You can't evolve as fast as Hepatitis C

Johns Hopkin's researchers studying HCV genomes and mutation rates have determined that the virus' rate of genomic change through evolution far outstrips both the immune system and the human capacity to develop new vaccines for the virus, with a panel of extant HCV viruses showing great resistance to current vaccines.

The mutations researchers found most involved in the processes of immune evasion for HCV were those involving surface proteins which were not the HCV binding protein. Researchers believe that these mutations alter the ability of the immune system to recognize virions, thereby allowing resistance both to natural and prophylactic immunity.

Happiness is all i see now I never thought that I will be cured from HERPES virus again. I have been suffering from a deadly disease (HERPES) for the past 3 years now, I had spent a lot of money going from one places to another, from churches to churches, hospitals have been my home every day residence. Constant checks up have been my hobby not until this faithful day, I was searching through the internet, I saw a testimony on how DR agaba helped someone in curing his HERPES disease, quickly I copied his email which is Dragabasolutionhome@gmail.com just to give him a test I spoke to him, he asked me to do some certain things which I did, he told me that he is going to provide the herbal cure to me, which he did, then he asked me to go for medical checkup after some days after using the herbal cure, behold I was free from the deadly disease, he only asked me to post the testimony through the whole world, faithfully am doing it now, please brothers and sisters, he is great, I owe him in return. if you are having a similar problem just email him on : Dragabasolutionhome@gmail.com or WhatApp: +2349074536486
