I'll have to watch the video to see if this is duplicative, but to avoid that I'll be brief: a while ago I stumbled across the origin of the weaponization of prions. Quite damning circumstantial evidence, IMHO.

I've never seen the pieces put together anywhere so I'll have to write it up in a post one of these days. In the meantime, anyone with even moderate interest can put these few pieces together:

• The book "Brain Trust: The Hidden Connections Between Mad Cow and Misdiagnosed Alzheimer's Disease" by Colm A. Kelleher (2004)
• Daniel Carleton Gajdusek
• Joseph Edward Smadel
• The paper "The Possession of Kuru: Medical Science and Biocolonial Exchange"

Not that this comes as a surprise to anyone, but more for the historical record.
