Letter: Questions that scientists must answer on mad cow disease
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.AS THE mother of Victoria Rimmer, who is dying of spongiform encephalopathy, I would like to ask: how has she contracted it except from something that she has eaten? I have received a letter from a woman whose mother died from CJD. She was told that it was contracted by eating contaminated meat. For years she has been trying to get people to listen.
We want some action now before another child dies. I would hate any other parent to go through the living hell of seeing someone who they love in this terrible state.
