Re: Where is the proof that the Hepatitis C (HCV) virus really exists? (same goes for HIV, the aids retrovirus)

 "Dr. Lanka: No, there's no such thing as infectious hepatitis."

Please explain the hepatitis outbreaks from restaurants that are linked to employee with hep A.

Hepatitis viruses have also been isolated from seafoods since hepatitis viruses can liver for quite a while in ocean water.  In fact cases of viral hepatitis, polio and other viral conditions have been reported t be contracted from swimming in contaminated waters of the ocean.  And there was an article in the Journal of Public health which reported something like 80,000 cases of hepatitis being contracted from chlorinated drinking water in one year.

And we still have to keep in mind that viruses are not the only pathogens capable of causing infectious hepatitis.  So the claim that there is no such thing as infectious hepatitis is ludicrous to begin with.  The claim just shows a complete ignorance as to what hepatitis really is.
