The conspiracy here is that the motivation for 9/11 includes protecting poppy fields in afghanistan under the 'inside job' or 'corporatist' model that treats 9/11 like a crime. Even if it weren't, then one could argue that it makes no sense for us to not destroy those poppy fields. As a result of this poor decision making, our veterans have become infected through injection drug use, and now it's going to add to astronomical costs for 9/11 you may not have thought about.

Connect the dots:

2) Military Veterans and Hep C [PDF].

22,000 vets with HepC in 1998. pg1

2008 -- 250,000 veterans in the VA’s care diagnosed with Hep C, pg1^[1]

• 250,000 in 2008.
  
• 250,000-22,000 = 228000 total increase.
• 10 yrs = 22800/yr avg increase.
• 8 (2016-2008) * 22800 + 228000 = 410400 estimated total hep C (because we're still in afghanistan!--nothing has changed)
• 410400 hep C Veterans * $84,000 (cost to 'cure') = $34,473,600,000 USD
• 250,000 in 2008 = $21,000,000,000 USD, then

Conclusion

It will cost between $21,000,000,000 USD -- $34,473,600,000 USD to treat US Veterans that have become infected with Hep C from sharing needles and/or getting blood from others infected from sharing needles. Hep C is not something you get except from exposure of blood-blood, so it's not from healthcare workers (iatrogenic), it's pretty much from either field dressings or from hanging out with the afghan farmers.

The military will get a deep discount from the pharma companies for protecting their products, so it will probably be half that amount.
