Also brings up the image of Simian virus in early polio vaccine. It shows
they just don't get it, that although the milk proteins, etc. may be
genetically "human", it won't be specifically immunologically the same as
human milk because the mother goat won't have continuing exposure to and
react to all the various things the baby's mother might, and who knows
how goat immune bodies compare with human anyway??? And what diseases
that goats get that humans haven't gotten so far. Like HIV starting first
in monkeys???

Worse than Pandora's box!
