    Watching sky news tonight I heard total CJD deaths was 143 in UK. Cost of destroyed cattle - billions. Afaik in the US officially this never happened to US beef. Did a quick google and found this:

    Reckon the men in black are stifling the truth here - $100-200 billion to be saved with the cost of 600 - 800 lives - I have a hunch this is indeed the case... Of course I have no proof of this - just a theory.

    It's things like this that make me glad I'm vegetarian. :D

    But seriously, a friend's cousin lives in America, and her father is a doctor, and he advises his kids not to get blood transfusions unless absolutely necessary, as there is a high risk of contracting CJD there. :confused:

    I don't know how valid that opinion is, but it's what he says...Scary, eh?

    That's definitley sinister. Sounds to me like US govt has issued soviet style press blanket on this. People know can't speak about it just give vague warnings etc.

    [EDIT] Only returned to red-meat about 2 years ago. I realised the unlikehood of getting cjd. That is what inspired the conspiracy theory - deaths - vs Cost. As far as I'm concerned I just have no evidence to the contrary...

    If the truth comes out... Yes we did have a coverup - this cost 800 lives and saved Uncle Sam $99,455,122,393 people will still vote for this :( [/EDIT]

    I'm not sure about CJD but in the US there is supposed to be a greater amount or animals with Mad cow disease. The reason they are not found is because there is very little testing for these diseases. In Ireland (and the rest of europe) , every animal is tested before being killed and then (i think) twice a year before that. More if a farm near you is infected.

    CJD is the name given to mad cow disease when a human has it!
