Hepatitis A Outbreak!

Imagine having a meal at your favorite take-out or restaurant only to find out later that one of the workers is infected with Hepatitis A. That’s what is happening and the “News” isn’t talking about it. It is an OUTBREAK and will get worse.

For the month of May, as of 4:00pm Eastern Time on 30 May, I’ve found included the 14 articles I’ve found concerning Hepatitis A and I can almost guarantee that I’ve missed a few. These 14 are only from May and the months before have as many, if not more cases. Who knows how bad it will get, but the “News” isn’t talking about it.

Check out the entire number of reports on my page:
