"The issue is that science is more concerned about CWD jumping to humans then EHD. It's not just about deer, but people also. It's also about a threshold that society accepts or rejects. And, while you suggest they are regulated heavily they don't want that regisktion which is another huge issue."
with my medical background I think you have a better chance of the ehd virus mutating than a prion jumping to humnans. Not to say it couldn't but viruses mutate constantly. If we want to blame the spread of CWD on someone we need to blame the government because that's where it started.
I have a friend(that is a hunter) that is telling me that he has people coming up to him constantly at work, after this expose, and asking him if all the wild deer are diseased.
