species, and environmental factors all matter...

So, I'm just thinking out loud here, say raw milk has on the order of 10^4 to 10^9 virus particles per mL, and it takes fewer than 10 virus particles to infect 50% of turkeys—assuming similar strain, lab, and host conditions...
