"The [Division of #Viral #Hepatitis] Laboratory Branch had the highest degree of viral hepatitis expertise of any #PublicHealth laboratory in the world," wrote Scott Becker, the assn's CEO. "Their loss eliminated critical national testing services that do not exist anywhere else within the #HHS agencies."

As of April 16, the assn had not received a response from #RFKJr, Becker said.

The #hepatitis C #virus, which is spread through contact w/infected blood & can lead to #deadly liver #cancer, is notoriously hard to identify. But if anyone could understand what was #happening in FL, it would be the Division of #ViralHepatitis in the #CDC's HQ.
Using samples from the lab's collection of nearly 1M frozen specimens, scientists helped make the initial discovery of the #HepatitisC virus in the 1980s. In 2020, that #research was awarded the #NobelPrize in #Medicine.

In the middle of a #hepatitis #outbreak, #CDC shutters the one lab that could help

After people started testing positive for #HepatitisC in a coastal #Florida town in December, state ofcls collected blood from patients, wrapped their specimens in dry ice & mailed them straight to the CDC in ATL, GA.

#KINutzen #Retröt
Ein Forscherteam hat mithilfe von Künstlicher Intelligenz die #Proteinstrukturen der #Flaviviridae-#Virenfamilie untersucht, zu der u.a. #HepatitisC, #Zika und #Dengue gehören. Dadurch wurden neue Glykoproteine entdeckt, die entscheidend für das Eindringen der #Viren in #Wirtszellen sind. Besonders bei Hepatitis C wurden neue #Eintrittsmechanismen entschlüsselt, was die Entwicklung von #Impfstoffe​n erleichtern könnte.

*They do #charity work in several #GlobalSouth nations*

#MakeMedicinesAffordable (MMA) believes it is every person’s right to access the treatment they need, and that intellectual barriers (IP) preventing this must be removed.

MMA works to bring down the price of #HIV, #TB, #HepatitisC, and potential #COVID19 #medicines, specifically in middle-income countries (MICs). The majority of people living with HIV are from MICs. The income classification of these countries means they are routinely left out of schemes, yet are far from able to pay what monopoly holders demand. This forces countries to ration.

Extortionate price tags result in choices. The ‘choice’ to sell your house or go without meds, or a government’s ‘choice’ of which citizens to treat if you can’t treat them all.

No country should be forced to decide WHO to treat. They must treat EVERYONE.

The MMA campaign is led by the International Treatment Preparedness Coalition #ITPC and partners, made up of civil society organizations from over 20 countries. They include patients, lawyers, #health experts and activists, all choosing, instead, to challenge the IP measures that benefit profit but not people.

About 1,750 people in the #UK are living with an undiagnosed #HepatitisC #infection after being given a #transfusion with #ContaminatedBlood, according to BBC analysis.

Official documents, seen by BBC News, reveal how the UK government and the #NHS failed to adequately trace those who were most at risk of having the #virus.

They show how officials slowed detection rates and even sought to kept public awareness of the virus low

#POTUS #JoeBiden has a foolproof plan to eliminate the nation’s deadliest blood borne disease, #HepatitisC 🦠 from the USA 🇺🇸 using proven antiviral #chemistry. 👉 huffpost.com/entry/biden-plan-

But he has to get #BananaRepublicans in Congress to temporarily suspend their #antiscience platform first. That should be doable while propagandists in the #Kremlin are focused on #Ukraine and #Gaza. 🤷🏻‍♂️

My colleague, Nick Florko, spent three years reporting this tour de force project on how state prisons are allowing inmates to die of a curable disease, #hepatitisC. It is so worth your time, though be forewarned: It is heartbreaking & infuriating. statnews.com/death-sentence/
