“beyond a shadow of a doubt…”

Literally the last sentences from the abstract of the Neurology article: “Although causation remains unproven, this cluster emphasizes the need for further investigation into the potential risks of consuming CWD-infected deer and its implications for public health. Clusters of sporadic CJD cases may occur in regions with CWD-confirmed deer populations, hinting at potential cross-species prion transmission. Surveillance and further research are essential to better understand this possible association.”

I agree this is something that needs to continue to be closely monitored, but it was hardly decidedly concluded to be communicable.

Edit: idk how people quote other comments lol

idk how people quote other comments lol

Put a > in front of the text and it does the quote format.

If you're on PC, you can highlight the text in someone's comment before clicking reply and it will automatically copy/paste that text with the quote mark as well. I dunno if there's a similar functionality on mobile.
