so this means yet another option - great news. Wonder what genos?

And why do so many articles say that interferon causes "flu-like" symptoms???

I think "flu like symptoms" is appropriate. Not talking the sniffles. I mean flat out in bed for three days flu symptoms..only that lasts for a year and longer.
People die from the flu..

Funny how they can say that you don't get the flu from the FLU shot, but you can get what FEELS like the flu from Interferon.....geez.

Flu like symptoms is the small part. The shitty part is all the others what it does to your body , the heavy damage to internal parts, what it creates by the prolonged use. That is the reason they are trying to completely eliminated from the treatments. The side effects warning is a page long! There is a real reason for that.
Black box warning on all interferon alfa products. A new black box warning has been added to the labeling of all interferon alfa products (Intron A, Rebetron, Roferon-A). The revised labeling states that alpha interferons can cause or aggravate fatal or life-threatening neuropsychiatric, autoimmune, ischemic, and infectious disorders.
