I am puzzed why the world is so silent about HBV or HCV while giving much emphasis to HIV. As these deadly viruses can be eradicated with a vacin like small pox or polio. why countries or world health organizations do not go for mass vacinations.
Is there any one who can give me possible answers?

Very good! Hope other countries follow even though the initiative is not focusing on researching for a cure.

may be it's because the world is starting to realize that HIV isn't really that deadly with proper precautions & nutrition.

i've been wondering why hbv doesn't get much research grant when it is worse
