I believe I have a personal responsibility to make a positive impact on society.

Im generally considered a conservative in my predictions for disease.

We feel confident that there won't be an outbreak.

There has been treatment for hepatitis C, but the treatment has not been overwhelmingly effective, number 1. And number 2, it has had considerable toxicity.
