About a year ago, somepotato said that spaceacillin doesn't actually cure cluwning and that he didn't know why the medical scanners said it did. That said, it's possible that 1) someone made it cure cluwnism after somepotato made his comment 2) somepotato was mistaken or 3) it does cure it, but it takes so long that cluwnism has time to go away by itself, meaning that somepotato was technically right.
Regardless, I agree that people don't murder cluwnes anymore, but I don't think it's because it's easy to cure them. I think it's more a culture shift. To expand on Skornzy's point, back then, when most of the server was hyper-kill-murder-happy, it probably was a death sentence. Now that the playerbase has calmed down a bit, it's more of another annoyance.
While we're on the subject of making the cluwne more antag-ish, someone (Sundance? AtamusValeo?) wrote an eloquently-written list of that traits would make the cluwne more hateable and likely to be killed. It had things like making the cluwne radioactive and having them leave trails of space lube in their wake. There was also some talk of making the cluwnism contagious and giving all cluwnes an objective to spread the their disease, like some bastard version of monkey, though I'm not sure how it was received.
