As would making the assumption it ever will. In 50 years of CWD positive big-game, there is no increase in CJD in humans in the areas with highest prevalence for the longest time.
Sure, monitor and continue to study. But panic and misinformation/click bait from the article in question is as ridiculous as it is irresponsible. Crap junk "science" like that shouldn't even be published.
The way science works is not anecdotal nonsense about 2 cases with no evidence, in any way, that a CWD positive deer was the cause of either. We don't even know if they consumed a CWD positive animal in either case.
Just because 2 people happened to have CJD is an area with CWD, does not equate to anything other than a statistical anomaly, like a NR hunter drawing 2 sheep tags in 2 states the same year. It doesn't mean the draws are rigged, it's just a statistical probability that happens from time to time.
Again, it would seem to me that if CWD was transferable to humans, the areas that have had CWD the longest, with the highest prevalence, after 50 years, we would be seeing much higher infections of CJD in humans.
We aren't and that's why I put no value in that article other than just something to report, but in a way that isn't clickbait and BS.
