 Prion fact #2: CDC reports about 500 to 600 CJD cases a year in the entire U.S. Meanwhile foodborne illness causes 48 MILLION illnesses, 128,000 hospitalizations and 3,000 deaths every year.

Did you know you could easily be like “food borne illnesses cause major issues across our country, and further allowing companies to take shortcuts to rake in money that could expose to worse diseases like prion diseases would be the dumbest thing our government could do” but instead you’re being stupid about it bc “it’s not a problem” YEAH BC WE HAVE SAFETY MEASURES THEYRE TRYING TO GET RID OF BRO

Have you ever thought trying to fear monger people over a specific disease is fucking dishonest and is intentionally done to scare people?

“Food-borne illness is a real problem” doesn’t establish that this change creates a meaningful prion risk. They’ve been specifically invoking prions because they sound terrifying. If the evidence shows this policy materially increases prion exposure, show that evidence. Otherwise you and everyone else is using an extraordinarily rare disease as a rhetorical horror story to argue a completely different point. Stop using fucking generalities FOR EVERY FUCKING PROBLEM

It isn’t dishonest. You just weren’t around for when it was a major issue for Europe. Not just as a human life threat but as an economic one. Their economy crashed and global economics were impacted too. Why didn’t the US have as must devastation as the UK? Our incredibly strict safeguards. Is it dishonest to target a specific disease like measles to tackle the anti-vax movement? Is it dishonest to intentionally scare parents?

Also comparing vCJD, which ISN’T contagious to measles, WHICH IS CONTAGIOUS is what I mean by disingenuous 🤣 You either don’t know what you’re talking about, or you know vCJD isn’t contagious and you’re trying to drum up fear like I said all along. Either way, DON’T TALK ON IT!
