I thought we had covered just about
every aspect of Zombiology 101 but I have to admit this is an aspect we had not
even considered. I don’t believe that something like a vaccine would be
possible for this thing. Medically, it doesn’t make sense.
As I understand it, vaccines are a
weakened version of whatever you are getting a vaccine for. It is enough so
that your body can generate the antibodies to kill the strain of say flu or
whatever. I don’t see Kharon acting that way. Only the smallest dose would
eventually replicate enough to shut your body down and cause you to rise.
But Alex took a full on bite from a
zom. We saw it. There is no denying it. He was clearly exposed to the virus and
yet he is showing no symptoms.
Is it possible he is genetically
immune to the virus? And seeing that he is my son, in theory, I have about a
50/50 shot of being immune myself. If he gets the immunity from his mother’s
genealogy, then I am still at risk.
But here is the thing, I cannot know
if I am immune unless I am exposed. And if I am wrong… I am dead. And then I am
undead. So it would be like playing Russian Roulette.
Well, I for one am not willing to find
out if I am immune so my plan is to just remain bite free. But it must mean
that there are people out there that will be immune to this strain. Maybe Alex
is the key to our survival. There have to be other people out there that are
immune as well. The question is how do we find them? Could it be a genetic
marker that could be studied and analyzed?
Now, this may make Alex immune to the
virus but zombies can kill you in more ways than just the virus. If you
skydived into a pack of these things, they are just going to see you as meat
and rip you to pieces. Teeth can kill you regardless if you are immune to the virus.
Alex cannot be the only one. The
government needs to know this… Literally, overnight, the game just changed…
