Good news for England.

Thanks to RFKjr and friends, we know what country will be one of the last to do so. Or even worse, the US could end up being a reservoir for HepC.

My reading of the article was aggressive response by single payer healthcare (i.e. NHS) is responsible so that would be almost impossible politically in USA as long as senate exists on top of non scientific medical authorities.

The Senate? He just issued an executive order overriding all science. It's a total farce at this point.

		That's true, I was recollecting when we had somewhat ordinary politics in USA and Affordable Care Act passed when Democrats had majority in Senate but making it single payer was stopped by purported Democrat Joe Leiberman.

Care to elaborate?

What has RFK Jr specifically said for/against HepC?

I think the OP is extrapolating from the rise in measles cases under RFK Jr’s expert leadership

As you seem to be someone rushing out to defend RFKjr - what are some good things about him? What don’t you like?

		I have zero idea about who RFK Jr is or what it does, aside from being the US Secretary of Health, a country of which I am neither a citizen or resident.

Trump just issued an order reducing childhood vaccines, plus there is a Hep C vaccine which is being ignored by the CDC. Never mind the resurgence of many childhood diseases thanks to RFK jr and Trump.

I do not know why some people think the current US regime will follow England with all evidence pointing to doing the exact opposite.

Honestly, Mehmet Oz deserves more of the blame here. He and the other people who are fighting to make healthcare expensive and inaccessible create situations where people aren't being diagnosed and cured of Hep C, which leaves them passing the infection to others through sexual contact, sharing needles, etc.

RFK Jr. is an anti-vax crackpot, but Hep C isn't vaccine-preventable. On the other hand, we can absolutely blame RFK Jr. for our rising Hep A, B, and D rates.
