Yes,exactly and the shape is not known a priori unless one has a
reasoned model -- which in this case we most certainly do not have.

We have data from the UK cattle epidemic, which should be a reasonable
guide until more information is available (if ever).

As you probably know, some think it is caused by the chronic effect of
exposure to toxic proteins from BSE affected cows.

News to me. Sounds like a torsten fishing expedition.

Quite a bit like
that Minamata disease in Japan caused by exposure to methylmercury,
just slower. But that can't be right, since

there isn't a scrap of evidence for it.

If there were to be toxic protein in the brains of BSE cows,
there should be at least sproadic reports of acute cases of dementia
in humans caused by the sunday dinner,

Why?
Torsten, are you practising your irony again?
You haven't quite got it yet.

IOW, we do not have
a clue what vCJD is caused by,

You ought to look up 'prions'.

and to be worse very many people think
it is caused by something that the EPA has determined that it cannot
be caused by.

Ahhh.
Having lost the 'millions die of vCJD' argument you are now either:

1) Practising irony. Badly.
2) Grasping at straws to 'support' your anti-GM stance.

You never learn, do you.
