A bit of an off topic: does the substack subscription include the discord invite?

I’m an American who lived in the UK for a few years in the late 1980’s. This has resulted in me being barred from giving blood at the Red Cross or during blood drives. I was told that it is not known how long prions can live in a person before manifesting as CJD or perhaps now Alzheimer’s. As I enter my mid-60s, I may be finding out soon.

Your constant intimations about "Operation Paperclip" & some shadowy cabal of U.S. corporations being responsible for everything nefarious is simply asinine & belies your socialist leanings.

To suggest such a group was responsible for everything from financing the rise of Hitler (utterly incorrect & without any factual basis) to clandestine bioweapon production & now an outbreak of prion disease, demonstrates a total lack of understanding about U.S. corporate power structures and history.

I mean you're seriously suggesting public traded corporations, with millions of disparate shareholders, a revolving door of board members & no remaining employees from the 30s & 40s, are somehow driven by some nefarious motivations 50+ years later? Do you realize how ridiculous that sounds?

The Alzheimer's disease is all over the scientific news for the last several years as it is one of the most common neurodegenerative diseases. So basically, after reading this article, one of the logical steps is to assume that quite a significant part of the cases may be the kuru disease. What a clusterfuck that can be.
