While the New Mexico Department of Health said it can’t pinpoint the baby’s exact cause of death, officials believe it could have been linked to the mother’s drinking raw milk during pregnancy.

Health officials in New Mexico are warning against consuming raw dairy products after a newborn baby in the state died from a listeria infection that they say was likely contracted when the baby’s mother drank raw milk during pregnancy.

The New Mexico Department of Health in a news release said that officials believe the mother consumed unpasteurized milk while pregnant, which could have led to the listeria infection.

Officials cannot pinpoint the exact source of the listeria that led to the baby’s death, the release said, but it noted that “the tragic death underscores the serious risks raw dairy poses to pregnant women, young children, elderly New Mexicans and anyone with a weakened immune system.”

    It’s going to get worse every day, and every day we’re all going to get used to sharing a country with a population who have been essentially lobotomized by capital until we give up fighting, because outside influences are oozing through our every media feed and atomized algorithm pushing whatever radical slop it can to make us all divided and dumber with no attention spans and crippling social anxiety so nobody is able to enforce the ONLY thing that keeps populations caring about reason and facts: social pressure.

    Social pressure is the only thing that’s ever worked to make people want to be smarter and make right choices, and when you get rid of community, you get rid of people’s need to belong to a better tribe, so everyone retreats to their online, AI-nurtured spaces to be coddled and sold new products.
