I am disappointed information is being passed on as possibilities, could be, likely, associations, timed to point to a possibility, instead of reporting just the facts as the scientist find them and nothing else. Only "Principles of fact" should be used giving out information. pertaining to CWD.
However, I do want to be informed the status of CWD facts(nothing else) as they pertain to me and deer hunting no matter how bad...not possibilities.
Important Facts I want to know are how many are located in various places....how many test are positive and how many were negative...% positive.

If you read the article, The Author tells you that the American Academy of Neurology is ringing the alarm bell, and the Author concludes that this is just a Nothing Burger. I don't blame Field and Stream nor the author for ringing alarm bells. It looks to me like they are trying to dampen the alarm bell that the Academy...probably a left leaning academy if I were to guess...rang. But yeah, as Bayou Guy pointed out. It is a nothing burger.

The “balloon of CWD” is slowly deflating and causing panic among its proponents! Significant funding lies in jeopardy, data manipulation is being exposed, questionable management strategies are failing, and the public has had it! When CWD “appeared” it gave some wildlife biologists a “hammer” to do away with things they hated: deer breeding, feeding, trophy management,and most of all private property owners managing their deer; among many other pet peeves!

Comments of Junk Science” on CWD!

We want to commend Dr. Jim Heffelfinger for taking a stand! Here is his quote from Outdoor Life, who backed down on this! “This is not a study and this is not a scientific paper,” veteran deer biologist and wildlife science coordinator for the Arizona Game and Fish Department Jim Heffelfinger wrote in an Instagram post Thursday. “The whole thing is only 344 words and is simply a mention about two hunters that died of [Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease] and both of them ate deer from the same deer population. There is no evidence of CWD infecting hunters.” Yet, in reviewing comments made about all this, there are still folks proposing we test all venison before we eat it! Do you realize what that says to the public, and the impact it will have on deer hunting? It would be far better to advise the entire U.S. population to have their genetics tested to see if they have the rare CJD susceptibility gene that could cause spontaneous development of sCJD— just as stupid and rediculous!

Unfortunately, the hardest thing about doing science these days is figuring out what they want you to find out! We never played that game! It’s hard to get pure “peer review” anymore! It’s a club!

The article you read on the link isnt the original article.

The original article didnt have any kind of conclusion at the bottom, it simply stated two hunters possibly died from eating CWD meat.

Our method of testing the deer is frying a patty before stuffing sausage.

NIGHTTRN....That's some good info here...it would be great to see numbers for the last ten years but knowledge of the process tests has probably changed quite a bit.

Would be an interesting study to see how many different forms of infestations dead humans have, things like prions, bacteria, viruses, all that don't cause significant mortality or morbidity.

I bet we would find quite a percentage are infected with prions and other small things like spirochetes that are not causing disease.

Would be more interesting to take some human brain tissue and test it with the wildlife biologists and see how much tests positive for CWD...I bet it wouldn't be zero
