Analysis Summary
Regulators have linked Mark McAfee's Raw Farm, the largest raw-milk dairy in the U.S., to at least 13 recalls and outbreaks sickening hundreds of people — including cases he himself has acknowledged hospitalizing children. The post accurately captures ProPublica's investigation, though the framing ('the government isn't stopping him') reflects editorial judgment about regulatory sufficiency rather than pure fact. McAfee continues operating and profiting while federal and state agencies have limited enforcement tools — the real issue is whether current regulatory structure is adequate, which is contested between public health officials and raw milk advocates backed by RFK Jr.

The government isn't stopping him (McAfee from continuing to profit off raw milk)
Implied claim in headline. ProPublica documents regulatory response as insufficient given ongoing illnesses, but McAfee continues operating. True that enforcement has not halted production, though characterization of inaction involves editorial judgment.
Mostly True
