Episode Description from the Publisher

Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD) and special guest, Yale researcher, Dr. Laura Manuelidis. Very few independent Wildlife Biologists have taken an in-depth, independent deep dive into CWD and arguably none have studied the history of CWD politics more than private Wildlife Biologist Jason R. Snavely, CWB. Even fewer read the actual data; the lost science! In this episode, Jason highlights where research took the wrong turn and why hunters and sporsment are so frustrated with the decisions made by state wildlife agencies, in the name of "CWD management". Most importantly, he reveals a scientist who has some very good data that show that the prion theory falls flat on its face. This is the only work of its kind that examines why researschers have accepted, hook line and sinker, the "Prusiner Prion Theory"; a theory built by one man and defended by his tight group of scienfic cronies and collaborators. Dr. Stanley Prusiner leavened the TSE research field, in the name of fame and money, to the point that no one talks about infectivity, the slow virus science and the true infectious agent; UNTIL NOW!
