People’s blindness to the benefits of things like pasteurization, washing their hands, and vaccines is crazy to me. What’s the next trend? Don’t refrigerate meat because “big-fridge” is out to get ya?

I don't know if there's a catchy name for it, but if you spend a lifetime in an environment where many serious diseases have been eradicated or nearly eradicated by vaccines it's easy to start to believe that the vaccines do nothing. This is true of so many other things as well - people take norms that make their life possible/livable for granted until they're gone.
I don't really see a solution here. It just seems like human nature.
Fermented meat is a thing. I know the thought of it is disgusting but corned beef is fermented meat. The best is when the bacteria eat at the connective and the meat gets a slightly foam texture. I make it about once a year.
There was also a tiny "trend" a couple years ago for stupid people letting meat rot and eating it for psychoactive effects.
It was called "High meat" and it was more a trend in garbage news articles than reality but there was a tiny niche of youtube videos at least.
You get what I'm saying though, right? When I say washing hands, I'm not discounting the benefits/viability of hand sanitizer.
Apples and oranges. Derailing an argument with tangential topics will never cease to piss me off.
I just thought they were raising an interesting fact. It's not like "lol antivaxxers" was much of an "argument" to derail anyway.
