        Time to take your drops, friend. You read way too much into what, as I read it, was just an helpful comment providing context to the story

        Didn’t intend snark. Just wanted to report what the article was about, for those annoyed by clickbait.

        Are you perhaps experiencing a fever, discomfort or itching at the bite site, and a sudden and inexplicable fear of water?

        Because it’s been a hot minute since I’ve seen such a nonsensical, aggressive response to an innocuous comment…

    "Francis Collins…got behind the effort to eradicate hepatitis C in the United States by 2030. The Biden administration allocated about $10 billion to achieve this. With the new administration [of Donald Trump], this is all gone.*

          Don’t get me wrong, journalism should be a paid profession in a capitalist society, just pointing out the irony (90s Alanis Morissette style).

          While I do indeed hate paywalls and find modern journalism fundamentally broken, I recognize their utility.

          I’m pretty sure anyone in the US has had enough pharma ads smashed in their faces for conditions they don’t have their quota for a free vaccine should have been met about 20 years ago.
