Mad Cow Disease The Great British Beef Scandal.

[HelenaDove]

Is anyone else watching?

I was 17 in 1990 but didnt know about the cats

that poor young girl...........and this was preventable

that was so disturbing making bloody cows eat meat how disgraceful , those horrible school dinners brought back memories at the very least school dinners are much better now.

if there was any more evidence needed that tories are bad news

I've watched this twice now. Very worrying. This is interesting about the recent MV case. Have there been more since then - allowing for missed diagnoses? There have still only (I know) been 223 deaths so far.

I have been obsessed - and I mean obsessed - with this disease for years and years. Nobody I have met takes it as seriously as I do and I can’t understand why nit. My husband says “you could die of anything” but my issue with vcjd is that it’s an avoidable disease. I’ve read loads of research and every month I check the Vcjd statistics on the cjd surveillance website. I truly believe we are being kept in the dark about the true extent of this illness. My own mum has dementia but who’s to say he’s b it vcjd? Post mortem is the only way to truly verify the true cause of death. I ate beef in the 80s. My own son had a blood transfusion as he was 14 weeks early. This disease is a time bomb. Just wait.

@cazb78, you and me both! And I went to a school in an area that was a vcjd hotspot. 'Terrified' doesn't begin to describe how I felt when I started researching it when it was fresh news in the 90s.
