The really touchy part is the decades long incubation period. The only way to find out whether the MAD COW BOMB is already speeding towards it's
target or not, is to find out the precise date when individual slaughterhouses started including brains, eyes, and spinal material into the feed, and
then check that against the first diagnosed case of the disease in a human, and compare your total findings with a study on how many cows with BSE are
capable of passing the disease on to humans, in other words, how many cases of cross species contamination you have. Efforts to put a number on the
total infections are hampered by misdiagnosis and ignorance of the disease for a long period of time. The truth is, even if you went ahead and
cranked the numbers for the infection probability among the average american, your data would be tainted and unreliable due to the Federal Governments
"restrictions" on testing. The slaughterhouses that want to test all their cows are being told they can't. Somebody doesn't want the bottom line
on exports to suffer any more than it already has, which is an indicator to me that many, many beef eaters are probably screwed (due largely in part,
thank you very much, to the people who are supposed to be protecting the food supply)
I've also heard rumors that the slaughterhouses and ranches that had cattle destroyed years ago had acted unfavorably to the regulating authorities
in the past, and or were not owned by goverment insiders by and large, while those ranchers who were also government connected escaped with little or
no damage to their yearly profit margins. Can anyone substantiate this? I've been trying but a whole lot of websites that once were up, are up no
longer. Mass, revolving outages..hmm..that sucks a lot huh?
