“…Harash Narang, a Newcastle microbiologist, considered such an
expert in BSE that he was invited to join a Nobel prizewinning US research team.
Working from the Newcastle Public ÎçÒ¹¸£Àû1000¼¯ºÏ Laboratory, he found evidence that the
infectious agent causing BSE was present in DNA and could thus be spread to all
parts of a cow’s body.”
So wrote a respected team of reporters in a two-page spread in The
Observer (24 March), the first Sunday after the latest BSE crisis
erupted.
Since then I have been searching in various journals for confirmation or
refutation of that claim, but without success. Was the article incorrect, or are
we witnessing another example of political muzzling?
