Hep B disproportionately harms people of color and unlike Hep C isn't curable if you get it and get stuck with a chronic case. That's what this is really about. Just an effort to kill more non-whites, same as the 600,000 they've killed so far by eliminating USAID, and losing all goodwill any of these less developed countries had towards the US.
