"Sporadic" my ass. It's pretty clearly established in reputable studies that a large % of Alzheimer's patients actually have CJD. And that CJD (not just nvCJD) can be caused by infected meat. I'd say that the death rate of thousands a year to BSE is probably accurate, although it seems to mostly affect the elderly.
It's not a crisis, but the authorities are either in denial or in cover-up mode.
