Although slightly more than 100 deaths have been attributed to eating contaminated beef, some researchers speculate that millions of people may one day fall victims... but scientists know nothing yet ... That period of time could be anywhere from 10 to 60 years.

To me, this sounds like a clear case of Bad Science desease (BS desease). It's certanly spreading fast. Freon, global warming, cold fusion - all examples of how trustworthy our liberal academia have become. After 60 years any age related desease can be speculatively attributed to anything. AIDS producing behaviour is glorified (20,000 deaths per year, US only) but eating just "strikes fear". But hey, I don't blame them - tax dollars for BS grants... yummmmy.

Dr.Robert Peterson seems to have a financial intrest in this diease. Pleas note the investment stuff
