" The Day The World Listened "

CDC announces all Baby boomers get tested for Hepc yesterday, this is my reply:

" The Day The World Listened "

We the people of the greatest country in the world have the right to bear arms to protect our families from predatory individuals.

We the people of the USA have the right to protest our government when there has been horrific discrimination and neglect concerning the untim...ely deaths of millions of people infected with the hepatitis c virus via blood transfusions, iv drug use, medical procedures, air gun vaccines.

NOW is the time to take action in hopes of raising awareness and rising above the stigma associated with this blood borne killer of Americans and Canadians.

They are compensated in Canada for receiving tainted blood, there is no price tag to compensate a lifelong battle against this hideous disease.

This is only a measure used to calm the population into silence.

NO MORE......SILENCE

Talking to and seeing all of these people I've loved for the last eight years of running "Hepc Out Of Bounds" was a life changing event. My Heart is so full of love for them, and so full of rage for the CDC at the same time, I must take action by shouting it to everyone I can. The government and the CDC knew hep c was in the RED CROSS blood supply back in 1990...Why are they just now announcing a screening program for all baby boomers.

After we have lost hundreds of thousands of people, I'm infuriated.

Fifteen thousand a year are DYING in the good old USA each and every year due to the hep c virus, ( I believe the numbers are much greater than are reported )

22 years have now passed...

A Quarter of a MILLION people have lost their lives just because no one cared, or thought it would ever affect someone they loved and offered to screen them before. Now the CDC claims this measure will diagnose 800,000 and save the lives of 120,000 and they are proud of that statement?

Anyone that has had any procedure involving blood is susseptable, dental visits , tattoo's, hospital instruments, teen ear piercing parties.

All baby boomers should run, not walk to their local doctor and be tested ASAP.

I've dedicated myself to the people that are fighting for their lives, but now I see I am needed to start a REVOLUTION, by walking in your state, we remember the Vietnam Protesting, this will be one of peace and harmony in truth.

Everyone has the right to know.

It took me fifteen years, and six years of debilitating treatments to kill the virus to become a Dragon Warrior and that is nothing compared to the determination and rage I have developed for the people that have worked so diligently to keep this disease quiet.

Nothing will stop me from speaking the truth.

  I was diagnosed in 1992 and began my first treatment at that time, never knew of online help until 2003 and I've been running a website on Delphi for 8 years. I am Hep C Free five years now.  After losing so many members to hep c and then finding out the CDC is just now announcing the Baby Boomers must be tested, it really struck a nerve with me that they failed the American people by keeping it all quiet.
My question is more of a statement to that travesty. I believe we have the right to voice our thoughts and intentions, forgive me for not posting it in the correct manor. Kat (Fadedjeenz)
