Wow. A microbiology lab at Texas A&M accepted purchased raw milk samples from NPR for H5N1 testing, then contacted the milk producers to seek permission. When the producers said, "don't test our milk," the lab not only declined to carry out the tests but also refused to send the samples on to another lab.
In the age of "you do you" public health, it's not just that the government won't/can't guarantee food safety - this public university won't even let you get it tested. That's how much more value they put on agriculture than consumers' rights/transparency/public health.
