 Prion fact #3: Trust but verify your opponent’s statistical data Salmonella: ~1.28 million foodborne cases a year. Campylobacter: 1.87 million a year STEC: 357,000 cases per year BSE-linked vCJD? Four U.S. cases EVER and 233 CUMULATIVE WORLDWIDE

Me when I take a small subset of data for a specific disease and compare it to a very large subset of data from one of the broadest categories imaginable

233 cases ever is crazy. People gaslighting you this hard for an entire day is wild work. You have my respect cuz you got a dog in you that does not let go or quit.

Norovirus: 5.5 million foodborne cases across the US annually. If you get sick from food, its most likely to be norovirus.

the people who are worried about prions are the same as the folks worried about lone star ticks and alpha gal syndrome to me

Bruuuuuuuh. I’ve had these dipshits riled up for an entire day because they’re upset I won’t let them fear monger like Fox News 😭. It’s so fucking easy for them to just say “You know what, you’re right. Prions is extremely rare and it’s wrong to drum up fear on it. What we mean to say is we’re worried about food integrity and safety given the new Trump Admin rules” but they don’t want to do it

We’re worried about the food safety rollbacks issued by the current administration. We’re worried about outbreaks, prions and non-prions alike. Two things can be true.
