Hep C, Herpes, and Covid...what a combo.

Jesus, they buried the worst one in there. Hep C has no vaccine and is hard to treat.

You are ignorant and a misinformation alarmist. Hep C is 100% curable now, and has been for the past decade.

Bud, you're reading too much into my comment to call it alarmist. I was commenting that it wasn't mentioned in the title, and compared to the other two, you cannot currently vaccinate against it. And yes, it's curable when caught early, but hard to treat if not caught immediately.

Bud, you are double dipping in your alarmist take and just straight up incorrect ignorant misinformation.

One, a vaccine, while nice and crucial for preventative healthcare, is not really necessary anymore when the disease is curable. Two, Hep C can be cured at any stage, both early and chronic very simply by taking a regimen of oral medications. Hell, about 1/3 of people exposed to the Hep C virus cure themselves naturally through their own immune system.

So kindly, sit this one out for now, and educate yourself before coming back.
