Oh GTFO with this.

With an potential incubation period of 40 years, how could they possibly do this?

I mean did he get a confirmed genetic test he had the latent gene?

There are variations where they can at best say it’s unlikely, but they can’t say “THERES ZERO CHANCE” absent that

The American beef supply is safe, commercially. Mostly because if there is any chance of mad cow disease, they kill the cow, the herd, and any cow that might have even looked at anything the original cow might have touched.

That doesn’t preclude hunted meat though. And given the time frame I doubt they would make such a definitive statement. Hell I’m not a hunter, nor is my family, but I’ve had a few meals made with hunted meat. All it takes is one to say there is no longer any chance. Over 40 years.
