how is it safe to drink pasteurized milk when avian flu virus is viable to 165 degrees Fahrenheit and milk is only pasteurized at 145 degrees?

Concerns about possible transmission to people drinking unpasteurized milk are being talked about a lot. Apparently they fed mice unpasteurized milk, and they got the virus, but it seems like the temperature required to kill. The virus is higher than what they used to sterilize the milk. How is this safe?

The FDA doesn’t tell you this because most people are just stupid and will get it wrong, but you can cook food at lower temps for a longer time to make it safe.

Chicken is recommended to be cooked to 165°, but if you cook it to 145° and hold it at that internal temp for 9 minutes, it’s completely safe to eat.
