Hepatitis C is a blood-borne viral disease which can cause liver inflammation, fibrosis, cirrhosis and liver cancer. The hepatitis C virus (HCV) is spread by blood-to-blood contact with an infected person's blood. Many people with HCV infection have no symptoms and are unaware of the need to seek treatment. Hepatitis C infects an estimated 150-200 million people worldwide.

Take some time to look into this guys...
Like, really look into it.
Notice anything odd about this company?

ImKramer 04/17/2013

No haven't spent a lot of time on it as it's not in my agenda at the moment. I see it has received the okay from FDA so that gives it a level of credibility to me.
I thought this exciting news as R&D in other HCV areasother than viral elimination.
Now are you commenting from a potential investors stance?

deleted_user 04/17/2013

From the stance of someone who looked into it further.

ImKramer 04/17/2013

Okay so no hints at what you're looking at so no nothing bites at me.
