That the next pandemic is going to be a Prion disease that develops within the factory farming system.
We might be in one, there's talk that Alzhiemers might be a prion disease that happened as a result of using cadavers to obtain human growth hormone. Which was then given to folk in a potentially misfolded form...
That's really fucking interesting. Please could you point me in the right direction to research more?
So sorry, my notifications weren't notifying for some reason and never responded. Here's the paper where the link was made, the practice of gathering human growth hormone from cadavers was stopped in 1985, but the damage may already be done and surgical procedures today may expose others to transmission unless modified 😧 lemme know if you'd like to know more, am a Biologist!
