They’ve ruled out any chance that he got it from an animal. Doing another spinal tap tomorrow is what I was told.

Did he take the Covid vaccine?

It is extremely rare. One case per million people. Maybe he will get good news.

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.

Unless the understanding of the disease has advanced rapidly in the last 5 yrs or so I am not sure how they can definitively say that.
They know very little about transmission and it can stay dormant for decades. Symptoms starts at the very end of the disease life cycle.

If he didn't get the prion from an animal, it was either a de novo production of the prion (which I guess has to be possible to some extent for prions to exist in the first place), or he ate human nervous tissue.
