Thanks, didn't know that.
But vaccines don't help those already infected, do they?
No, vaccines don’t help the currently infected, but getting one would be a wise choice for the uninfected in an area with a growing incidence of the disease. In addition to dirty needles - tattoos, as well as drug use - and sexual transmission, Hep. C can be spread by unsanitary food preparation and in medical situations.
There is actually a cure for hep C these days. I don't know if it's 100% effective, but I do know it exists, and a full treatment course costs about $28,000 which of course the "activists" are screaming about since it seems too expensive for their pampered druggie parasites to afford (but somehow they can afford drugs to get high)
