I have not eaten a piece of Beef since the 90's when there was that madcow scare. I was also very particular about trying to eat meat that was cooked on the same surface as beef. Now I am not as neurotic.
I was also the kid that stayed awake at night worrying about Ebola when there was an outbreak in Zaire in 1995 I think it was.
- yumraj 6y agoGenuinely curious, based on how you described yourself, if you’ll be getting the COVID-19 vaccine?
- Grazester 6y agoI am not as paranoid an adult but CJD and Ebola scare the shit of me still. The survival rate of Covid-19 is higher than both Ebola and anything prion based so Covid-19 doesn't scare me as much. I will get the shot. Most of my family has already(medical profession). If my parents get Covid-19 they are as good as dead so I will be getting it for their sake also.

- yspeak 6y agoBTW not good as dead. My 92 year old relative with fiabetes and heart disease (heart attack and bypass survivor) survived Covid and covid related pneumonia. It does happen. And now there's the vaccine so get them that.
- hinkley 6y agoI stopped eating beef for a long time after that, then stayed away from ground beef for a lot longer. These days I eat gourmet burgers from time to time. The carbon footprint of beef is a disaster anyway. There are plenty of other reasons to stay away.
