Vertex VX-950 Phase 2 Trial - My Results

Apologies for my tardiness in posting these results. I got them on 29th March and have sat since then in a kind of euphoric daze as the implications have slowly percolated through my consciousness. Fear of the gods, who sport with us as boys with flies - or straw dogs or some such, has finally given way to a shuddering wave of relief, joy and gratitude. In short, just for today I no longer have Hepatitis C. Here are my results.
