I couldn’t agree with you more!!!! I wasn’t trying to be jokey with this. Just pointing out that what some people take as gospel should be taken with a grain of salt–i.e. don’t believe everything your read. That’s all. Humans cannot contract a BOVINE disease. Hence what the Harvard experts said was true. However, humans CAN contract a variant of that disease–CJD. I was trying to point out that the Harvard experts were kind of glossing over the important thing–CJD–and that quotes in articles can be manipultated to hold up any argument….
