If CJD is indeed the diagnosis of a patient, often a brain biopsy is discouraged, because it will not alter the course of the disease. Nor, is it certain that the biopsy will obtain specimens from the affected area, putting the patient at risk for further complication of an already fatal disease. Biopsy and autopsy procedures of CJD, put those who handle the specimens at a small risk likewise, due to accidental self-inoculation.

But sometimes the antibodies don’t win the fight… Vaccinations use immunisation to prevent infectious diseases by using our bodies natural defence mechanism and if the body can fight off the infectious disease the body will build a resistance to the specific injection. But the rate of immunisation is dropping and the vaccinations are no longer working and this is unfavorable because when the antibodies can’t fight off the injection of the whooping cough, for example, the child then gets the whooping cough. Childhood vaccinations can have an important non-health related types consequences for the children 's well being like, their school attendance, physical growth, and cognitive ability.
