2004 Mad Cow Disease Scare in Australia (Not)
This is amusing:
http://www.abc.net.au/mediawatch/tra...s/s1203319.htm A hospital held a news conference to announce that over a thousand brain and spinal cord patients were being contacted about possible transmission through contaminated surgical instruments from a patient that died of CJD. Some journalists were under the wrong impression that CJD = Mad Cow Disease. vCJD is the human form of Mad Cow Disease, but classic CJD is not. Classic CJD can be transmitted through contaminated instruments, but it is not Mad Cow Disease. But the wrong story ran away while the facts were still getting their shoes on.

2004 Mad Cow Disease Scare in Australia (Not)
Here in the US, Mad Cow Disease outbreaks just aren't considered
important enough to report on. Our media concentrates on important stuff, like Britney spears hair. http://homepage.mac.com/jimjohnson/i...61/E486832619/ http://www.organicconsumers.org/madcow/jersey12104.cfm
