Op-Ed article by Dr Scott C Ratzan says discovery of mad cow disease in cow in Washington State should concern us, less because of any risk of contracting disease through eating beef and more because knee-jerk reaction by public, news media and policy makers could threaten our ability to make reasoned and effective response to threat; says contrary to popular opinion, there is no direct evidence that Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease comes from eating contaminated beef; hopes newest mad cow discovery will lead to good policy decisions based on sound science; says that science does not yet exist, and rushing ahead with bans and slapdash agricultural measures might divert even more attention from real threats to health and well-being (M)
