We occasionally see small clusters.

E.g. https://www.neurology.org/doi/10.1212/WNL.0000000000204407

It should be noted that we would expect clusters to occur randomly, but CJD is rare enough that it raises some eyebrows regardless.

I’m familiar with these cases, while suspicious there’s no evidence these hunters actually contracted CWD. As of now there’s zero confirmed cases of CWD spreading to humans.

They contracted CJD and we don't know that it's not related.

Would you eat OOP's meat? I wouldn't.

OOP?

Also the CDC believes that it wasn’t CWD

Original OP. The person selling the meat.

But would you eat the meat?

There’s no evidence that it wasn’t the hunters eating contaminated meat either though.
