I'm sorry, but that's a horribly flawed and uninformed thing to say.
You have no idea whether CJ and Alzheimers are similar from a medical standpoint.
It infects one in a million people worldwide, yearly, making it extreme rare. There are three types, "sporadic", "hereditary", and "acquired".
Sporadic accounts for 85+% of cases, people with no risk factors, and nobody knows how they get the disease.
Hereditary is exactly as it sounds, 10% of cases are hereditary.
Acquired accounts for less than 1%, and is when the person is exposed to infected brain matter or nervous system material. So 1% of 1/1,000,000 of cases are from infected cows and other contaminants (bad surgery procedure, etc).
Boy, am I ever scared.
