The virus is killed by pasteurization. There is no live virus in the milk.

    Please don't inject milk into your muscle tissue.

  Milk in the US is pasteurized at 63C for 30 minutes. > The results show that at 54.5 °C, the virus [SARS-CoV-2] half-life was 10.8 ± 3.0 min and the time for a 90% decrease in infectivity was 35.4 ± 9.0 min. [1] At 8.5 degrees hotter, I'm sure stuff happens quicker, but I doubt very much it kills them all. This study is in air - in liquid I imagine they would survive to a higher temperature. It's far from clear that all virus particles are inactivated by pasteurization. Remember the main purpose of pasteurization is to kill most bacteria, to increase shelf life.
