It's not even a gain of function. A farmer would have to be a fucking retard to not notice cattle with mad cow disease. Pigs and chickens don't get prions and thus can't be infected by them. Even if every animal could get prions and the symptoms of the disease weren't obvious, how would deer spread the disease to pastures anyways? Maybe they could spread it to free roaming pastures, but it would be pretty easy to cull individual cattle with MCD symptoms in that scenario. Spreading it to a factory farm would be just about impossible because the cows don't interact with nature at all.

They're just grasping at straws for something else to fear monger with.

I was thinking more along the lines of:

> All meat sources are infected or at risk of infection. You must cull all livestock to slow the spread.

Whether it’s true or not, or possible, is irrelevant. They’ll just ***lie*** like they did with everything Covid and make meat prices massively inflate so more and more regular folk can’t access it.

At least that’s the angle I think they would take if they were trying something. Telling *you* you can’t eat meat anymore, but bug protein has been perfected! Eat your bugs goy
