So...vitamin A? Horse dewormer? Not sure what to do about CJD.

And Trump complains that Austrailia doesn't want US beef.

2 dead from rare mad cow-like brain disease in Oregon, county health officials say

The Hood River County Health Department confirmed April 14 that two people have died from a mad cow-like illness called Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease.

And the great RFK Jr. I'm sure he's all over it. Just like measles which I believe has spread yet again.

Dammit, if only people had voted for Harris, she would have been able to *check notes* prevent proteins from misfolding in peoples brains....

You'd have to be a moron to think that prion disease is a partisan problem. Why don't you tell us all how Harris would prevent proteins from misfolding?

I think putting that crazy **** rfk Jr in charge along with mass firings doesn't help the situation. Why don't you tell us how he is doing a fine job? Measles anyone?

Well- the research at the NIH on it has ground to a halt- because Donald is a successful businessman and I am sure he will tell us what to do about it. He knows everything- because he has lots of money- definitely more than all those doctors and scientists that’s at the NIH. Why would we listen to them when we have a rich businessman to guide us?

RFK can't change the situation. Unless you're out there eating someone's CNS, prion diseases aren't infectious. They're also not treatable. RFK's spouting eugenics talking points towards autistic people, and you're trying to score political points from prion disease? Focus on what's actually important.

DOGE is of course slashing jobs in the exact places that would work on this, because that's exactly how evil MAGA is.

Yeah, which does nothing for people in Oregon right now, does it? There's been some incredible research in using methylisation to suppress prion development, but that's not what this thread is about. Here, we're trying to blame RFK for something that no-one can currently prevent.

No, we are trying to show the current people in charge are in way over their head. And it's not just this it's measles, anti-vax bullshit, calling autistic kids useless and firing the very people that could actually help.

Yup. The CDC, FDA, USDA and other agencies would be involved in tracking the contamination. The source may still pose a risk and there may need to be product recalls and livestock quarantines needed.

What the hell are you on about? No one is talking about treatment or a cure.

Again, if RFK's over his head, what would have Harris done to stop these people dying of an unpreventable, incurable disease?

No one is talking about a cure except you.

Yes- we need to put the blame where the blame is due- like on Biden for the temporary inflation after Covid.

You're right. I'm gonna make a thread about how it's RFK's fault my impact driver just died, since we're blaming him for things he has no control over.

He is unqualified to handle a disease crisis.

What's the qualification to handle two unrelated deaths from prion disease? Can you tell me what Harris' government would have done that could have had a different outcome?
