Thoughts? On CWD

[stormthelab20]

I came across this video on CWD and the government overreach to keep panic in the hunting community to fund unnecessary research. I might be late to the game, just wanted to hear some opinions on the matter. I live and hunt in north Idaho where we have been affected by this.

The scientific community has established overwhelming evidence that cwd is 1) real, 2) impacts deer herds substantially and detrimentally and 3) has not demonstrated the ability to infect humans.

And then you've got Ted Nugent and the captive deer growers all claiming it's BS government scheming.

We can pretend it's still a debate but it's just a bunch of uneducated yokels bitching and moaning. I'm sure a few of em will bitch and moan at me for saying it. Bring it on. I'm bored

Couple points about the video. Comments are off. That's always telling. The guy who made it lists a pile of accolades and qualifications in the description, few of which actually hold any relevance to a discussion about cwd.

If 98 pretty smart people all generally agree, and then two people not only disagree, but claim the other 98 are working together to silence them while getting mysteriously rich at the benefit of some shadow financier, the burden of proof on those two is extremely high. And that's just not been reached by the cwd skeptics.
