    Issue is we now have a decent population of people who will eat the tainted meat because “The government is lying” and trick others into eating it, saying, “See? You’re fine, that was ‘tainted’, the government is lying to you”

    This could legitimately cause damage because the fringe crazy is now much more populous

      I mean, if you look at what happened during the BSE outbreak in the UK, this is basically exactly what happened. There was a politician who even fed his 4 year old kid a burger on TV to show how perfectly safe the meat was.

      The nice part about prion diseases is that the only thing those people will achieve is killing themselves off, unless you decide to start eating their corpses
