Guest guest Posted August 5, 2009 Report Share Posted August 5, 2009 bobL here. the percentage in my " opinion " was an off-the-cuff guesstimate based on observations and experiences in society over my lifetime, including my understanding of how and how likely the HCV is communicated. no other basis for argument either way, but i think in general magnitude i'm in the ballpark. the public, when being made aware, will certainly quickly gravitate to dividing into categories and stigmatizing. that's what people do. count on it, it's very reliable. blaming the victim is an ancient tradition in human existence. so there's probably no way to dispel stigma and prevent discrimination. even lots of docs treat patients with HCV like low-life trash without bothering to find out how they got it. people somehow think IV drug users all do so because they're either weak, inferior, dumbass sorry excuses for human beings deserving no help and resenting their energy being taken from them to give to those so afflicted, or simply evil gluttens for pleasure, hedonists, who now deserve to pay the price. i sure have no solution. i prefer to avoid junkies, speedfreaks, pillheads, alcoholics, etc whether long time sober and recovered or otherwise. just NOT to be trusted. fine on line, but stay outta my space and face. many of them will lie to hide that past to avoid that rejection. i sympathize and feel sorry for them, self included, but sure would rather not leave myself open and vulnerable, no thank you. so i guess i'm part of the problem. > -----Original Message----- > That was not the conversation I was replying to if you read the post > " bob' had made a comment on " his Opinion " on the percentage > of people he feels contracted this disease out of " bad behavoir " again > " his opinion " > being an advocate I could argue those stats but anyway.... > > what I was saying is it is very sad if we in the hep > community start diving ourselves into catagories and > stigmatizing one another. how are we ever going to raise > awareness and educate the public????!!! , to dispel stigma > and discrimanation associatied with this Silent Killer? > > As a community we need to come Together, take care of each > other, who cares how each of us got the disease, I > contracted hep c from a blood transfusion , and have no > problem being " friends " with those who contracted from Iv > drug use or any other way! > > that was my point! > > signed, > not so bad after all. > > > > > > > Dear whoeveryouare, > > > > I usually don't respond to unsigned emails but in this case I will. > > It matters a great deal where you got it if you are a > veteran and you got > > it while in the service because then you can get service > connected disability. > > > > > > > > Hi All! > > Why does it matter how one contracted this disease???? > > Nothing will change until we stop stigmatizing ourselves > and each other! > > > > I am new here.....by the way.....and if this is a group > where you are dividing yourselves up by how you contracted > the disease that is so very sad! > > how then do you ever hope to raise awareness and educate > others so people can understand this disease? > > The only hope to get the supports and services that each > person suffering from any illness especially one as serious > as ours is be united. > > Bob if someone did not want to be in a community because of > something someone else did none of us would have any neighbours! > > > > hope,and love is healing! > > > > > > > ------------------------------------ > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
