Default Prion theory proved ?

"Researchers in Switzerland claim to have proved a long-standing theory about
prions: that the proteins couple up to breed mad cow disease. Their experiments
should fuel the search for a cure"

Why would anyone waste money on a cure for a disease that is so rare it
would never recover the research costs? Unless prions cause a disease that
will make money for the people that produce the drug it just a won't happen.

The beef cattle farmers would like this one as either they can say there is
a cure for it or all there cows is innoculated against the virus, thus
making beef more safe to eat . . . .

Would you be saying this if it was you affected by vCJD?

I wouldn't like it but I would under stand it. Nearly every day of my life I
have to decide how to apportion some limited resource. Generally time and
money.Presented with a choice of vCJD and deaths buy lighting strikes
lighting wins ever time. I know I can save lives there for a reasonably
return on the dollar with education. If I want to get more technical I can
seed clouds and let them rain our before the get to the people.

I can stand on the street coroner an preach food cleanleness and preparation
and save scores more lives than I could if I save every CJD victim form
their disease for what to be frozen in half or less of a person for another
20 year to drain their families and society of resources and know they are
not quit right? I spots that fits you right now.
