This is being downvoted to oblivion but I'm not sure if it's true or not; hopefully someone can weigh in before it disappears.

Well hepatitis C wasn't and isn't easily curable, but i guess awareness of it was pretty low.

Is a stronger statement that hepatitis C is NOT curable, as it's a retroviral infection, thereby rewriting host DNA? [ Edit: i'd remembered incorrectly from decades ago: it's an RNA virus ]

Hepatitis C isn't a retrovirus, so I don't understand what you're saying.

To be clear, hepatitis C now has a 95+% cure rate with modern treatments.

There's a cure for Hepatitis C since 2015.
