DISTURBING DISCOVERY: 4.7 million Russians born before the 1997 at risk of prions disease

In 1997, Russia admitted to importing 730 tons of potentially prion disease-contaminated British beef that had entered the country illegally via Belgium. While official reports indicate that Russia has not recorded any confirmed human cases of variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (vCJD) originating within its territory, the potential exposure was considered "extremely serious" by government officials at the time.Based on the 730 tons of beef Russia admitted to importing, it is estimated that approximately 4.7 million people could have consumed a single serving of that meat. How is this not a current alarming issue? Are current Russians even aware of this? It’s scary because it can take literal decades for symptoms to appear..
