Because dipshits gonna dipshit.

Crunchy types who think ultra bacterial/viral milk is health beneficial and that bacteria free (pasteurized, as in, flashed with some heat) is terrible for their health, will go out of their way to continue consuming it. Remember, “I don’t wanna” is a predictor of human behavior.

We also have the premier dipshit, RFK, heading health, and a CDC that doesn’t do pandemic work (see: Reveal podcast’s 3 part series on the COVID project), so it could be that California is treating this as one of many things states have to do themselves, by themselves, going forward. My read of the post election news is all 3 west coast states plan to do for themselves, as independently as possible, since Trump won. This action fits that narrative and theif GDPs, CA especially, do make that plausible. As such, OR and even WA may follow suit if more cases appear.

Newsom is also gunning to run in 2028, assume we have democratic elections instead of Putin style elections going forward.
