A 1989 study at the University of Pittsburgh autopsied
the brains of 54 patients who had been diagnosed with Alzheimer's and
discovered that three of the patients (5.5 percent of the sample)
actually had CJD. A 1989 study at Yale University reported similar
findings. Postmortem examination of 46 patients who had been
diagnosed with Alzheimer's revealed that six (13 percent of the
sample) actually had CJD.


Experts are so very entertaining.

The cover story of TIME magazine, December 4, 2006, is: Why We Worry About the Wrong Things. On page 68 is found the following:
"Exotic bugs like avian flu and mad cow disease might grab a lot of headlines, but so far they haven't killed a single person in the U.S."
