Veterans and active duty.Hepatitis C associated with Airgun Innoculations in bootcamp?

Has any Veterans or current service members ever found out later that you have Hepatitis C. I joined the NAVY in 1980 and before bootcamp was ovewr I was sicker than a mutt. They used Airjet guns for innoculations, and everyone one of us had bloody arms after all the A and B shots, they never changed tips , never swabbed anyone down before or after shots, and in 1980 it would be 8 more tears before they even had a test to detect HEP C.. I found out in 1989 that I had HEP C and I never usewd intravenous drugs or recieved blood transfusion and fell into none of the risk catergories, was just wondering if anyone else ever found out after leaving the service if they found out later they had hepatitis C.. and if so PLEASE go to hcvets.com and do the survey about when and where you went to basic training,, all branches of service, Thje armed forces need to own up to the fact that the sanitary rules for innoculations back in the 70s and 80s put us at great risk, but they turn thier heads.

Try using the word "Allegedly" in your question / statement unless you have enough conclusive proof to take the military to court, and up until then the military are innocent until case proven!!
Reply:If you were to maintain you got the disease thru this means, then genotyping the Hepatitis C virus should prove that all cases are similar in genotyping. I think this is highlyunlikely, as the high pressure used to push the vaccines into the sub-cutaneous tissues would also keep blood from entering the injection tip. I used this gun many times, and the amount of blood needed to innoculate someone with hepatitis C is alot more than a pinhead.amount. Young people often engage is high risk activities, such as sharing a bong, and that is more likely to spread hepatitis than a pneumatic immunization.
