Wonder harder.

This is all dependent on you catching me in the first place... Or surviving the crash to begin with.

I'm thinking of a word for a plastic bag full of weak aceitic acid and intended for feminine hygiene. Could you help me with that word?

KJU gas chambers. KJU standing for Kim Jong Un.

What if they moved the two closer? What if... Oh, it's a movie.

Then you should have asked for someone with plenty of experience administering it. Hold your other shoulder? What, do you have impenetrable skin?

No. My contention is that there is no solid evidence that a healthy lifestyle will A) Prevent you from getting influenza and B) keep you from having a bad outcome from it. The best prevention is immunization, followed by hand washing and hand hygiene, followed by social distancing. How the immune system responds…

Epidemiologist. Working on a DrPH at that university that rhymes with "Bob Hoskins."

And thank you for giving me a forum to reach folks that might not otherwise hear the message. Although, to be honest, it's my opinion that sci-fi fans are more science-oriented than popular culture would have us believe.

Yes, quadrivalents will be the new normal. Not only do they protect against the Bs, which are harder to predict than the As, but they are also able to take out one of the B components and substitute any other antigen in a pinch.

A study in Japan saw that, after the removal of mandatory immunization for influenza in school-aged children, it wasn't the children that had more bad outcomes... It was the elderly grandparents. The level of impact was strong enough to get some prefectures to mandate flu vaccine for children again.

Lungs are not part of the upper respiratory system, by the way. We have found plenty of virus in the lung tissue of deceased cases of influenza.

Thanks, Annalee. I've investigated 42 deaths in children due to influenza in my career as an epidemiologist. I'm yet to find one that was vaccinated. Then again, most of them were too young to be vaccinated, and, thus, at the age where they were most susceptible to bad outcomes from it. We were always able to find at…

But will you be getting the flu vaccine too?

There's a whole slew of them. Search #pathogenposse.

Really? How do we stand out? Do we grow horns?

May I recommend the nasal vaccine, then? And may I recommend that her close contacts get theirs so they don't give it to her if she's post-op?

And I heard it from a family who would go on to lose a baby because of it.
